- SVT update:
In this video I am giving you an update on my experience with supra ventricular tachycardia (SVT) and what’s happened since the last video I made about SVT last year.
This video should not be taken as medical advice for this condition. I am just speaking on my experience. Please consult with your doctor regarding your diagnosis and treatment options if you still have questions.

The problem with svt is the feeling when you get it. And the constant anxiety of not knowing when it’s gonna happen and where. I think I’m gonna have an ablation cause I can’t take the anxiety it’s creating in my daily life. Thanks for sharing your story makes me feel better about the condition and the fact that it isn’t dangerous.
Yes please let me know if u have it done I had an episode last night and that medicine in the IV was horrible I’ve had it twice this year and two years ago it’s taking over my life the thought of not knowing when it will happen my anxiety has went thru the roof because of svt I love her she so calm about it it gives me peace
@@Caitlinpreston123 they administered adenosine?
@@hugoglzjr They do administer adenosine for patients with bad lengthy episodes of SVT's if the valsalve maneuver fails. In extreme cases if any of above fails, the EMS will perform a cardioversion which delivers a shock to a patient's chest sides to bring the heart rhythm back to normal.
That’s exactly how I feel. I am so scared all the time. I have had a serious fall straight to the ground during jogging which made me super scared to even be alone other than in my own home. Every time I have something to do outside my house, I bring my boyfriend. I have had an oblation, because they found out I had AVNRT, but they didn’t thing that was the cause of me switching of like that while running. So after the oblation they was able to catch/record a 4 second SVT episode where I felt like I was dying while it was going on. Like everything went black for a few seconds. Afterwards I’m totally fine. But even more scared. I hate this!!!! Life is awful now. I used to work out and be so active. Now I just stay at home, getting fat.
@@resiliencebyveronica7601 how have u been after the ablation?
Im sobbing with terror and being bedridden with fear. I just want an ablation and my life back. Id be happy to be able to walk to the kitchen let alone anything else. Im done. Im so sick of it im done..
I feel you 😢 I scared of going anywhere cause of this
Back in September of 2019 I was finally diagnosed with SVT. I’ve had episodes since first grade, diagnosed when I was 26. I didn’t have any real tiggers. I could exercise just fine, I could drink coffee etc. Most of my episodes would just start randomly while I was watching TV or something, and I didn’t really have any way to stop it. I would just try to control my breathing as to not panic and wait for it to stop. When I was really young I would only get episodes every few years, then when I got to my early 20s they started happening probably once a year, and at their most frequent I would get them 2-3 times per year.
As a kid when I told my doctor, she had me do all sorts of tests that ultimately lead to nothing since you have to actually be experiencing an episode for any abnormalities to show. So it was brushed off as anxiety.
Most of the episodes would only last 5 minutes though, and over the years I just sort of got use to it. Even at one point convinced myself it was just some muscle spasm and not my heart.
Pretty much was like that until one day in 2019, my episode would just not stop. I got myself to the ER, and they pretty much knew right away what it was once they had me on an EKG(or whatever it’s called, I don’t know medical terms) during the episode. They had me recorded at 240 bpm resting.
They had me do some vagal maneuvers to try to reset the nerve signal but none of them worked so they had to give me 2 doses of adenosine to actually get my heart rate back to normal. The weirdest feeling I think I’ll ever feel, and I would never want to go through it again. Though I think what was more terrifying than the adenosine was the defibrillator they had on standby in case something went horribly wrong 😅
Essentially after that they told me it could either be controlled with drugs or I could get an ablation procedure (since the vagal maneuvers would not work for me that wasn’t really an option). I chose the ablation and got one scheduled a few months later in January 2020.
It was my first time ever being under general anesthesia so I was a bit scared going in, but honestly it was super easy. I remember getting wheeled into the operating room then waking up in the recovery room.
I had to lay flat for 4-5 hours after the procedure to not disturb the incision, (they went in via one of the veins in the groin, and the incision is so small you can’t see it anymore at all) then after that they had me walk around to make sure it didn’t open up, then I was discharged. Pretty easy after that, recovery took a couple weeks, I couldn’t lift anything in case I were to open the incision, but minimal pain really.
