For those who have had ablations over 3 to 6 months ago,what are your experiences with aerobic excersise before and after ablation? I`m having problems with aerobic activity.I can do things like work with weights and other physical activities but most times I`m on a treadmill,riding a bike or walking at a brisk pace I`m feeling extremely dizzy.I`ve tried adjusting meds with no luck.While on the Nordic track today my BPM were up to 120 at what I would consider a moderate pace.I have read about elevated HR after ablation and I think I`m one of those stats.Never abnormal beating while working out,just faster than before....Any feedback would help...Just for an update,I`m still on 50 MG of Toprol and a baby aspirin each day.My ablation was in the middle of August...Sammy https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,606,606#msg-606 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 15:07:17 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,606,613#msg-613 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,606,613#msg-613
I too am experiencing a resting rate of about "106ish" as the Clinic just told me via the little monitor they gave me to take home aftedr ablation on Aug.4. This tech just told me it's not tachycardia until it reaches 120. My regular EP had told me 100. I had two pacs, tech said. I guess if I want to stay lower I have to go back on Atenolol. But I wonder what the loong term effect of that is. Guess nothing in this world is perfect.

Wondering too,

As Mike said, give it time. My cardiologist told me that the heart is like any other part of your body, if you break a bone, it might be knitted back together in 6 weeks or so, but it isn't done healing for a long time after that. Good luck

FWIW, I've read MANY times of recent ablationees having elevated HRs for 3-6 months after ablation. Give it time my friend, go steady with the workouts for the time being, and don't let it the elevated HR stress you out!

Best wishes,
