I had a angiogram done 3 weeks ago today. I had some issues with my artery in my groin as It wanted to contract on and off and the Dr was thinking he might have to put a stint in. After they were done when I was in recovery It started to bleed again so a male nurse had to apply hard very hard pressure on the site for a good 40 mins. I was amazed how hard he had to apply the pressure. It?s now been 3 weeks and there is a area in my groin that if I touch it its still very painful and if I bend forward and stand from a sitting position it hurts. Is this normal 3 weeks out. When I had a ablation done the same way I did not hurt like this, but I did not have the bleeding after. As i said above i cant even touch the area as it hurts just as bad as the day it was done.

Friday7 Thank you for the link yes mine got much worse after the ablation, i did not start to pass out until i had it done. I would sat that im 50% worse now. That is a great link with good info.

Hi Lieze My Ablation was about 2 ? years ago now, and I would say within days after I was still feeling the same. I do get the butterfly feeling you talking about at times but its more when I get the extra beats. When im getting the high heart rates it just fills really fast some times it can beat really hard and I have trouble breathing. I have also noticed that at times and I don?t know if this has anything to do with it or if it?s a coincidence but I couth after also but not every time. In fact last night I woke up 3 times coughing really hard and was not able to get my breath at all?very scary..

I did get a Bp montor for at home so i will start to cheek that. I have a Heart monitor implanted and when ever i got to the Dr for him to download it you can see where my heart has gone really fast and he will say at times ohh that's nothing its picking up back ground sounds or music. Im thinking hold on half the time my heart is running like crazy so all those cant be music. What does he think im doing hanging out in a club!! I go back and see him in 2 weeks and my husband has had it with him , i think this dr just has no idea and is just pulling idea's out his butt

Thank you everyone Its nice to talk to everyone who understand.. I did have the table tilt test and he said I was perfect the whole time. I need to clarify My heart rate gets high while both sleeping and both exercise. I have had it even go over 200 while asleep. Yesterday my husband was doing so yard work so I wanted to help, I fill so useless at times. So I thought I would move the small brink that were in the shade. After moving maybe 5 and mind you im not moving im just throwing them my heart just start racing so quick and I cant breath that good. I guess the best way to describe it is you cant take a full breath in. Also I was feeling the extra beats starting to kick in, I just hate that feeling.

Thank you for your responses it helps so much, I did have a ultrasound done about 5 years ago and was told I had MVP. This new Dr did a Ultrasound and said I don?t have MVP ! and that my heart looks great !!. He did do the tilt Table test and every thing was great and he said my blood pressure was great. In fact I have never had a Dr tell me that there was something wrong with it ever. This current heart Dr and the past one did have me on a couple different Beta Blockers but I was still having problems. I had no clue there are 2 kinds of Pots, he never told me so I have no idea, I do know he did say it had to do with blood pressure as he kept saying I had to watch that and make sure I drink a lot and watch my salt in take. But once again I have never had a problem with my blood pressure. If any one can point me in the Direction of a specialist that would be great in in Southern California.

I?m not sure if im in the right place , im at a loss and just need some help and hope you can relate. I started having heart problems now about 7 years ago when I notice my heart racing. Long story short after wearing the 72 hr heart monitor the DR found out my heart rate went up to almost 300 bpm. I went to one Heart Dr who told me it was a problem with a value and gave my blood thinners, it never fixed it. It just got worse. Skip some months back to the Family Dr as im feeling bad again and she wants to send me to another Heart specialist who wants to do a Heart ablation and tells me it will fix everything as this is common in a lady my age ( young 30?s). I was told that right after surgery I will be 100% . I went in for the ablation and not even 72 hr later my heart is still racing and im feeling extra beats and fluttering, which I was also feeling before ( sorry forgot the add that). I left it a couple months thinking that maybe my body just needs to adjust. Well I started to notice that im tired all the time now and if I climb stairs or do light activity as simple as vacuum im puffed out and my heart is going like a ran a 10k run. I went back to the heart Dr who did my ablation and he didn?t really seem to care and said that I should try to relax!. Well tings went really bad from there, I started getting really dizzy and passing out. My husband has come home and found me passed out or has found me on my knees as im bout to pass out. Sometimes I know right before and other times I had no idea. But I would know right before my heart would race and also beat hard. . I have had EKG?s done that show irregular heart beats and a high heart rate . If I walk a fast pace on a tread mill within say 30 sec?s my heart will be over 180 and im only 35. My husband just got a stationary bike and I was trying to use it the other night very slow and within 1 min?s my heart was at 198 so I did stop straights away and I was very dizzy.. My current heart Dr says he thinks I have Potts, I have a internal heart monitor implanted at the moment . I get very bad chest pains, that do go down my left arm. I get pain in my jaw also at times, at times I lay in bed and cant sleep as its so bad and I wonder if im going to wake up. I?m very worried about this. My DR seems very good but on the other hard , I worry am I putting to much trust in him?? I just got a Polar watch so that I can monitor my heart more, in hopes to keep the passing out limited. I just fill so helpless as im so tired all the times some days are worse than others and I cant do the most simple thins it seems. I used to love going out and shopping these days just a simple store trip makes me sooo tired. On my last visit the DR said my monitor picked up that while sleeping my heart went up to 198 bpm I called me DR 2 weeks ago to tell him I cant handle the pain anymore and that im getting dizzy and out off breath really bad. He tells me.. Do you think it might be stomach acid or arthritis ? Uhhh that got me so mad when he has seen how high my heart gets. Does anyone have any advice for me, I done know any one who has this?
