3 weeks after cardiac ablation my life is hell. My days consist of PVC’s and PAC’s allllllll day long they make me feel horrible and I have small runs of SVT. I have the SVT PVC and PAC on an ekg I follow up with my cardiologist tomorrow. But has anyone had this after an ablation ?!? It’s all day long! Can they fix this after an ablation?

    Cp, I’ve never had an ablation but I sure hope your cardio Dr can help you with these events tomorrow ...it could all be normal and short lived, hang in there. I’m sure others here who’ve had ablations can be of help.

    The doctor may want to give you some medication but this is normal after ablation. The heart has been invaded and the SVT fixed, so it takes a good 3 months for the heart to heal. As the heart heals those epusilodes should get less and less.

      Did you still go into SVT after your ablation I had one bad episode where I needed adenosine. My problem is that I will have multiple PVC’s in a row then my heart goes extremely fast not positive but I will call it SVT and this will go on for hours.

      Yes, I did. It takes approximately 3 months for the heart to completely heal.

    saw my cardiologist last week he told me the risks involved...so a NO from me! will stick with metoprolol to deal with my SVT. the risks he said were damage to blood vessels, hole in my heart, node can fail completely then would need a pacemaker and he said no guarantee it can be fixed, 95% chance of success, said I may need 2 or more ablations. I'm not a risk taker, never bet on anything, don't bet on horses, bingo, lotteries. so no! been on metoprolol the last  2 months very few episodes and when I get them they don't last long and they're very slow. I'm still restricted with what I can eat trying to avoid the triggers, stick with your beta blockers atleast that is 100% successful

      There are risks to any procedure. If you aren’t comfortable then you shouldn’t have it done. I’m glad I had mine. It was so very uncomfortable for me and greatly interfering with my life. I was told the same risks. It’s like if we read the risks to the medicines we take, we would never take the medication.

    Just an update I saw my cardiologist I was in SVT in the office my doc said he needed to do another urgent ablation so I will be having one Thursday. I am on metoprolol until the procedure but it doesn’t even faze it. I can go in and out of SVT every 3-5 minutes for hours! I’m exhausted I hope the second time’s a charm.

    I just finished posting in another SVT forum how important Chamomie Tea has been in my SVT practical cure! I needed ablation as well. Last year or about year and a half i was taken by recue due to my worst SVT episode.. they wanted me to see a specialist for scheduling an ablation as soon as i was discharged but i feared it so much that i read and read and i thought i would give chamomile a try.. Needless to say it saved me from my SVT episodes until today! I have had none! Again i dont have any coffee or any alcohol and try to have a low salt diet as much as i can. I do love sweets but try to keep to as few as possible. I have the tea minimum 3 times a day.. after each meal and sometimes before heading to bed. It relaxes and calms.. mayb thats why it calms the heart muscles.. idk but it truly has been a blessing to me abd want anyone with SVT to give it a try! I buy only ones with Chamomile as the sole ingredient..very important!  I buy Twinings Pure Chamomile light blue box.. good luck to all!
