I have been having what doctors call palpitations every day

I had a similar situation, but the irregular heartbeats started about 2 years after my ablation. it turned out to be that my mitral valve regurgitation was increasing and it was time for mitral valve repair. Are docs monitoring any regurgitation? I had been getting annual echo cardiograms so that was something they were monitoring. Wishing you all the best is sorting it out.

I looked up mitral valve regurgitation and the symptoms sound similar to heart murmur. When I was about 32 yes old I was told I had a heart murmur. I did not think anything about it. Now I am 76. At night when I wake up, I thought someone was running their washing machine in the middle of the night or my fridge making noises. I would check and nothing going on.
Then I remembered the heart murmur diagnosis, and googled it and others saying the same and could be a heart murmur. It sounds like this regurgitation about the same. I think they just keep coming up with different names for symptoms that are slightly dofferent.
Whatever it is, it has been getting louder. I sometimes get up for a bit and that stupid noise stops and go back to sleep. I swear it sounds like a washing machine running!