Now in 2022, it’s been 2.5 years and no episodes. It was scary, but ultimately I’m glad I had the procedure. It’s like a weight has been lifted. I no longer worry that I’ll have an episode at the wrong time or place and have to explain why I need to sit still for a bit, etc.
Wow that is very similar to me, well my first episode was when I was 16 at rugby training and it totally freaked me out I thought I was on deaths door, my heart rate set itself back to normal and I went to the doctor who said maybe im not fit enough. I thought maybe yeah I'm just not fit enough ...
2 years later I'm probably in the best condition I've ever been for rugby and I was still having episodes! I had a Holter monitor and they couldn't catch anything...until 2019 same as you 26 years old I had a massive episode where I was going in and out of SVT at work, I couldn't take four steps without going back into SVT and I went straight to the hospital where they finally recorded it on the ECG and was officially diagnosed.
Ever since that massive episode I have been on atenolol and I honestly think it crippled me mentally and stopped me from doing the things I enjoyed like training and being outdoors. Trying my best now to get my mental and physical health back in order especially for my wife and kids sake. And the sad thing is I think I passed it on to my daughter as she has been diagnosed with SVT at 2 years old, shes 6 now and has had a couple of episodes a year which is manageable.
If it’s practical for you I would 1000% say go for the ablation. The catheter itself isn’t a new thing, it’s used in many other procedures so many doctors have experience in that area. I spoke with a few doctors and some said they would have me under general anesthesia and others said they would have me more in a twilight state still somewhat aware but numb.
The catheter ablation also has a 95% chance of stopping your SVT, and if you must go back for a second procedure it then has a 99% chance. (There is a chance you could have multiple auxiliary electrical pathways hence the only 95%)
During the procedure they enter through a vein in either the groin or somewhere near the armpit (I think) depending on where they estimate that the SVT is occurring in your heart muscle. You’re either under general anesthesia or local depending on yours and the doctor preferences, and then they test for the extra electrical pathway or node in your heart by sending small electrical signals to try to trigger an SVT episode. Once they find exactly where the SVT is occurring, they cauterize the auxiliary pathway or node and then the procedure is done.
Do your research on some doctors and see where you can get in. The doctors I saw told me that the good thing is SVT won’t kill you as long as you’re healthy and your heart can take beating at such a high BPM, it’s just incredibly unsettling when you’re in an episode and you probably don’t want to be having episodes later in life as it’s more strain on your heart.
But honestly the peace of mind that I won’t ever have to experience that horrific thumping in my chest again is worth everything to me.
One thing I really wanted to share here is my personal method for getting my heartbeat back to normal quickly. I haven’t heard it mentioned anywhere, ever, but it is the only thing that works like a charm for me every time. As soon as my heart starts racing, I lay flat on my back. Usually on the ground or the floor depending on if I’m inside or outside. And the more relaxed I am, the quicker it works. The longer it takes me to lay down, the longer the episode lasts even after I lay down. My episodes almost always last a minute or less. My longest episode was the very first one I had when I was 16 at school (I’m 37 now), and I after it happened I walked all the way from the tennis courts, up a hill to the nurses office. It probably lasted a half hour or more and finally went back to normal while sitting on the cot. If I can’t lay down right away, then it does last a little longer after I do. But still only two minutes maybe. I’ve had two instances where it happened in a more public and embarrassing setting and because I couldn’t relax very well...they lasted about 20 mins. They are usually, but not always triggered by bending over while being active. I have a handful of episodes each year and they are not a big disruption in my life thankfully. I am a very healthy person otherwise (no alcohol, caffeine, drugs, smoking...and I have a vegetarian diet). Thank you for sharing your story! This is first time I’ve seen another person with SVT talk about it!
Thank you, you helped me alot, plz do more videos on dealing with SVT
I really appreciate your video. I watched the one you did in 2017 quite awhile ago and found it most helpful. SVT is scary and you don't know what to do when it won't stop. I do agree that the biofeedback is awfully helpful and it does work. I "know"it works. I'm glad you're doing better. This video was done last year. I hope you will share an update with us soon. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 from my heart that is affected with SVT to yours.. that was helpful and just hearing you talk about the same problem feels reassuring..
