Hi, all--
Saw my EP doctor yesterday and my cardio this morning for my ablation follow-up. I had no PVCs on the EKG that my EP doc did, and my cardio didn't hear any this morning when he listened to my heart. I'm still experiencing PVCs and some V-Tach. I'm having V-Tach almost daily now, as opposed to occasionally before the procedure. My EP doctor said it may be "normal" to feel these beats post-ablation for a few weeks or a few months after (I see her again in 6 weeks, and then after March 22, the three-month anniversary of my ablation). My cardio seems a bit puzzled that I'm still having PVCs and some V-tach, and he wants me to wear another Holter monitor.
My question is for those of you who have had ablations: Have you continued to have an abnormal heart rhythm after the ablation?
My cardio increased my dose of Toprol XL to 100 mg to be taken at night to see if it makes any difference.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
