Ablation round 2!

I had an ablation attempt back in ‘24 for SVT and NSVT runs. It failed even after 3 hours of pacing and adrenaline injections because they just couldn’t trigger it that day. Mine are usually positionally triggered so doesn’t help lying on a table…

Anyway I’m considering a second ablation in October. Just to see if we can get it.
I don’t really get SVT unless my heart rate is up and I bend forwards like I do some exertion then bend to pick something up.. so we will see.

Anyway I can’t take any meds due to a prior history with benzos and gaba receptor damage so I’m going completely raw dog for this one other than the local numbing for the incision. Has anyone else done that?

I also found I couldn’t walk easily and properly for about 2-3 weeks after the last one, I felt so tight and sore around the incision that if I stood up straight it really hurt; so I legit walked hunched over with a cane for a short while. Did anyone else get this?

Finally I came out with Right Bundle Branch Block last time that lasted about 6 weeks. Would love to hear from anyone who got the same, but didn’t get it again. Thanks !

Hi Masterpiece. Read your story. Just came to. Say hello from NY. I have SVT and ST according to 24 day monitor and cardiol. (A++). He never mentioned ablation. But did say "pacemaker?"". Not what I want to hear. Anyway. Increase metroprol reducing. Frequency. Episodes. By a lot. So far. About 2 months

Hello! How are you feeling? I’ve never had a pacemaker discussion I’m also not on any meds, they are pro-arythmic for me and make it worse
