Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart Rhythm Conditions Support Group.

I waited one week. Don't lift more than 10 lbs first week, but check with your doctor. You want to ease back into things.

I was told it takes the area in the heart 3 mos to completely heal. That made me a little nervous about exercising. I can’t remember exactly when but it seems it wasn’t too much longer after my first postoperative visit maybe two weeks I asked and he said yes but no lifting weights. I would ask your doc or APN/PA.

I too eased back into my normal activities (no lifting for awhile) starting about 2 weeks after ablation. Listen to your Dr and your body, and stop when your body says to.
