A member asked:

What do the experts think, should my physical fatigue go away after the av node ablation procedure with pacemaker?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Fatigue: If you're having av node ablation for a tachycardia which is causing the symptom of fatigue; then it is possible the fatigue will remit with resolution of the tachycardia.

Av node: You probably have atrial fibrillation with rapid conduction down the av node, which can lead to symptoms
