A&e or wait for GP?

honestly don’t have a scooby doo what to do, really hoping someone has some advice or knowledge

basically my heart feels like it’s going pretty fast. My Apple Watch says it’s about 180. I’ve had SVT before and am unmedicated now because I had an ablation in summer (I posted on here for advice at the time )- I haven’t had a single SVT since then so I was delighted with the results but I think it’s started again tonight

but I don’t even know if it is svt because I thought the ablation meant I couldn’t have anymore episodes of it anymore? But at the same time I have no idea what else it could be, I suppose it could just be stress but I didn’t feel stressed when I came on

but since I’ve already had an ablation so I don’t know if it would be overkill to go to A&e for this? Previously I went to a&e for my episodes but now I’ve had the ablation I don’t know if that changes anything because it can’t be SVT now since it’s meant to be fixed? and even if it is SVT again I was told it doesn’t cause problems other than discomfort and I don’t feel too bad with it at the moment, so I’m not sure if I’d be better just to wait and get a GP appt tomorrow? Previous episodes I had felt really bad so I just took myself to A&e

ah, sorry I know I’ve rambled a bit but I’m just so gutted this has happened again as I haven’t had a single issue after my ablation. I don’t want to be that person in a&e that is timewasting if it’s just stress or something else minor and i obviously don’t want to go to a&e at midnight but at the same I’ve no clue what else to do!

I would get referred back to cardiology. It took 4 ablations for rectify my wolf Parkinson white syndrome! Each time it came back I thought I was imagining it or being dramatic as I’d had the ablation xxx

that makes me feel so much better (not that you had to have 4 ablations, but that you thought you were being dramatic too) because that’s exactly how I felt, like I was worried it was all in my head, so so glad to know I’m not alone!! X
