Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) which is not responding to anti arrhythmia Chat Doctor.  So you have to undergo ablation procedure. Arrhythmias if not treated can lead to heart complications and sudden death. You are having chest pain, so you need to control your fast heart as soon as possible. So better to consult cardiologist and get done Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG) and elctrophysiological study (EP study) for the diagnosis of arrhythmia. You will definitely improve with ablation procedure. These will reduce your heart rate a chest pain. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
