Just felt a string of strong heartbeats that were a little faster than normal- like beat beat beatbeatbeatbeat beat beat- could it be nsvt? i had pvcs and needed an ablation for them but this was different - no sensation of a skipped beat.

Ans: Sounds like you already have cardiac issues so you are best to return to your cardiologist for evaluation

Possibly, but...: Given your history of irregular heart rhythm requiring ablation, I would advise follow up with your heart specialist or PCP should this continue.Especially if it becomes longer or more frequent or you experience lightheadedness or chest pain. Irregular beats are not uncommon, and can be precipitated by stress, alcohol, caffeine, infection, etc. Simply coughing can sometimes break them. Needs eval.
