PACs after ablation

Thank you for this. I had a double ablation 7 weeks ago. Cryo for afib and RF where they addressed 2 areas of “PAC morphologies.” Since I’d only had three episodes of Afib almost a year ago I have no idea how successful that was. But I had two weeks completely free of all PACs and it was miraculous to have a calm heart for the first time in 50 years. Then all of a sudden they came back with a vengeance. I have been so disheartened and my EP just said when they ablate one area for PAC new ones can pop up. They are so bad it’s very hard to go to sleep and being overtired has always been a trigger. Then I get upset and that’s a trigger. I am harboring a hope that it’s just part of the so called “blanking” period but then why did I have two amazing weeks of freedom from arrhythmias? I know they are not dangerous, I’ve had them most my life. But not like what I have now which is relentless. And very pronounced.

Cappcoach, how are you doing now since the ablation for Afib and PAC? Did the PACs calm down? Did you take metoprolol or flecainide? I’m experiencing something similar—Relentless PACs 2 weeks after afib RF ablation. Let me know!
