o sorry u are having the skipped beats.I know how uncomfortable
they can be and scary. Mine come and go. What is IHB?
Have you called your Dr. Or been to see him? You are such a sweet lady that I really hate for u to go though this.
I can empathize as I am in so pain from my Torn Rotator cuff and living in anew place. I am so worried, too that my husband. Cannot find a job in this little town - our little bit of money is going fast:(
My Pcp is getting me referal with Orthopedic Surgeon this week. I am refusing surgery - they say my tear is big and involves tendons
please take care of yourself. LET US KNOW WHAT U FIND OUT!
Hugs,
Christine

Daisy, my EP told me not to be surprised if I had a little here and there at my 9 month post ablation checkup. In fact, he told me if I had any real episodes that lasted 2 or 3 hours and then went away, that I shouldn't worry too much about them at this point and I had my ablation last July! Back in December, I believe I might have been feeling rare but occasional butterflies in the chest. Not sure what the frequency of your symptoms are but sounds like they are there but then go away by themselves which is a good thing - no where for those signals to go! Hang in there! It's good when all we need is one ablation but cleanups aren't unusual and perhaps your are still in the healing process.

Thanks guys, I ended up going to the ER on Monday, it was constant since Friday. These were different beats that I have not had before, not feeling like the afib I am used too. So the called them pacs, called my cardio who put me back on Cartia to help with symptoms and was also told my thyroid.tsh was too low so they decreased my thyroid med and that could be adding to the problem. Ugh I just want to feel normal again!

I had an ablation about three years ago.
I am doing great, but I do still get what is called extra heartbeats. At times, especially when I have had extra anxiety or haven't slept well.
I take 1/2 of Solalol for this issue at night. Not sure if this the same thing.

Thank you,
Sandy

my ablation was 12/13 and I still get PACs. As long as I dont have afib Im ok with it

Thanks for the input, I so appreciative it!
I am doing better, heart rate back to where it was and no more pacs that I am aware of, dose of thyroid meds was lowered but not to take any until Monday. Go back to see EP on Tuesday, here is hoping it was the thyroid being so out of whack, am hypo and have been for yours but for some reason I went hyper........... too much TSH, trying to find that cause too!

I'm ten weeks post ablation, I still get occasional PAC's but they do seem to be decreasing somewhat. Today I did a no-no, I had a can of Rock Star (it's kinda like multiple Red Bulls) which I used to drink at lease once or twice a week when I was into being mister animal weight lifter. Well, since I have had minimal caffeine in over a year, you can imagine how wired I am after a can of Rock Star ... won't do that again. The heart, however, is doing well, no AFIB and no PAC's ... just WIRED!

I had "skipped" beats regularly in the evening for several years post ablation ...until I eliminated large evening meals almost totally which has reduced the incidence to occasional ....rare..and had the spinoff benefit off reducing Xanax use also to occasional as it was how I dealt with the anxiety caused by the discomfort of the "skipped" beat feeling. I am now 50 months post ablation....one Afib event 32 months post procedure otherwise aside from frick'n anxiety that comes with this malady or fear of it returning life pretty good....aside from getting older and having other parts of the machine break or run less smoothly. These things kind of feed on anxiety.....nothing wrong with medicating some of that anxiety away. Hope it stops bothering you soon.
