PVC's After Hip Injection

Hi all, I haven’t posted for a while as I have been enjoying 'normality' following very successful ablations around a year ago for AF and AFl. All meds except Edoxaban stopped.However. . . I had an injection in my hip (for a labral tear and impingement) a few weeks ago and immediately following I have experienced a vast increase in PVC 's (premature ventricular contractions). Before that, I could count on one hand the occurrence of PVC's, which never really bothered me.

In the week following the injection, I had almost continuous fluttering in my chest, recorded as PVC on the Kardia, and felt quite unwell. Things have improved since then (2 weeks later), but not quite returned to pre-injection state.Is this a coincidence? Has anyone else experienced this after such a procedure?

I asked my hip consultant about the injection, who advised that the local did not contain adrenaline (I had heard this may cause issues, so asked).

I have contacted my cardiologist for his opinion, but he is away at the moment.

In the meantime, I would appreciate any information - I will be so dissapointed if this is a deterioration rather than a temporary issue triggered by the injection.

Many thanks
