Throughout my adult life i had symptoms including dizziness that was also misdiagnosed. I wasn't diagnosed with WPW until I was 50. I was lucky to have an incident that led to a cardi...
Why do we get irregular heartbeats after an ablation?
Nov 01, 2012 in the Heart Rhythm Community - 3
Thank you both. Your replies are helpful. I am going to try and get copies of my cardiology note so that I have a better understanding of my condition. I don't even know how many burns my ablation took, or much about my accessory pathway except that it was on the left side of my left atria. The irregular beats that I'm having are not anew fe...

I was told that this would happen after ablation and at first my heart felt very strange. Now I get a few odd beats a day, which I'm assuming are PACs and PVCs, though I've never identified my irregular heartbeats. How do people know what sort of beats they are having?

I agree with Michelle. I think you need to think that it is right for you. And how you feel about it is telling. I was offered an ablation 6 years ago but at that time I was more anxious about the ablation process and accompanying risks, than I was about my WPW syndrome which, to me, was just a nuisance. However a month ago I had a 4 hour bout of very fast ...

Even if you did have WPS it is not so bad. I had WPS for 57 years and mostly it was just a nuisance. The great thing with WPS is that in many cases it can be fixed by ablation.
