I had an ablation in February. Just now coming off heart meds. Occasionally I have a heavy palpitation. Does anyone know if this is normal?

I also had an ablation in Feb. and recently stopped the meds. And, yes, I have very brief fluttering now and then. The episodes last only a few seconds, but are enough to make me a bit dizzy and breathless. At least I am currently a-fib free. Maybe these brief episodes go away after awhile. Being a-fib free is wonderful! So far, at least, I am very glad I had the ablation. I can deal with the occasional flutters. Anyone else out there have anything to add, especially if you had an ablation at least six months ago?

I had my ablation done in January 08 for a-fib and flutter. Right after the ablation I did get some intense PVC/PAC'S. They have tappered off considerably, and now I get them occasionaly and they are not bothersome. I hardly notice them now.
