Ectopics after ablation

Shortly after my 2nd ablation (successful), I began noticing lots more ectopics, and they bothered me quite a bit. As time went by with no SVT, I paid less and less attention to the ectopics, often barely noticing them. Maybe you'll experience something like this. You might, too, keep reminding yourself that a healthy heart tolerates ectopics very well. I know you'll take the best of care of yourself, and I wish you well.

Yes it is normal i had them for like a year after, I had my ablation Nov 22 2017 . I still sometimes fell off beat but nothing like the first year after. The ablation really tore me down physically or i felt it did but at least my heart isn't getting stuck at 257 beats per minute any more. I was born with this and was misdiagnosed for over 34 years. I guess this could just be my age age at a norm just turning 50 yrs old. what i thought was normal was a heart beat at a minimal of 111 all the time.

yes these are ectopic beats (PVCs) that almost everybody is experiencing after ablation! I did my ablation in late march, 2019 & am still experiencing them almost on daily basis with good & bad days! VERY FRUSTRATING as I didn't have them before the procedure! From my research, it takes a while for the heart to fully heal after the ablation, but they do ease up after one year! Wish my doctor warned about them upfront; I wouldn't have done the ablation & stayed on medical therapy.. GOOD LUCK
