Question: Hello, I am a 71 yr old male who had an ablation Feb 14. I was in A-Fib for two years or longer and also had a Cardioversion in 2011 that lasted only for several months. I had a TEE in October that discovered a blood clot but I had some complications and my electrophysiologist avoided that procedure with a study on Feb 14 and there was not a clot.
I don't feel as though I am recovering from the ablation after 5 days. I am not privy to the normal turnaround from something as this. I have developed a low grade cough that is persistent but not extreme. However this cough is accompanied with a head ache that is also troublesome. Also all my medications have warnings of drowsiness and dizziness of which I already was suffering from and have warnings not to drive, which is my job. I am on Sucralfate 1gm, Propafenone 150 mg, Pantoprazole 40 mg, warfarin sod 5mg, benazepril 10mg, carvedilol 6.975, simvastin 20 mg, furosemide 40 mg,spironolactone,25 mg. I am wondering if these combinations of medications are contributing to my dizziness and lack to energy. I absolutely drag my self from room to room. And that can't be normal
There are other symptoms I did not have before the ablation. I am suffering with painful urination. The urinary catheter did a job on me and I have not been able to get back to normal urination without an accident. This was not prevalent before this procedure. So I am reluctant to drink fluids, and also have a dry mouth. And finally my sleep pattern is not good either.

I know this a long list. If you can shed any lite on it I would appreciate is.
Thank you,
XXXXXXX