I also took the decision not to go for an ablation that I was offered.. let’s hope the bouts can be reduced with some diet changes..
I’ve noticed Gluten is a trigger for my SVT and PVCs as well, so here is another advice for those who are looking into their diets, avoiding gluten might feel better.
Love to all of those on this thread ❤️
Thanks for your video. Yes I have SVT also. No meds or anything just try to get 7 hours of sleep a night. I’m joining a gym tomorrow. I need to get healthy again
Workout is safe for Svt patient?I am also suffering with it
Thank you Aileen this helped me a lot, actually I have anxiety for more than two dacades, I am 46 now. Racing heart or tachycardia are my symptoms mostly but last time amount two weeks ago I had an attack which started early morning it began with skipped beats and all of sudden it continued with racing heart as I went into anxiety. This was the first time I had continued SVT's which lasted for about 30mins I was hell scared. So I figured out that I had a large cup of coffee previous night and I didn't sleep well. I am a tea lover and I occasionally drink coffee. I want to my cardiologist who after seeing my multiple heart tests told me it's all related to anxiety. I am also on diet now and reducing weight. But I lack exercise. But your suggestions are so valid and identical to mine. Keep smiling.
😊
Thank you for sharing Aileen. I have dealt with svt for nearly 20 years now. My episodes were pretty infrequent so I have just lived with it. I cut caffeine out of my diet completely about 5 years ago and it seemed to help reduce episodes. After having 6 instances that lasted far longer than usual, mine would last 10 to 20 minutes typically. 3 this year had lasted over 2 hours and my heart rate would hit around 220. I finally had enough and had an ablation procedure. My eletrophysiologist is convinced I am cured. Recovery has been really easy. My surgery was three weeks ago and I feel great and the minor bruising from the catheter entry sites is nearly gone. I am in my late 50s so the frequency of episodes will most likely increase as you get older. I think your approach makes sense. Medical procedures will continually improve and who knows there may be something that comes along that will be completely non invasive.
Hi! After you had a episode did you feel completely wiped out for a day or two? Any headaches?
My first episode (and when I got diagnosed) was in January this year 2021 and had a second episode about 2 weeks ago. Your videos really helped me. Feels good knowing I’m not the only one going through this💜
This might help. Who knows. Looks like this bloke's trying to get a bit of citizens scientist n>1 study going.

How are you now @luna_4149 xxx
Thank you for sharing Aileen! I watched your first video a while ago and I am happy to hear you’ve found ways to get your SVT under control. I am 24 and was recently diagnosed with SVT by my cardiologist, I have been having episodes off and on for 3 years so it was nice to finally put a name to it! The very first thing my cardiologist recommended was the ablation. I’m exactly where you are with this, I would rather live with it and find ways to control it rather than jumping right into surgery. This journey has definitely been interesting, finding my triggers and how to stop the episodes. I first began having episodes after smoking marijuana and have since stopped doing that- smoking always used to help with my anxiety and to sleep but no high is worth triggering an episode! I also workout a lot and have noticed recently that when my body is fatigued or super tired from an intense workout, that will trigger an episode but I still workout because it’s apart of my lifestyle- I just try to stay away from anything too intense. Recently noticed that that drinking a lot will also trigger an episode. Taking magnesium everyday has also been a big help! My go to to stop an episode is the valsalva maneuver, sitting on my bed while blowing onto my thumb for about 10-15 seconds. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t BUT I recently added lying on my back and putting my legs in the air directly after the maneuver and this has been a game changer for me. It stops an episode immediately, my last episode was less than a minute. I would highly recommend giving that a try whenever you have your next episode! Yes I have SVT but I’m not going to let this ruin my life or slow me down, I’m going to work through it day by day and keep surgeries and medications at bay. Blessings and good luck to you :)
How are u today?
