Thanks to both of you for your advice, I am still trying to locate a doctor in my country. I've also been trying to contact my previous doctor, but his website doesn't give an email address and I emailed the hospital he's affiliated with and haven't received a response from them yet, (doubt they will).
RE: Smoking, I hadn't thought about the initial additional stress factor. Thanks for that point of view.
This is the community forum. From your post, I'm not sure if you intended it for this or the doctor forum. You could post it there as well and see what the doctor has to say.
RE: Smoking: As you pointed out, stress aggravates arrhythmias. Quitting smoking is very stressful so initially the palpitations could become worse. A friend of mind (heavy smoker of 2 packs a day) quit cold turkey and didn't feel well until almost a year later. All those toxins that you have depended on are leaving your body and there is bound to physical and psychological reactions.
11 years is a long time and the procedure has improved immensely since then. Hopefully if you have the procedure done again, they will be able to ablade the rest of the sites.
By any chance do you mean PVC's when you said "frequent isolated (one beat) PSVTs daily"?
I'm not sure what your doctor will decide. I've had 3 ablations and still have brief PSVT episodes (less than a minute). I had 2 yesterday. I also PAC's and PVC's sprinkled throughout the day. But the cardios feel this is an improvement ant the brevity of my tachys will not cause any harm. So I'm finished with procedures. My heart is also structurally normal at this point so there's no concern.
You could try medication if the symptoms bother you very much. I had to go on a CCB recently because I was going to have surgery. They wanted my heart to be as quiet as possible and anesthesia tends to stir things up. I'm still on it (not because I like it) but because it stopped my chest pain. I still have some tachys and ectopics. This will be a decision between you and your doctor.
