AV node ablation

Hi
I am new to this club and wanted to know if anyone has had an AV node ablation and had complications such as heart failure.
Since I had the ablation in early Dec 2013, I can't walk any distance without feeling pressure in my chest and neck and shortness of breath. If I don't stop and rest then I also have chest pain. I'm talking walking maybe 20-30 feet. My EP which I have not seen since the ablation wants me to have a 2nd opinion and is sending me to the Heart Failure Clinic. My regular cardiologist just blew me off and he caused my to be denied my long term disability. I am 57 years old and feel like I'm 100.

Please if anyone can help me understand this better I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Cindi

Cindi,
you have posted this question four times within the past 20 days. Several people, including me, have commented on your questions. I am not sure what you are expecting to hear. Apparently, no one here has provided the answers you are seeking, yet. I'm quite sure that it does not help to keep asking the same question over and over again. I'd suggest that you wait for your appointment at heart failure clinic, and see what the docs there say.
Good luck!

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!
