The ablation was done for psvt....which he said for a definition was 3 or more pvc's in a row before your heart beats normally...when the ablation did not work and i have them alll the time...now he is saying its just pvc's.....I have them so bad it feels more out of rythm than it does in rythm...and now there is pain and i faint.....I dont know what to do...I feel like im getting the run around and I dont feel good at all.
I echo the previous posters thoughts. I am a bit surprised they rushed in to do an ablation for pvcs. The success rate is hit and miss as well they can create bigger issues then you started with. That said, ablations can also aggravate ectopic beats. So the ectopics you are feeling may not be the same ones they ablated. Though I would caution not doing anything for a good year. I had an ablation for avnrt, a supra ventricular tachycardia and it took a good year for my ectopics to settle down to a point where I don't feel them so often. I don't know what they ablated with you or if it will get better but I do caution to try and let your heart get a good amount of rest from all of this before you rush into an ablation. Any extra physical activity keep to a minimum and do whatever you can to reduce stress and anxiety and hopefully these will settle down on their own so you don't have to resort to another ablation. hang in there I do hope you feel better soon.
I'm surprised that your cardiologist jumped straight to the ablation option so quickly. I've always thought that for PACs and PVCs, an ablation should be done as a last resort only when they're either ruining your quality of life or are so frequent that they're damaging the heart muscle.
From the limited info in your post, it sounds like your cardiologist may have pushed you into an unnecessary ablation. Although there are many on this site that have had great success with ablation for certain conditions (namely SVT), I think an ablation is nothing to be taken lightly and is nothing to jump into. Also, I believe ablations have very questionable success rates in curing premature beats. Of course, I'm not an expert and have never had one, just my opinion.
Have you considered a cardiologist or eledtrophysiologist that is more compassionate and undertanding of your symptoms? Hopefully, you're are not bound to these physicians. I see you're in Ohio. If I were you I would go directly to the Cleveland Clinic and have them evaluate your situation..
