Just had this done yesterday morning 8/24/24. I had 1 done in 2019 after a completely separate medical procedures was done ( hernia) and my intestines were inadvertently punctured. I went into organ failure and the entire affair caused some lingering medical problems (including my heart )that required wound care and repeated medical procedures for a year plus after. I had the cath done and ended up needing a quadruple bi-pass. The teams of doctors that got me through this ( not any of the original participants) were absolutely remarkable, and dedicated, professionals I owe my life to. However, the damage was done. I will return next Friday ( 08/31 ) to repeat the catheter and have 2 stints put in. Yesterday entry site ( Groin) is tender and bruised but not beyond expectation. I have learned to follow the instructions but at the same time, get on with life. Most patient complaints stem from stubbornness, ignorance or simply not following instructions. Having been through this procedure actually 3 times now, I will take one every Thursday rather than have to repeat the open heart bi-pass procedure.
I’ve been through several of these procedures including an ablation and 2 stents in LAD and Left Circumflex artery. I never had a problem recovering from the procedure. They didn’t make me feel 10 years younger but I’m still here!!
Had my Heart Attack and had the stent put in on 8/24/24, I was amazed at how easy it was, I was back at work in 2 days, and I am back on treadmill, which I love!
Just had this done 2 days ago still sitting here on my hospital bed. I was really uncomfortable during the procedure but I’m feeling fine. Thank you Jesus and Dr. Clara Tolentino, electrophysiologist at St. Luke’s Medical City Philippine and her team🙏 They did such a great job!
@@sharongholson5818 I felt normal right after the procedure…no pain at all except back pain from lying in bed for hours during the procedure. I left Philippine a week after. Thank you Jesus!🙏
@@amberj6760 I’m so sorry I meant to reply to you but somehow I forgot. Here I am 1 year later I feel fine hasn’t had the palpitations since the procedure. The miserable part was the length of the procedure that caused back pain🙂 if you had to go through this procedure please don’t worry you would be fine🙏
I'm home after being released yesterday, cath ablation done day before that. I can stand in place ok, but just going to the kitchen makes my heart say, "YO! Slow down fool!" LOL :)
It's been 3 days I still have chest pains I am sore and omg the exhaustion is so unreal they make it sound like you will be back to normal in no time but now I'm hearing from Freund's in med field that it's closer to a month to recoup , it's a serious procedure they fiddled with your heart out stuff where it naturally shouldn't have been yes you are going to feel it for a while. I hope everyone feels better real soon heating pads helped me get some kind of relief from soreness. They had to go through both my wrists . Can't use my hands much at all but it's getting better. I made sure my doc knew I was against groin my mom had it done and she was in horrible pain couldn't walk at all after got infection couldn't pee without pain nope I rather both my hands then the groin I listened to my ma god rest her soul heart disease took her from us , runs in the family I'm 45 and I'm trying anything to keep me here for my kids so I let them do this so they can 100 see all the issues with my heart and know how to treat it , absolutely worth the pain .
I had it done on 8/19/24 and I feel terrible .my groin got very swollen and in pain .my breathing is so bad I'm 42 yrs old and I can not move like I did before ablation .i feel like I did somthing wrong but I pray I'll be back to normal
I had mine with stents put in this last Thursday, but I still have chest pains especially when I breathe. I'm heading to cardiology tomorrow to get something for the pain.
day 7 and i was out moving snow over a foot deep . 50 foot long up hill 5 feet 12 foot wide . every time i get out of breath i take a few minute breather . we get a snow like this every few years , no need to buy a snow blower it be gone in 3 to 5 days. i had things to tend to had to get the truck out 2 wheel drive no need for 4x4 never thought i have a heart attack age 60, 2 stents on the 27th Jan 2022. blizzard Feb 3ed 2022 .
On these types of videos a common talking point is to not to go up or down stairs. But what's a person to do if the bathroom is on the 2nd floor as is the bedroom, while the livingroom is downstairs? Is it ok to go up or down if one moves slowly? Or what about sitting on a stop and bumming your way up or down?
Will be 2 years this December 3rd, stent in through my wrist LAD 99% blockage however it seems the clot traveled to my lungs and was sent home after 5 days to recover. 3 weeks later followup lungs infected with pneumonia and badly clotted could barely breathe when standing, immediately put in the hospital for 11 days on oxygen the whole time and taking three different anticoagulants and antibiotics.
I just had this procedure done last Tuesday. Had it done through the wrist. Because of my history of having vageling during IV insertion, the staff sedidated me before the procedure and I was in lala land during the procedure, recovery was about 4 hours, and post recovery this past week has been non eventfull.
I just had it done thru the groin today and it's horrible ...hard to walk to the restroom...I definitely need assistance...they make these procedures sound so simple...geez I hope I can recover from this soon!
you prolly dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of months :)
@fernandogauna8923 I'm okay now, I did get night time arrythmia but all cleared up, I think the heart is very erratic for a few weeks after, all normal I understand
I can walk fast on the treadmill for 10+ minutes and then they take me off because my heart won't come up to speed. But then they say my test was abnormal. I can push mow my grass for 1 hour and no problems. Why am I not dead if it was abnormal?
@@daisyvega940 the pain, swelling & bruising has went down alot. Its still kinda hard to move but its healing good now.. Speedy recovery for you. Put ice on it. I know its gonna be cold. But put it on there here n there. It helps out alot.
@@Fortnitefan111YT I'm almost 3 weeks out. & i get so tired so quickly. I have to take breaks now. I never had to before, and back hurts more then usual. Smh

What happened when you went back?
Maybe you need so Nitro pills for chest pain.
@jamilgotcher365 that's what my doctor gave me for pain
Great advise. Thank you

@@markbarone5810 it went ok, just got a limpiar and bruise at the aite but im ok how are you
I had this done two days ago, and my thigh hurts like I 've had my thigh smashed by a hammer. Is that normal???
Did u have surgery through ur groin.if so l heard that is more painful
I just had it done thru the groin today and it's horrible ...hard to walk to the restroom...I definitely need assistance...they make these procedures sound so simple...geez I hope I can recover from this soon!
I’m getting this tomorrow
Good luck just had mine today and came home 6 hours later. Don't know how I'm supposed to sleep tonight though since I sleep on my side lol
I am 4 days post ablation and have low heart rate of 38 with itratuc heart beats, but hope it settles.
you prolly dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of months :)
@Pedro Dylan Yup, been using instaflixxer for years myself :)
Sounds like you need to see your Doctor a.s.a.p. That is not good!
How are you doing now? I had the same thing happen to me
@fernandogauna8923 I'm okay now, I did get night time arrythmia but all cleared up, I think the heart is very erratic for a few weeks after, all normal I understand
I just had 2days before im okay just feel so tired and not so comfort but no pain
When do u take the bandages off your arm at the site where they did the cath
My arm like tree trunk and arm sore iits been 6 days
Is it suppose to burn? Im on my 3rd day.
I’m not looking forward to not being able to bathe!
Did you die or what?
I can walk fast on the treadmill for 10+ minutes and then they take me off because my heart won't come up to speed. But then they say my test was abnormal. I can push mow my grass for 1 hour and no problems. Why am I not dead if it was abnormal?
same here
Because the hospital and doctors don't have all your money yet.
