Suggest Remedy For Body Pain After Cardioversion Procedure
Question: I had electro cardioconversion yesterday. Last night felt like flu with body aches. Today woke up hardly able to move. Bad pain in right buttocks up to waist and lower back. Did I get shocked off the table? Is it common to have bodyaches after this procedure?
Brief Answer:
Following advice.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
You have been on atrial fibrillation for at least 4 days, which increase the risk for developing complications after the Cardioversion procedure.
Body pain and especially chest are pain is a common complication after cardioversion that will persist for a couple of days. I would like to suggest using NSAID (advil) or tramadol to relieve your pain.
If the pain will persist after a week you should contact your cardiologist.
Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
