What Causes Paralysis After Cardiac Ablation Procedure?
I recently had m 3rd cardiac ablation procedure that took 8 hours, in recovery the hospital staff tried to wake me but I was unresponsive. I could hear everthing around me but I was paralyzed in my own body. After several hours I started to regain my limbs and nuero deficits were gone. What might have happen to have caused this situation?

Hello,
I would explain that this situation could be caused by an overreaction to anesthetic drugs. There is no reason to panic. I would just recommend checking your liver and kidney function tests and performing a brain MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
