Heart Disease and Heart Attack Answer A6516

Heart ablation is a procedure used to control a rapid heart beat. In your particular case, it is possible that it might not have been completely effective.

Further examination by a cardiologist to rule out any heart issues may be needed. If no pathological heart problem is found, then it is possible the symptoms you reported might be related to anxiety.

You might be oversensitive about your body since you are aware of your previous medical history. Also, the recent discontinuation of smoking might contribute to the anxiety. What is actually happening must be determined by a doctor.
