During an ablation Can the physician see anything else wrong when inside your heart? I dont know what else he could see, but Im just wondering. Im having my first ablation this coming Tuesday the 21st. I get wicked pains in the back of my neck, sharp pains here and there in my head, and last night my left arm was aching for hours. My heart rate was ok, in the 60's and one spike to 130, which is a daily occurance for me, and I got super warm. However I did not go into afib. I have the kardia device and checked immediately. But I felt like hell, lethargic. So then of course I was paranoid and anxious and couldnt fall back asleep. Just wondering what else, if anything, they can see while doing the ablation.

An ablation won't detect heart problems other than arrhythmias. You need to mention these symptoms to your EP before the ablation. ASAP would be good. What you describe with your let arm sounds more like a nerve or circulation issue in that arm, but arm pain can be angina. An echo would not detect a partial blockage. But what do you mean you've had a heart cath and all came back good? Why were you catheterized?

Sorry just getting back here. I was catheterized because they gave me a stress test (nuclear) and it came back possible 3 blockages. But when the cath was done, i was deemed "all clear".

Its been 4 weeks (yesterday) since the ablation, and I gotta say, although I havent gone into AFIB, I do not feel all that great. Tired, lethargic, palpitations.... not going into afib is the only post ablation difference for me.]]> juanLopez1245 AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 19 Sep 2018 16:43:11 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164341#msg-164341 Re: During an ablation https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164341#msg-164341 Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 15 Aug 2018 17:53:37 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164336#msg-164336 Re: During an ablation https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164336#msg-164336 juanLopez1245 AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 15 Aug 2018 15:14:22 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164335#msg-164335 Re: During an ablation https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164335#msg-164335 juanLopez1245 AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 15 Aug 2018 15:13:55 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164331#msg-164331 Re: During an ablation https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164331#msg-164331
If you're having other symptoms that you believe to be related to your heart, tell your doctor right away. If you haven't had an echo, that might be a good idea. It's easy, quick, and painless.]]> wolfpack AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 15 Aug 2018 14:39:23 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164329#msg-164329 Re: During an ablation https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164329#msg-164329 jpeters AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 15 Aug 2018 14:06:20 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164328#msg-164328 During an ablation https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,164328,164328#msg-164328
