Heart Palpitations Forum

Hello. I'm new to the forum and glad to have found it. A couple of months ago, I had an ablation for Wolff Parkinson White syndrome. The procedure was successful, the extra pathway was ablated, and my EKG now looks completely normal. I am back to my regular level of activity and can exercise, etc., without incident.
However, since the ablation, I have been experiencing strange palpitations -- a flip-flop feeling in the chest, skipped beats, "hard" beats -- during moments of emotional stress, nervousness, or excitement. It's almost as if my heart is more sensitive to anxiety than it was before, and anything that gives me an adrenaline rush of any kind seem to set it off.
I've tried to capture an incident on a Holter monitor over the past couple of weeks, but I haven't yet been able to. I'm a bit worried because I'm scheduled to travel overseas for business soon -- I'm a nervous flier anyway, and I don't want to experience these palpitations on the plane, especially if I'm still not sure what they are.
If anyone has any advice or similar experiences to share, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
