Why do I have Increased resting heart rate following ablation?

Posted by joann2022 @joann2022, Mar 21, 2022

After 3 month, for afib ablation heartbeat goes from 70 to over 150 without activity. What is going on? Something new?

@joann2022, You'll see I slightly tweaked your title to attract other members with similar problems

Here are a couple of links that you might want to look at.

"Resting heart rate increased after ablation - The ablation success significantly correlated with the increase in HR at one month follow-up. In three patients the mean HR increased > 25 bpm resulting in symptoms necessitating therapy with rate-controlling drugs."
Increased resting heart rate following radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: https://academic.oup.com/europace/article/7/5/415/427352

Have you discussed this with your doctor yet? How long has this been going on?

Thank you .Had the ablation the last week of January. Went to the doctor yesterday. He’s not sure so I’m wearing a monitor for 72 hours he increased Altace 10 mg 2 times a day.
