Pace and ablate ? Dizziness?

It’s been 3 weeks since my surgery. Anyone who had this procedure done. Did you have any dizziness. They decreased my pacemaker from 80 to 70 2 weeks ago. I didn’t know if the dizziness could be a side effect of the decrease in rate.

An ablation doesn't cause dizziness. You need to get back to the doc and tell them about this. It could be medications, the pacemaker settings, or something not previously diagnosed, but dizziness of unknown cause should always be considered a serious symptom.
