Palpitations (pacs, pvcs) first days after WPW ablation

[Marklilly]

Hello, community. Been around here and read lots of experiences but now i guess time came for me to kindly ask a few questions:
-had ablation for WPW 3 days ago. EP said there were 2 accesory pathways on left atrial lateral wall. Said he ablated them both. Venius and arterial aboard.
-next day when out of bed, feeling weird somewhat unknown palpitations. Not sure i had them before.
-next day all the same, when i am up, standing. So seems like everyday.
-Also, the very second i lay in my bed on my back i get one, much potent, which i assume might be an PVC.
I have learnt the other ones, the light ones which i get on orthostatism,  might as well be PACs.
However, i have this bothering palpitations and the Question i would very much like to get an answer from ppl who have e perienced ablations is:
Are these feelings transitory, such as from herar healing or is only a result of smthg going wrong?
WILL these palpitations subside and eventually disappear?
What should be a reasonable horizon of time i could consider them as constant? How much time after the ablation?

What you're experiencing is very normal.  I had a similar ablation to yours, left side, general area you're describing.  You will most likely experience skips and short runs of SVT for the coming weeks.  Another after symptom is the dull ache right in the center of your chest.  I had 17 burns, and the pain afterwards would cause me to stop and double over until it passed.  Another after effect that others experience is perhaps caused by the transseptal puncture.  It's been described as a sudden, sharp pain, centered in the chest.  My electrophysiologist makes a habit of probing the septal wall aND found whathe was looking for, and overlap innthe wall that didn't completely seal.  He was able to access the left side without the puncture.
Good luck on your recovery.  It gave me my life back after 54 years of SVT.

If I remember correctly it took me a few months to feel semi normal after ablation.  The heart is still healing and make take some time to get back in rhythm and heal properly.

If you're unsure or feeling not yourself or off, I would def call and talk to the nurse or dr and get them to advise you what to do just to be safe.

My symptoms diminished after, but I still have quite a bit of stuff going on - but I do have HOCM which attributes to my symptoms.

hope you get some answers from your doctor

Thank you all for taking the time to answer. I find every input on this topic so important for me these days. Therefore thank you again, your answers are so valuable for me!

Otherwise, I wish i could say my palpitations diminished as days pass, but unfortunately seems not to be the case. I get them mostly in several certain positions (left arm raised above head level), or as I lay on the bed on my beck.

I assume they might be somehow connected to stomach position relative to the heart. I am quite concerned of the nature of these palpitations (just simple pacs, or small runs of abnormal pathway recovery?), what they mean (just simple things without importance? or a sign of old tachy coming back, some sort of omen?), if all these palpitations would accompany me in my life from now on, or will get me have another ablation.
