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.

Help

I had an ablation four days ago. My events are getting higher, but they are short under two minutes. They are not a fib, but SVT tachycardia.
The electrophysiologist wants to put me on FLECAINIDE but that did not work after my first ablation. It also constipated me very badly.
If anyone can offer me, any advice, I would appreciate it as I am so depressed. Day two I only went to 127 day three 112 and now I’m hitting the 160s again thank you very much.

Ablation.

This is my second ablation and four days out. I’ve had two episodes today. Both very quick but one was 163 and the other one was 148. They are putting me on FLECAINIDE.
Has anyone else had issues after their ablation?
I’m so scared since this is the second one that I will never be fixed.
Thank you all so very much

I had an ablation, but kept having multiple events of SVT tachycardia throughout the day. After beta blockers did not agree with me I was told to take an extra Flecainide if I needed it. I had an event that was 15 minutes so I took one. That day I had my longest event of 23 minutes and felt very bad. Stomach issues, migraine and just overall nervousness.
I asked my husband to stay home and work from home the next day because I didn’t feel good and I landed up in the ER with my longest episode which was an hour at 134 beats. I put two and two together and figured out it was the Fleka.
Since going off a bit, I have become better and better. I do still have one or two episodes a day, which are under 60 seconds
I’ve been off of it now for two weeks and wondering if my body will still be recalibrating off of it
Any help is greatly appreciated as I have a second ablation or EP study on May 14 and I don’t think I need it as clearly, the drug was causing most of my issues.
