I’ve had three ablations, the last one after having extra beats. Was wondering if anyone has experienced this?

covid Did not bother my heart during or after. It sounds like with some it does. I had it mildly and took prescribed meds during to prevent worsening. I also take loads of supplements every day that I feel are helpful in general and were likely beneficial. My heart is super sensitive to certain foods but obviously not covid. I was actually expecting it to act up during but not even during the 1 1/2 day of fever. Nothing.

I’v been experienced problematic ectopics for the past 10 years or so and I now have several thousand a day. In my experience, viral illnesses can make ectopics worse and it was a respiratory virus (not Covid) that seemed to start it all off. What increased my ectopics from hundreds a day to thousands a day was a flu type illness 3 or 4 years ago. It’s obviously not the case for everyone. Yours might settle, but if they’re still bothersome after several weeks, best to get them checked out.
