      have had 2 stress tests and 3 holtor monitors, recent for 3 days, and many ecgs. i get svt a few times a day but only for a few seconds most times and can be 5 mins but not often. my cardiologist and other doctors said it was harmless and i don't need treatment, i am on beta blockers 40mg though. but it scares me that it is so often. i also feel my heartbeat constantly but nothing was caught during that. do you think i should ge more opinions?

    It took 4 coronary specialists in 4 countries over 50 years before I got correctly diagnosed as having SVT. I was usually given sedatives being regarded as an anxious female, then adenosine intravenously to correct heart rate. A brilliant doctor visiting Monterey hospital diagnosed my SVT as an electrical problem and gave me a catheter Ablation all done in 10 minutes!

      It’s concerning how often doctors will dismiss SVT episodes. Mine became very active almost 10 years ago. Took providers 5 years to refer me to cards. I was always told I had medical anxiety and that if I’d stop focusing on the “funny feelings” in my heart, the sensation would “go away” and I’d forget how scared I was. That’s not how SVT works but as a stupid pleb I leaned there was no point in trying to reason with MDs.

    I’m a victim of Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia where my heart is beating so fast, you can’t feel a heartbeat. It’s been caught at 197bpm but that’s only the beginning. They discovered I have a very rare heart defect I was born with, known as Wolff, Parkinson, White Syndrome. That’s only part of the problem since I also get bradycardia and A-fib plus spontaneous blackouts. I’m so rare because I have a short circuit between the SA node and the AV node besides the normal pathway. So my poor heart gets two different signals and messing everything up. I now have an expensive loop heart monitor implanted in me that checks my heart 24/7. That’s so my Electrophysiologist can find each heart cell involved in the short circuit. In a rare procedure, he will have to destroy each rogue heart cell one cell at a time to stop the short circuit from happening again. That could take up to 10 hours and I cannot move, so I’ll be strapped to the table unconscious. Btw, I’ve now lived with this heart defect for 78 years, an accomplishment for this poor heart still beating in my chest.

      @@hanz5300 Hanz, my case is rare and you should not judge your tachycardia against mine. My defect alone is one in a million, the odds of me living to my age is probably one in ten million. Back in the 1950’s when I was 10, nothing was known about heart rhythm problems when I blacked out for the first time I can remember. All I know is one second I was okay, the next I was on the ground or floor, wondering what happened. There are a number of things doctors can and will do for you. Medications is one, there are several things you can do to ease up you triggering your tachycardia. Anxiety is one thing, do not constantly think about it, stress is another trigger. Stop drinking anything with caffeine in it. Anything with a stimulant like caffeine in it can trigger it. So you will have to live a more calm, peaceful life. Of course I knew none of this at your age and I suffered because of it. I hope doctors can calm your heart down Hanz but you have to work on keeping yourself calm. By the way, I’m in the United States if you are wondering. Good luck, let me know how things work out for you, just keep track of this post on You Tube.

      @@kailashmanas3501 What would you like me to talk about? Many things can cause tachycardia which your doctor should have explained to you. Chocolates are just one thing, like I already explained to the last poster on this subject. Since you have access to the internet, you can research for answers to questions you may have. When I was your age, I used to plan things years in advance. Now I cannot even plan what I’ll do in the next second because my birth defect can stop my heart between the first half of a heartbeat and the second half. I cannot worry about my life ending in an instant because stress can trigger tachycardia. I am not a doctor so I cannot give you medical advice but I can try to answer questions you may have because they have happened to me.

