PVCs: I had a heart ablation a few months ago.

Hi @@marymcadams,
As I've mentioned before I've had 5 ablations- the last one was successful (pulmonary vein ablation). I've never heard of a "valve ablation", so perhaps this is an altogether different procedure. I am familiar with PVC's- I've had lots of those, and have been told that they are benign and nothing to worry about. As far as a "loopy" feeling in your head- at one time I was given digoxin for my heart rhythm problems and I responded very poorly to the med. I felt strange, was very nervous, felt strange in my head as you described and was almost having a panic attack. I was taken off that med and felt fine again , So maybe your symptom is related to a med you are taking. Sounds like you need to discuss this with your electrophysiologist who performed your ablation. All the best, martishka

Hello, <br />
It sounds like you need to see a dr who can help you. If your dr doesn't have a clue what the problem is then you need to go to another doctor. Hopefully there is a cardiologist near you or , if this is a rhythm problem, an electrophysiologist. I saw that the Mayo Clinic has been recommended to you. I think that would be terrific. The process is different where I live (Canada). I was referred to the electrophysiologist since my family doctor knew that I had a rhythm problem. The EP doctor saw me for an ablation at the hospital. You can't go to the hospital here on your own and expect to see a specialist, that takes place in the office through a referral. I am assuming that in the states you can go directly to the hospital since the Mayo Clinic was recommended to you. <br />
Good luck, <br />

I have talk to my doctor and he has no clue. I am not on any medicine. I could not take beta blockers due to my low blood pressure. Are there any hospital that you could suggest. Thanks for taking time to talk to me. I have been home bound for almost two years. <br />
