Cardioversion

Had cardioversion this afternoon and it seem to do the trick with flutter.at first and they resent PM then they sent me home.Now I am home and heart rate seems to go from 75 to 110 and back with no apparent reason,however no other side effects. I called in to duty Doctor and he had me check blood pressure,it is okay 130/85.He said the treatment sometimes takes a bit for heart to
adjust and see how it goes until tomorrow and call in - again no feelings of faint etc. Has anyone had similar experience.Thanks --

My first Cardioversion lasted 4 hrs, 2nd one 2 days, then a month later went in to be cardioverted but went back into regular rythem 2 days before apt. The meds need time to work better. You might need a little more time. GL.

Thank you for the comments - I guess I just do not know what to expect. I thought maybe a zap and an adjustment of PM would do the trick. It looks like maybe I just want instant good results. The thing is I had a second degree block without daytime symptoms and seemed to be okay and active. However,at night pulse would drop to 20 per Holter,so I guess just play the cards I am dealt and be glad they found problem.
