Hi, I am 13 days out now. for the first week my resting rate was about 8 to 10 beats higher than what I was and then the last 5 or 6 days it is slower by 4 or 5 beats per minute. I am still on 50mg Toprol while recovering. I was on the Toprol 50mg and my resting rate was pretty low at about 52. Now I am dipping down to 47 range at rest, I also notice with cardio my rate used to get up to 127 range when pushing it now I get up to about 120 with same effort. I did go back in and get a EKG today which was normal. Has anyone noticed different heart rates after there ablation and if so is it permanent or does it go back to pre ablation levels. Also to add I felt a little tired on Toprol and sometimes light headed and that is about the same now not worse just the pulse is slightly lower. I know I should lower the dose or get over it and go to another Blood Pressure Med but I am also still have fear that the svt will come back, which is all mental hopefully. Thanks
