After ablation question, more below 👇🏻

Luckily for me my ablation for svt in 2014 was very successful and have suffered no relapse since. However, having read the above I am reminded of several occasions when I thought svt was going to start again. I started to feel tense and anxious around my upper chest area but no actual pain or disturbed rhythm. This lasted for roughly a minute and when I experienced it I always felt this was svt returning, but it never did and this tense feeling just subsided and went away. Lucky me!

I had my ablation in 2016.. since then I occassionally have the extra beats that would signal it starting but it doesn't... makes me feel very anxious when it happens but I have never had a full episode since the ablation.

Thanks for the answers! For me it was like one after another skipped beats. It felt wonky.

after my ablation in February, 2019 I have experienced lot of skip beats. It was frequent before, but now it seems less frequent.

after ablation i had lots of ectopics and flutters, even short runs of SVT (seconds)

Eventually they just faded and I was much better!

Currently having some ectopics again but generally dont feel the "SVT starting"

as this is a ectopic followed by fast beats, which generally doesnt happen with ectopics.

Hope you feel better!

My experiences post ablation have been much like those of your other respondents, Dominika. My health care people helped me by telling me that such stuff is normal and nearly always insignificant. I've recently been able to nearly completely ignore those obnoxious beats. I'm hoping you'll soon reach that point, too. Take care.

Thanks! I'm having a hard time today. My period is due tomorrow and today I'm having lots of ectopics, and even had bigeminy or trigeminy. Every few beats were skipped beats. It's so scary, every time I feel them I'm afraid that my heart will not go back to normal rhythm. I'm still on 23.75mg metoprolol a day.

my ablation was on Nov 2019 and doctor said it was successful although during the procedure on the last attempt to trigger the svt i felt it still came up. its been 3 months and my svt doesnt come back. i used to have it every 2 or 3 months and become more frequent like every 3 weeks. after ablation, i felt i became so easy to get tired and sometimes get shortness of breath too after activities. but the most unpleasant moment was when i felt my heart was beat unnormally like svt ws going to start but it didnt. and sometimes there are short pain in my heart for maybe 1 second only, like is was hit by something. there are days when i dont feel this symptom, but another days i can feel it several times a day. it was scary when it happened because i was scared the svt going to start again but it didnt. now i am on nebivolol medication, its for my slight hypertension and to slower my rapid heartbeat (more than 100 bpm when i dont take nebivolol). so i think we feel the same way and hope we can get better time after time

To Liusi19696. The short sharp pain in your heart area is one which experienced pre and post ablation. I too thought it was something serious but apparently it is fairly common and connected to nerves in the chest. I has been described like a flash of lightning, there and gone. So in the absence of any other symptoms I suggest it's nothing to worry about, but I'm not a doctor. Regarding your strange feelings post ablation when you feel your heart may be going to go into svt again, this is also something I experienced but after about three months it wore off and now I appear to be free of svt. My ablation was in December 2014.
