What Causes Dizziness And Tingling In The Numb After A Cardiac Ablation?

I have A Fib. I had a cardiac ablation. The procedure should have taken 4 hours. It took my Dr. 7 and 1/2 hours and he told me he could only do 3, as one part was too close to my wind pipe and he did not want to chance nicking it. I am currently taking Metoprolol, Tikosin, and Digoxin. I am experiencing A Fib off and on, dizziness, tingling in my left thumb and forefinger, and occasional heartburn. What could be causing these symptoms?

Hello,

These are due to atrial fibrillation. As you are on drug already, just cut down on coffee, tea and alcohol or you will have to adjust the drugs. Also, consult your cardiologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
