Tachycardia following Ablation

Posted by beebo @beebo, Feb 10, 2024

My ablation (2nd) was performed in November and immediately after that I experienced an increase in my resting heart rate from 65-70 BPM to low/mid 90’s BPM.
I’m back in sinus rhythm but this week I had my 90 day follow up that included a EKG. My EP says that tachycardia, which I now have is not unusual after an ablation. So the fix now is to have a cardioversion and if that doesn’t correct it then another ablation will be done. Anyone here have a similar experience? Thanks

I also have atrial tachycardia up and down all day and night but can’t take a beta blocker my HR can go down to 30’s during sleep.

I read tachycardia occurring up to a year after a heart ablation is typically die to the heart undergoing structural or electrical remodeling, incomplete or healing ablation lines ("gaps"), or changes to the autonomic nervous system a
Examples are digestive issues and feelings of anxiety,
