please help!

five years ago, I discovered that I had WPW syndrome because I was always having arrhythmia and horrible palpitations. I went to get EKG and it showed up as WPW. after talking with my cardiologist We decided to do an ablation. after the ablation he claimed it was “successful “and apparently it wasn’t WPW but an extra nerve instead of an extra pathway so I just went on about my life, he never told me what it was or any more information about it. He just said it’s not Wpw it’s a nerve but he also mentioned that it was always gonna show up on the EKG as WPW even if they removed it. i never questioned it. A couple days back. I had a horrible episode when I was laying in bed and felt like someone had just punched me in the chest like a big thump, which was unfollowed by what was probably 200 bpm. After I did some breathing and tried to call myself down it went down to 110. I had one today as well, which is why I’m sharing this. but earlier in the morning, I went to get a second opinion and saw another cardiologist and he did an EKG and an echo. He got the EKG and he said that it’s showing up as WPW still like the other cardiologist had told me, but he said that it’s a red flag that they “removed” said nerve and it’s still coming up as WPW. He said that they might’ve not fully completed the ablation. I have an appointment with the cardiologist that performed it in a month but if anyone has any ideas, what could be happening now I would greatly appreciate it.
