Hi new to the board and my first post so here goes. I had two years of frequent af and fast af episodes and numerous trips to hospital before finally having my ablation in Dec'15. Everything was great with not even a palpitation until June when I started with the odd palp which over the next month became much more frequent and started to merge into prolonged episodes of palps', sometimes every 2/3 heartbeats to 5/8 minutes apart and the episodes lasting anywhere from 20 minutes to 39 hours. Went to a&e on one occasion but they could not capture the palps' and the ecg showed NSR.Still getting palps' but the prolonged episodes seem to have died away a bit but then two days ago woke up at 2am and my heart was going fast 130bpm. After 5 minutes daughter phoned an ambulance which arrived fast but when ecg done 100bpm and NSR. Declined trip to hospital and went back to bed. Got up 6 hours later and exact same performance and again today only lasting 10 minutes and 120bpm. Research suggest ST /SVT. Has anyone else experienced similar after an ablation. See cardiologist in 4 weeks but getting stressed by it and really frustrated.I had hoped it had all gone away. Have been feeling unwell (flu like) last week so that might be a factor I guess. Any help appreciated. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155844,155844#msg-155844 Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:01:52 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155844,155905#msg-155905 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155844,155905#msg-155905 researcher AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 01 Nov 2016 16:40:19 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155844,155864#msg-155864 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155844,155864#msg-155864

If I read you correctly you are about 6 months post-ablation, so most of the healing should be done. However, it's not uncommon to experience after-effects up to and including one year. If it is possible for you to do so, I'd recommend getting an AliveCor (now Kardia) device for your smartphone or portable computer. It's an EKG machine that literally takes the mystery out of just about everything. I have one myself and wish I'd have bought it sooner!]]> wolfpack AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 20 Oct 2016 03:06:22 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155844,155850#msg-155850 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,155844,155850#msg-155850
