Pacemaker Mediated Tachycardia

I had a RF Ablation last November! All went well although I experienced a few what I call "tremors" since then. I had a check up recently with the cardiologist and Pacemaker Technician. The result was an episode of Pacemaker-Mediated Tachycardia...has anyone else heard of this or experienced it?

It's a tachycardia started and maintained by the PM. Your heart isn't racing, your PM is. Typically it races @ the max programmed PM rate. It can go on and on in a loop, but modern devices recognize when it's going into PMT and typically self-terminates.
