Probably won’t get better. PVCs are hard to get rid of. I had an ablation and for that type ablation, you have to stay awake to keep heart moving as fast as possible. Most painful procedure I ever had. I’m on a table for 90 minutes, awake while they are burning the inside of my heart to create scar tissue to reroute heart rhythms. I still have PVCs. People can live with PVCs. Everybody is different but make sure you get more than 1 opinion from an EP.

I never heard of such a thing as being awake during ablation. I had an ablation for PVC’s with sedation similar to what is used during colonoscopy. When I asked prior to my ablation if I would feel any pain, my surgeon assured me that I wouldn’t feel anything and that “ they weren’t in the business of inflicting pain.”
