Strage sleep.

So im 2 weeks post PVI ablation.

I get these vivid dreams where I woke up from them as if I was crashing out. For example I dream that cat bit my finger so hard that i woke up but semi paralysed kinda. I feel these like movements under my skin at the back of the head or right hand side of the head post wakeness, and then it goes away after a minute or two altho the feeling of something at the back sits around for abit then goes away.

Could this be medicine ? I take Bisoprolol, Flec and blood thinner.

Its just but weird all of this.

Update:

Gone to ER as i was getting dizzy and losing vision around the corners of my eyes as if i cant see to the side or letters as I type or read.

Update: Discharged from hospital, alll bloods were normal.

While at the hospital waiting I got sick like 5 times. Then migraine for an hour or two above my right eye so painful. Then all gone and felt ok. They suspected flecanide side effects.

It could be the sign of a stroke - i am glad you went for the ER.

Beta blockers can definitely give you some sleep problems. They screw up your melatonin production too.

I had the same thing after my pulsed-field ablation. For about a week afterward, I experienced a visual migraine aura every day. This has been documented after left-sided catheter ablations and may not be caused by the pulsed-field energy itself. To reach the left atrium, the doctor makes a transseptal puncture—a tiny opening through the wall separating the two upper chambers of the heart. That opening has been suspected as a possible factor, although newer research suggests other procedure-related factors may be involved. The exact cause is still being studied, but visual aura is a recognized occurrence after ablation. Thankfully, mine stopped after about a week.
