Generally ablation is effective in 95 % cases for effective long term treatment for certain type of SVT.
so the common reasons of palpitation at this juncture would be
1) Subjective . As part of the spectrum of IBS and associated anxiety
2) The medications you are on can also cause palpitation, though not very often .
3) There may be a recurrence of SVT .
The best way if the symptoms occur everyday is to get a 24 hour holter monitoring.
Based on the results we would get an idea about the morphology and would even help your doctor to decide the furthur plan of action .
