get in to your er or doc now. Who cares what it is, the symptoms are scary...any chest pain in somebody with that history is ominous.

First - get yourself to the ER!!! You need to have your chest pain evaluated and treated !!!! Considering you have had an ablation of your sinus node, an accelerated junctional rhythm might be a normal rhythm for you, but without knowing your history, EKG before and after your procedure, etc it would be careless of me to say anything more. Please get yourself checked out right away!

An accelerated junctional rhythm generally is a relatively slow narrow complex rhythm that supersedes a clinically bradycardic sinus node rate and it may be an escape mechanism during periods of significant bradycardia and high-grade atrioventricular (AV) block. A junctional rhythm may indicate underlying heart disease, such as coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction (especially in the inferior wall), or degenerative changes in the conduction system. It also may signal excess vagal activity, hypoxia, or an adverse response to a drug, such as digoxin, quinidine, a calcium channel blocker, or a beta-blocker.
