I was always told three to six months. Tachycardia and ectopics are quite normal post ablation but NOT AF.
See if you can get your med changed. Depending on how bad you are with afib maybe the ablation helped but I would say at this point it was not a complete success.
I looked back at what my EP said seven months after my ablation and he was hoping for further improvement.
Had my ablation 3months ago had my check up at barts last week ,told it was a success ,they told me 3 months would tell if it worked are not best of luck
Only just starting to think my ablation has worked it will be a year in sept not had af since March but lots of ectopics
