So sorry to hear this. I experienced exactly same thing. I had no heartburn until EP insisted I take Protonics. In 2 days hellacious heartburn. Begged to stop Protonics, was told had to take. Finally after 6 wks weaned myself off snd in 4 days, no mre heartburn. EP said impossible it was from Prot but had it happen once before when taking for throat issue. I'm 'allergic' to ppis but docs refuse to believe. I sympathize, its horrible

I had my ablation almost 2 years ago. It was successful in that I went from weekly a fib to two incidents in 18 months. I do recall heartburn in the few weeks following the procedure and was very attuned to it because I did have signs of Barrett’s Esophagus prior to Bariatric surgery in 2014. That GERD completely resolved.
My Electrophysiologist referred me back to my Gastro. He prescribed protonix and within 6 weeks the heartburn was gone. It has not returned.
