Hi welcome to HCM.
Chest squeezing in your case warrants further work up in the form of 2d echocardiography of heart.Drugs like nitrates and beta blockers can control the symptoms arising out of wpw sundrome.electrophysiological studies can help to revise the ablation procedure.consult your cardiologist for further queries.
