Daffie, I was supposed to have an EP study with an ablation a few years back. I was having wide-complex tachycardia when I exercised. I had to have the study/ablation without sedation because my cardiologist figured I wouldn't have the arrhythmia for him to map it if I was sedated. Even without sedation, it was not an unpleasant or difficult procedure.
I ended up not having an ablation during the study because the doc had a eureka moment in the middle of it and we got it all figured out. However, my recovery was the same as if I'd had the ablation.
I was back to normal very quickly. Your doc will of course have restrictions for you. I abided by my restrictions, mostly; I just can't remember how long they were, but it wasn't super long, just a couple weeks or so. My energy was fine. I took a long walk in the mountains with my husband the next day... a gentle walk, nothing strenuous, but I felt well. No repercussions really.
Of course, you will likely be sedated, which I was not. That may take a couple days to work out of your system entirely.
I wish you the very best! I suspect you will feel BETTER once you recover!
