Reoccurence of new type of arrythmia after ablation

I would recommend you go see your cardiologist as soon as you can.

I have had 3 attempted ablations but have never gotten ablated.   i have read in the FB SVT closed groups, that pwople that have had an ablation for one certain type, have then had a different one pop up.  Maybe you should visit your EP, and get a holter monitor for a couple of days.   That will tell the story    

Hi Eirik,  I’m a 42 year old male, healthy, fit, no alcohol/caffeine/etc.  just had Ablation for accessory pathway ablation 2 weeks ago and I’ve had several mild Tachycardia episodes.  Thank god for Teladoc as it saved me a trip to the ED, day 1 out of ablation.  Cardiologists nurse, PA and Teladoc Dr. all echoed the same thing that it can take a little bit for the heart to fully heal and stay in regular rhythms.  Although your 4 months out which seems like you should be healed at this point.  However, the one observation I noticed from your writing is the worry.  I know that I’ve been dealing with intense anxiety/worry/fear before and even after my Ablation.  Wondering if I’m going to have a stroke because the punctured septum, wondering if my heart is stro enough to have tachy because they did three ablations in L atrium.  Long story short, going through SVTS then ablation was pretty traumatic for me.  I wonder, do you feel consumed with worry a lot since your ablation?  Have you done any talk therapy? (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy, etc) mediation, prayer etc?  I would agree with Linda that you should go visit your cardiologist to get clarity and peace of mind.  I know my response can’t answrt your question directly as I’m only two weeks out.  I hope you get some closure and clarity though as I can sympathize with your fears and disruption of daily life.

Hi Eirik,

I have battled with AF and flutter for about 10 years.  I have had 4 ablations and many cardioversions.  In my experience everyone is different.  Yours may settled down after a bit longer.  I know some people have one ablation and everything is perfect.  In my case it was for a while but as I get older (70 now) the heart can deteriorate. In the meantime as long as you are on blood thinners and perhaps you could be given a beta blocker like metoprolol (to slow the rate down)  you will not die or have a stroke.  Its just a real nuisance. I would talk to the EP and they can check how bad it is.  You can even have a heart monitor put in to give accurate records of your heart's performance or wear a halter monitor for 24 hrs.  If it does not settle you can always have another ablation but you can only have a limited number of these.  I also purchased a blood pressure machine that tells me my heart rate.  It should not be too high somewhere between 50 and 90 I would suggest. Obviously I am not a doctor but I have had a lot of experience it is very hard accepting you have an abnormal heart rhythm. You can also practise mindfulness and take supplements such as fish oil and magnesium.  Generally I have found adrenaline brings it on such as heavy exercise or strong emotions.  Good luck
