Thanks to Carey and Jeff W. I did try stopping the statin for 2 weeks and I don't think it has made a lot of difference so I'm resuming it. My fatigue may have to do with the digestive problems I've also developed. I'm really hoping my heart function was not compromised by the ablation (though even if it was I don't regret the ablation: life was much worse beforehand.)by MargeW - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks for replying. The fatigue doesn't coincide with SVTs; it lasts much longer. And I'm confident that I'm not having long bouts of aflutter during the day, since I can normally feel it. But it's possible, I guess, that I'm experiencing flutter when I'm asleep and am then fatigued the day after.by MargeW - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks for responding. The SVTs are confirmed by a 2-week monitor, but I don't know where in the heart the flutter originates. It was detected before the ablation, but I never previously had long runs of it as I have recently. Yes, I've been taking statins for years with no problems.by MargeW - AFIBBERS FORUM
I am 9 months post-ablation (a quite extensive one) and although I am no longer in afib (hallelujah!) I now have fairly frequent short SVTs, and have had two episodes of aflutter requiring cardioversion. I'm scheduled for a second ablation to deal with the flutter and SVTs, and meanwhile am trying to get as fit as possible by going for daily 30 minute walks. What concerns me is the level oby MargeW - AFIBBERS FORUM
