I am a 69 year old female and was encouraged to see your post because I have also experienced an increased resting heart rate since my only ablation in February 2023. At the time I was diagnosed with AFib in Oct 2022 my cardiologist started me on Diltiazem 120 mg, Amiodarone 200mg daily and Eliquis 5 mg/x2 daily with a plan to meet with an EP and proceed with an ablation as soon as possible. During that time my resting HR was between 65-74. After the ablation, my EP had me continue the Amiodarone for the 3-month blanking period and my resting HR was then in the high 80's to low 90's and has remained above 80 ever since. I discontinued the Amiodarone May 2023 and am only taking Eliquis at this point. In June 2023 I wore a 30-day heart monitor and my resting HR had come down to an average of 82 which was fine with my EP. At this point I still monitor my resting HR on a Fitbit and it has stayed around 80-83. While I am active during the day, my heart rate tends to range anywhere from 85-115. Since I am at almost a year post ablation, I am hoping my resting HR will eventually start to go down a little more. If not, I am trusting my EP that it's nothing to worry about.
