After Ablation In January And CHF With Preserved EF Diagnosis In July, I Have Constant Chest Pressure And Slight SOB. Is This Normal?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Eau Claire, WI

Ablation was for Afib and things didn’t quite seem right afterwards. CHF was diagnosed at the end of July and have had constant chest pressure since being put on all kinds of meds. In fact, the chest pressure is worse since I was put on all the meds. Guess I’m wondering if things will keep getting worse or if I can expect some relief from the uncomfortable pressure in my chest.
