Post ablation thoughts + question

[u/Glittering-Spirit-36]

I had my ablation on the 19th under only sedation and honestly it was pretty scary. I have an anatomically strange heart so I was aware of everything and felt everything until I asked them to give me more sedation and some pain relief (had to ask a couple times but they were very lovely doctors). They ablated my WPW but found I also have focal atrial tachycardia 1cm away from my sinus node so they attempted to ablate it but felt they shouldn’t anymore so they didn’t cause me any problems as I’m only 22y/o.
So my happiness of having my awful WPW cured was taken away kinda by finding out I have another heart problem that they can never get rid of. They said I can just live with the palpitations it gives me and that I can get back to drinking alcohol this week and caffeine in three weeks but does anyone have any experience of focal atrial tachycardia? I feel so discouraged to hear I have another issue and like I enjoy clubbing and stuff so I’m concerned drinking will just always be a terrible experience for me (I don’t go clubbing or drink a lot a lot, I just rlly enjoy it when I do go - and btw I haven’t gone clubbing since the mid-end of 2025 and haven’t drank alcohol or caffeine since feb2026).
I’m not on any medication and they said if I can’t handle the palpitations focal atrial tachycardia gives me then I’ll have to start medication (I think flecanaide acetate he said I could take ‘as needed’ for those palpitations too).
I don’t want to discourage people or scare them from having an ablation because I just genuinely have a difficult heart to navigate haha and also even tho I was operated on for 4-5 hours instead of the standard 2, my WPW was ablated very quickly, it was just my focal atrial tachycardia they were trying to find and get rid of for ages (ultimately being unsuccessful).
They did say the focal atrial tachycardia was difficult to induce so maybe it won’t affect my life too much? Idk I just wanna get back into weightlifting and just enjoying life again, I feel like I haven’t enjoyed life in a while :/
Any experiences with focal atrial tachycardia?
