As a cardiovascular technologist I can tell you that sometimes ablations cannot resolve the recurrence of arrhythmias. Depends what kind it is, the underlying cause and if there is coronary heart disease or any type of cardiomyopathy. There is a good method of mapping your heart during an electrophysiology study which is called ESI. What this does it inflates a ballon insite the right atrium and it has a "net" on it. The net comes in contact with the myocardium thus mapping it and can pinpoint where the arrhythmias are generating from. What an ablation does is that it "burns" the site or the group of cells that are causing the arrhythmia, however another group of cells with time or progresive disease can become irritable and start arrhythmias, or there can be another reentry pathway in your heart that can be causing the problem. The atria and ventricles are supposed to be electrically isolated from each other and with the existance of these re-entry pathways the action potential or electricity generated in the atria (or anywhere) can just travel back and forth and cause a rapid heart beat. If you live in NY the best place to have this done would be at St. Francis Hospital- The Heart Center (516-562-6000) by Dr. Greenberg or one of his associates.

I have the feeling sometimes that my heart "skips" a beat.  It's like thump, thump, thump......thump.  I asked my doctor about it, he checked things out with an EKG, etc...and said that it is most likely just normal for me.  It can be brought on by periods of anxiety or stress...try decreasing caffeine.  BUT MOST IMPORTATNLY, IF YOU HAVEN'T CHECKED WITH A DOCTOR YET...DO SO, MAKE SURE ITS NORMAL FOR YOU.

That happens to me too, after I make any sudden movements. I don't think you're going to drop dead from a heart attack any second now, but I do think if you don't do something about it it could lead to heart/chest problems later in life. I'm assuming it's your heart, unless you have a broken upper rib right in the middle of your chest. It's good that you've gone to a doctor to check things out, because you're better safe than sorry. If looking to be on the safe side, you should probably just drink lots of water and eat bananas or something because water flushes all of the bad toxins out of your body.

You are either having a panic attack or your heart is having palpitations.  Seeing that it could possibly be your heart and your arm hurts... you should immediately go to the nearest ER.\n\nI recommend calling 911 right now.

Take the pen out of your pocket. (Just kidding) Any kind of chest pain should be a reason to stop what you've been doing, and seek a Doctor's help.

Functional heart murmurs caused by rushing of blood through the valve are very common. I think your symptoms are mental rather than organic.

you are suffering from a very common cardiac arrhythmia, it is caused by a variety of factors, most of them you are just mentioned, but your diet and hereditary history has much to do, the skipped beats are an electrical effect caused for a malfunction of the natural electrical pace generator nodes in the heart, they are affected by stress, your diet and other factors, commonly this is not a physical disorder, you better go to your doctor

look i'm 18 years old and i've had chest pain since i was like 7 or 8 anyway i know how you feel not knowing what's wrong. i've been told it was caused by lifting stuff i'd strained/streched some muscles in my chest, i slept wrong, that they're panic attacks, it was caused by coughing due to a cold, that i had plorisy (or however you spell it), no one to this day can tell me what's wrong. i've been through the blood work, ekg's, ect. and they can't find anything wrong. i think it because when they schedule these things, during the time of having them done i'm not having the pain, so i guess that's why the basiclly tell me that it's all in my head. but hey i'm here for ya. it might take a while but in time they'll find out it's not all in out heads. in the mean time if you need omeone to talk to that understands the pain e-mail me at wolfspan16@yahoo.com . good luck though i know how painful they can be.

I also have had them. I am also a medical student just finishing med school.  Those beats you felt are called "PVC's", which in english is a skipped heart beat. You feel it as a racing heart.  This can occur with any "stimulants" like caffine (coke, coffee, red bull), diet pills, decongestents (especially sudafed since it has pseudoephedrine (a stimulant).  \nHowever, you need to have your heart monitored by your own doctor. He will likely give you a "holter monitor" which records your heart over 24 hours.  You should also discuss with your doctor any abnormal or "sudden      s" in your family. \nHope I helped, take care

Don't worry and stress yourself out until you have a reason to do so, ok?  YOu will see your doctor and it will all be sorted out.  But the truth is, a LOT of people have irregular heartbeats.  some end up being mitrovalve prolapse, which is what I have. I don't do anything differently because of it..  Best of luck to you.

first you need to relieve your stress!!!\n no this is not a condition of the heart. stress is [by itself] but you need to go back and tell your doctor about this condition immedisately!!! [like yesterday]!!!\n this is a serious condition that requires immediate attention.

Been there, done that. I have a stent in my right coronary artery. It has been there for over 5 years. Never any problems. I feel for you with the problem you had before. That's terrible, must have been very scary. I hope you have better luck this time. It may save your life. God bless and good luck!

You should have gone to the Doctor a long time ago.\nI suggest you go immediately or to a Hospital ER.

That's tachycardia.  It's too fast.  Go see a doctor.  Does it occur after you do intense exercise or does it occur out of nowhere?  Is it a common thing for you?  If you have atrial fibrillation, you could throw a clot to your brain and get a stroke.  Find out the reason you have the fast heart rate.  This is no joke.  Go see a physician.\n\nNormal heart rate should be 60-100 for an adult.
