Exam immediately: It is not normal for you to have any of those mentioned symptoms. With your history of WPW/ irregular heartbeat and past cardiac ablation therapy, it is concerning that something with your heart could be happening again. If there is an abnormal heart beat this reduces brain blood flow. Please get yourself to an emergent department right away.
