It will take a couple days for the anethesia, dyes, etc to clear from your body. Feeling dizzy and lethargic is to be expected. Normally, the heart rate goes up after an PVA procedure. I'm pleasantly surprised that yours didn't. It took my heart many months to get back to its normal 55-60 bpm. It was 70-75 bpm after the procedure.

You will quickly feel better each day over the next two weeks and don't worry if you still have some palpitations. They should stopi in a month or so after the scar tissue has formed.

I'm sorry you had a rough time of it. I was very fortunate. My procedure was a piece of cake - especially compared to yours.

If you have any questions, please contact me. I can email my phone number to you.

FYI, my thrill for today was celebrating my 60th birthday by getting knocked off my bike by a dog. Fortunately, I escaped with minor scrapes and bruises. I can't believe I wasn't seriously hurt.

Take care and keep us posted on your recovery.
