AFIB - 1 month post ablation
I had an ablation (PFA) on the 26th of November. The procedure went well and I was discharged on the same day. I had a 13 hour bout of AFIB on the 2nd of December, but apart from that I have been feeling fine since the procedure.
Last night at around 11 pm my heart started to race. My HRV was very high, but my watch said I was still in sinus rhythm. Today my HRV keeps rotating between my normal level around 50 and a crazy high level of more than 300. I’ve taken several ECG on my Apple Watch throughout the day, it has mostly said sinus, but I did get on that said I was in AFIB. 10 minutes later it said sinus again, which I’m very happy about. My heart still seems to be racing a bit though. Should I be worried? It feels like the AFIB is trying to break through, but the ablation it fighting to keep in back. I don’t know if that makes sense.
When I was discharged, I was told that some arrhythmia was possible in the first 1-2 months. In that case, I guess this should be normal, although uncomfortable.