    Wonderful video, and extremely well explained. I had a case of atrial flutter (HR about 120 to 130 BPM). This was very alarming, as my resting rate is normally in the high 50's. My cardiologist performed catheter ablation, and thus far (after 2 years), the flutter has NOT returned. I am reasonably sure that this was caused by fibrous tissue in my heart as a result of alcohol use (2-3 IPA's per day for several years). I think alcohol, even in moderate amounts on a regular basis, causes heart damage. Needless to say, it has altered my view of moderate alcohol use "being good" for the heart. That belief, IMHO, is perpetrated by the alcohol industry itself.
    So, hopefully others can learn from my own experience. I am very fortunate to still be here, and had a great physician who helped me with this issue. I was 66 years old when this ablation occurred, and in otherwise good physical condition (not obese, 5'8", 145 lbs, and a regular exerciser). Be VERY careful in buying into the idea that small amounts of alcohol, regularly, are good for you. Not everybody !! Do some reading up on this subject in documented medical literature and you will see that I am correct.

      My first two episodes were when I was drinking heavy. I haven't drank for nearly 3 years but I had a 3rd episode a few weeks ago. I was surprised because I thought after I quit drinking they would go away. I later suspected the last one was caused by taking a high-dose turmeric supplement. I can't be positive but the timing made sense. My cardiologist recommended the ablation but I felt I wanted to research first. It's interesting and insightful to hear others' experiences.

    If you are in an episode, start acting like you are trying to poop and pushing really hard.
    In an episode, bending over and violently coughing can help get you out of it
    If you are in it for more then 20 minutes and these techniques haven’t worked to get you out, go to the hospital. If you dont have someone to drive you call an ambulance. driving can be stressful and you dont want to faint while driving.

    This was so helpful thank you! I’m a paramedic & had an episode of SVT myself ( rate of 260 and super symptomatic! Luckily a valsalva manoeuvre worked amazingly), I caught it and reported it to my GP as I have a family history of heart conditions, my GP completely disregarded it by stating ‘all tachycardia’s are SVT’. This has validated my concerns for his statement and flippancy and I’ll definitely be trying again to get some investigations!

    Was diagnosed with SVT at 16, and god the first time I experienced an episode, I was beyond scared. Heart would rise up to 220 bpm, and I always felt like I was on the verge of passing out. Luckily I got a procedure done, but there’s still remnants of it (high heart rates)

    I was diagnosed back in 2018 with SVT. I had had an episode a couple years prior and it lasted about 10 minutes. I didn’t know what it was or understand it and I just tossed it up to stress I was under. Then in 2018 I was working at Aprl Restaurant and I was just presenting a guest it happened again, but this time it was worse and thank God the GM on duty had a blood pressure cuff and when he checked my heart rate I was it 248 BPM, 911 was called of course. My husband was in the ER room with me along with eight doctors, not nurses not PAs,, needless to say it was the scariest experience of my life. I’ve had a couple few since then. One episode my husband brushed me to the hospital and alerted the staff of what was happening and there was a doctor just happened to be right there and he invented or created or whatever the medical term is where they discover a procedure and that vagal maneuver that he medically came up with was used on me that night, it didn’t work! Ha ha. But needless to say to all my SVT family my heart goes out to you, he he.❤

    My doctor taught me to do the Valsalva manoeuvre by holding my nose, tipping my head towards my chest and blowing hard while keeping my mouth shut. I've found that doing this repeatedly during an SVT event bought my heart rate back to normal - a bit lower each time I tried it. Having an Apple watch has been useful too - it picked up I was having an SVT event before I noticed it was happening.

    Since I was about 13 years old, I sporadicaly felt an unusual sensation feeling in heart (a single harder heart beat), which set my entire body on alarm. I couldn't tell what it was and I was just living with it. I visited a few cardiologists and they said it was all fine. Now when I am almost 30, I had a really bad flare-up of this sensation which wouldn't stop. I went into panic mode, and we called an ambulance (Because my chest felt like a drum). They made EKG and drove me to the hospital, the doctor said it was SVT. They did a few more examinations (Holter, USG, etc), and again said my heart was okay. My SVT are tough to diagnose due to the frequency of occurrence (Except the time I was in the ambulance, which showed clear SVT non-stop). My cardiologist suggested taking iron, and magnesium supplements which really helped, and the frequency reduced from few per day, to maybe one per week (single out-of-sync heart beats). Also no need for professional medication or ablation due to frequency.
