hi all,

i had an ablation for AVNRT in April 2017 which was successful, since then I've only had a couple of flutters and skipped beats.

Recently ive started feeling a lot of flutters and skipped beats and im scared SVT is back.

Before the ablation my life was ruined by SVT as i had debilitating anxiety and lost my partner and my job as i thought i would die.

i am terrified its coming back,

are there others that have had the ablation ans get flutters and skipped beats?

I have been quite stressed lately and feeling rather anxious, I dont want to start goin to the doctors as when they say im fine i dont believe them and it gets out of control. (SVT went undiagnosed for 16 months and i was told it was all anxiety, hence why i am reluctant)

please if anyone has any kind words to put my mind at ease, i would be ever so greatful, thank you, Amy

    I really think it would rest your mind if you got a holter monitior. That way if there is an issue you can have that taken care of.

    Being on different forums, I have read that sometimes a pathway can regrow and generate svt. I have read that some get AF after. You are 2 and more post from you ablation, so it could be just some palpitations. Many complain about having palpitation/flutter after ablation They are not pleasant, I know that. I get flutters when my stomach is acting up especially if I am bloated and full of gas.

    I also had my ablation on Nov of 2017 and yes every now and then i get flutters and skipped beats more when im stressed out though. it was worse after the first years but got better over time. I know that some people have had more than 1 ablation because they came back. I was also misdiagnosed for over 30 years . so I know how it feels . Recently i have found that when mine gets out of beat and flutters it helps if i relax breath through it then take a cbd gummie or cbd mint. because we have been through the worst with the svt mine was at 257 beats per minute. it scares us into a panic. I take a cbd 10 mg mint called sleep every night and it helps. i refuse to get back any pharmacy sleep med again they had me on trazadone for years. try my methods and see if they help.
