        <title>Weird Flutter Amid a Quiet Heart</title>
        <description> It has been seven .months since my very successful RPVI ablation for intractable atrial tachycardia.  I have had an amazingly wonderful seven months of sinus rhythm and a quiet heart.  Today at work, I was suffering from an unpleasant head cold and decided to risk a Sudafed.  Then it happened. It was only a moment.. A blip..   But for that moment I felt dizzy, and quickly checked my pulse. It was erratic, fast, and fluttery.  Afterwards I felt a bit off, nauseated, and a bit dizzy.  The moment passed.  I hope it doesn&amp;#039;t come back.  No idea what rhythm it was.  Hoping it isn&amp;#039;t a forecast of stormy weather.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Not directly related, but I had a one-off afib episode six months after my ablation two years ago. I also have very occasional tachycardia episodes with various triggers. What I&#039;ve found effective for me in both cases are short-term rhythm or rate control agents to calm my heart down after an episode. In the case of my afib episode I took daily Flecainide for a month after the episode. In the case of my tachycardia&#039;s, I take Diltiazem for &quot;x&quot; days or weeks after an episode to give my heart time to settle. I don&#039;t know if you&#039;ve had luck with any such medications, but if you did, you might use them temporarily now.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I would avoid the pseudoephedrine and related products as much as possible. They can cause some issues. Just having a cold can cause problems by itself. Try not to worry about it too much and continue on.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I wouldn&#039;t freak out about it, Megan....not yet.  You added something to your system, but you were already under duress from the cold/flu, and that wasn&#039;t just one night by then.  You were a bit light on sleep as well, feeling cruddy, distracted when you wanted to focus on your tasks....and then you added a stimulant that many AFers will tell you is a no-no. :S  You got a blip, it went away....and you&#039;ll almost certainly be fine.  I get the odd weirdness, now 28 months after my second ablation, but it&#039;s like a swelling, and then it goes away.  A good night&#039;s rest and you&#039;re right back in it. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I also went 7 months after my right sided flutter ablation. In my case I did have some VERY short episodes over the 7 months but NSR virtually anytime I checked.  Until I wasn&#039;t.  After 7 months I locked into flutter and afib persistent. If you had an arrhythmia that means the cells/tissue can produce that arrhythmia and from my understanding, like in my case that&#039;s not good.<br />

Hopefully yours is a one off but again you now know that it can happen and hopefully it doesn&#039;t progress.]]></description>
