PSVT with no abnormal pathway / "pectus excavatum" / pains and MVP

Hello,

1 - I would like to know if PACs, in a normal structured heart, can cause PSVT without an abnormal pathway on your heart. We know PACs can trigger arrhythmias if there is an abnormality in the electrical system. But even if it doesn

Well, then I probably have an ectopic atrial tachycardia or something. Haven't got it on the electrocardiogram yet, because the episodes are very rare. But I am very familiar with the symptoms since I have already had PSVT (which later showed up as Atrial Flutter) theoretically cured in the ablation. That is very frustrating because I find very hard to deal with it. That idea of a new focus of arrhythmia gives me the impression that the only explanation is that there is something very wrong with my hear. But echo came just fine, except a little MVP. So doctors just say I'm fine and etc. At the moment there is nothing I can do but wait for the day I'll get an apisode long enough to be captured in a monitor. And I'm just 20 years old, no smoke, no drink, exercise regularly. I'm sorry to give vent to this feeling, it's just it's very frustrating.
