You say "I have great faith in him. The reason I am writing this is I get palpitations all the time. Probably about 3 or so every minute".
So what does your EP say about these events? I understand this is disconcerting but have you had a monitor on and or a 12 lead EKG that also revealed what kind of palpitations these are?
Yes there are other people who have these same problems. Are you now free of Afib and Aflutter? Can you feel the difference between the different palpitations? Afib ablations are different than Aflutter ablations which are different from PAC ablations which are different from PVC ablations. What this means is all these events requiring ablations (assuming the are not the same) would be coming from a different place on the heart. My EP was considering doing an Afib ablation(2nd one) and also doing one for my PACs. That would require going through different places to the heart to ablate them. Right now the PACs have dropped considerably so we are waiting to find out more info. I had a holter monitor for a month. Not enough info to prove I need both approaches so I am now using KARIA mobile device to see if I can record the events.
I must agree with you when the palpations are very frequent it is a very uncomfortable sensation.
