Did Anyone Who Has Had An Ablation Have Pericarditis And/or Pleuritis Afterward? And If So, How Long Did It Last?

I had the ablation a week ago and still have unrelenting chest pain that is worse inhalation. Ibuprofen and Percocet don’t help.

After 6 months of over testing and inaction I met with a new cardiologist. Three months later had a successful Ablation. If you have any doubt, look at alternatives.

I had an ablation in May. Felt good that day & no Afib or complications since. I’d check with your doctor and consider a second opinion.

I’m not doing this again. Too many issues and not enough gain. However was looking into the minimaze procedure. More invasive but better results. So if doesn’t improve, will look into that. There are a lot of options for Afib they don’t tell you about. Thanks for your input.
