@judy3276 I don't know what to say, Judy, except I'm sorry you seem to have swapped one arrhythmia for another. PACs in high numbers, especially within weeks to months after an ablation, is usually not a great sign. If the numbers are falling over time, that's probably a good sign, but when you say thousands, and if that adds up to about a 3% burden in 24 hrs, meaning 3% of all heart beats during that period, then usually an EP will want to check you out and offer to perform another ablation, except this time not treating AF.
Are you still in touch with the EP, or are you searching for another, or a second opinion? If you have some financial means, and don't mind a recommendation and travel/commercial lodgings for a three day period or so, I can suggest two crackerjack EPs, one in Texas, one in Cleveland. They're at the top of their fields and perform well on complex cases, which it looks like you may be.
