Heart problems are not a one shot deal

Heart problems are not a one shot deal. If they remove your appendix, once it's out you will no longer have a problem with the appendix. But not so with the heart.

They can treat current conditions, sometimes prevent future problems, but they can't get them all. In addition, heart problems are a moving target. What works today may not work in a few weeks, months, or even years.

Unfortunately it's up to us to continually monitor what is going on, report to the doctor, and take appropriate action.

Hopefully your doctor can treat the palpitations and get you back to normal quickly.
