Post WPW and cathater Ablation an extra beat ??

I've been diagnosed with  WPW. 2 days ago I had a cathater Ablation and it went well the Dr said it was successful my ECG's where fine till I went to the toilet and I noticed an extra heart beat . They then put me on a portable monitor and they saw it again. The Dr said he saw it in the first ECG and in the operation but was doing the Ablation for the WPW since it was the Dangerous part . He told me not to worry and he gave me Betablockers just incase they annoy me and we will see how frequent they are and determine the best solution .
As I returned home when I enetwred the bathroom it happened again . So I took the pills just to have a piece of mind . Has anyone experienced this? I also have like a heavy feeling on my chest. ? Please let me know if anyone has had this ?

I could take a month for your heart to settle down post WPW ablation.  For more complicated procedures like AF, it takes 3 months.  Take it easy for now and I hope your heart settles down soon.
