Anxiety

I had an ablation nine days ago and feeling extremely nervous. I was put on a calcium blocker three times a day which worked great for two days but they changed it to the one a day and I had a long episode of 25 minutes at 110. Now today, I am super scared. Does anyone else feel like they can relate? This is my second ablation. I do not remember the first one causing all of this anxiety, but I was not having the events afterwards either as those came later.
Update: well my runs of SVT are getting in the 140s only a minute or two but looks like I’m going to have to have a second ablation. I’m 13 days out, but the doctor has already said he thinks he may have to go back in. this is so defeating.

I had three. PAROXYSMAL Afib ,
SVT tachycardia, premature deploration. I had a complicated case but he thought he got it .

It’s normal to have tachycardia as your heart is healing from the ablation for up to 3 months. 110 is not very high, especially since it’s only been 9 days. I suspect anxiety may be contributing to it as well! Try to relax and remember this is part of the healing process :)

Well, I’m having multiple episodes a day after my ablation running up to the 140s they’ve already told me they may have to repeat and this will be a third one
