Why Does It Pain In The Area Near The Chest And Sternum After Catheter Ablation Done Due To Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome?
I had a catheter ablation done about a year and a half ago. I had it done because I had Wollf Parkinson white syndrome . That seems to be resolved but I still have times when I have some pain in the left of my chest and sometimes in sternum area. Almost feels like a cramp or just a mild ache. Today my heart has been flipping. It has done it in the past but today for some reason it is happening more frequently like 3-4 times a minute or so. Any ideas ?

Hi,
I read your query and understood your concern.
What you are experiencing it's probably due to arrhythmia.
To determine the type of arrhythmia i suggest to perform ECG, ECHO and 24 hour Holter rrhythm monitoring.
If everything is normal than don't worry so much. Otherwise consult a cardiologist to take the proper treatment.
Hope i answered to your query.
