A member asked:

Can you tell me about post cardiac ablation, chest pain, arm numb?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal post ablation: Often, you may experience some mild chest discomfort after ablation. Ablation involves destruction of heart tissue, most often using radiofrequency energy converted to heat. The arm soreness may be due to the position in which you had to remain on the procedure table during the electrophysiology study & ablation. These symptoms often resolve over a few days after the procedure.
