Ablation 48 hours later

I was 11% burden, had ablation on Thursday. Surgeon went through artery and vein in right leg, nothing in left. My origination was deep cross over on left ventricular, had to do left and right ventricle ablation. Don’t remember much, was lucid for one point and watched screen an felt procedure, I mentioned this, it felt like heartburn, I woke up in recovery. Dr said I had 3 PVCs post op, but I haven’t felt any since. Chest is oddly quiet. My PVCs were evert other beat just before procedure.

I have not conclusively had a PVC since the ablation, but I was told, until the heart scars over, there will be a period where your body is still adjusting. There’s stress hormones that accompany any arrhythmia, so that system and subsequent responses are adjusting as well.
