What Is The Recovery Time Post A Cardiac Ablation?

I am 67 year old male. Have been in arrhythmias for 15 years and just had an ablation March 1st. They did 42 burns which seemed like a lot. I was under anesthesia for 10 hours and gained 13 lbs of fluid during the procedure. I was release at noon the next day and am having a really bad recovery. They got blood in my lungs during the TEE and I have lost my voice from constant coughing up blood clots the last few days. I m a patient guy (so to speak) but COME on. That can t be right. Can anyone give comments about recovery time from cardiac ablation? Thanks so much in advance.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the symptoms after the procedure then it may take few days else the arrhythmia corrected after the procedure very soon or immediately, hope this information helps.