I suffer from SVT , I use to train hard before but because of this condition I don’t train as hard as I usually do, also I don’t do hit training any more. Doctors haven’t diagnosed me as having SVT but when i went to ER after having an episode the doctor there said it could be that. My doctors want to catch me in the episode but I don’t fancy going through it, and when it happens unexpectedly I don’t monitor it in time. But they way I have controlled it us putting my legs up so the blood rushing back to the body, and this helps, I even do this in the gym it’s embarrassing but it helps and I don’t care too much about others. But it’s really pissing me off I can’t do the things I use to do because of this damn condition. I really feel I need to do this operation to fix it, because many have under gone the ablation and it’s helped.
I just seen my cardiologist today and he told me because I exercise and eat relatively healthy, that's why I don't really get many episodes. All the times that I've had an episode I've needed to go to the ER to get medicine to bring down my heart rate. I like to push myself during my workouts so I'm going to go ahead and do the ablation. I've been putting it off for more than a decade but I feel it's time.
Just keep seeing doctors until you get the help u need
glad to see you are doing better =) I left a comment about my experience with SVT on your old video. I had the ablation done in 2006 at age 16. I had severe case of SVT - episodes 4/5 times a week. Alot of trip to the ER, doctors etc. Was a junior in HS at the time. Alot of my episodes started when I was bending over like you mentioned or yawning for a prolonged yawn. I have only met a small percentage of people who have told me they have episodes that begin when they bend over and get back up. Nice to see we are not alone. I had stop playing sports for months and things I loved which sucked but I ended up being fine. The ablation changed everything instantlty,. I felt better right after. Never had another episode again. Its a terrifying experience . I do suffer even now at the age of 30 from " cardiophobia" from that time when I had the SVT. Even over a decade later, it still is in the back of my head quite often. I have a bad anxiety disorder which has not helped but. Therapy seems to be helping. I have met alot of other people through forums networking etc that have had SVT and it still gives theem anxiety even years later. I stay away from caffeine and stimulants. If you are still having episodes even not frequent, I do recommend the ablation.
How have you been doing now? You said no SVT at all since the ablation? I'm in the same boat suffered svt just got.my ablation two weeks ago but still extreme anxiety and cardiophobia, it's as controlling as the svt itself
I’ve had no SVT or episodes and the ablation was in 2006. I do suffer from anxiety tho and I was
Told from my psych and therapist that I have PTSD from the svt and I do suffer from
Cardio phobia but if you’re only a few weeks or months after the ablation it’s still fresh and it will get better . I can’t have caffeine if I have a lot of caffeine my HR will spike .
Hope you’re doing well !!
I like your Gandalf-like disclaimer! Thank you for the video. You are smart not to get an ablation or get on the drugs. Ablations just damage the heart and will lead to more problems and later you will need a pacemaker. Drugs also damage the heart and weaken it. I have svt's and they sometimes lead to afib attacks and I've had 3 afib attacks in 4 years. I was freaked out on my first attack and so when my doctor put me on metropolol I felt I had to do it. 3 years later I had my 3rd afib attack and he wanted to put me on even more dangerous drugs and start doing ablations and that's when I said hell no and started looking for natural cures and I weened off of the metropolol. That was when I realized metropolol wasn't doing anything for me at all. Magnesium and potassium has helped me greatly as well as taurine and arginine, but I still have svt moments so now I'm starting the routine of taking of deep breaths and holding it several times a day as I read that cured one dude's svt's.
Thank you for this video. I have SvT it's been a few years since I have been to the cardiologist. I noticed it after I got pregnant Years ago. Breath work has helped. Regardless of my heart beating really really fast I focus My breath 468. Breathe in for 4 hold for 6 breathe out 8 seconds. I do this about 10 times in a row and it slowly starts bringing my heart rate down.
The way medical staff ALWAYS understates the effects of adenosine disturbs me to the Nth degree. “ it will feel weird”, if anyone had given me this before I watched so many of these videos I’m afraid somebody would be in the ER and somebody would be in jail. And with the history of SVT back in the mid late 70s, fortunately they were not using this drug yet at least not widely. Thanks to videos like these. I now have the information. Also, there is plenty of literature about diltiazem being just as effective without that horrific side effect. I don’t know why there are not more videos about that. Hope you are well.
Aileen, Just finding your videos now. My lovely 6 year old daughter just had her first SVT episode last week and we ended up in the ER not knowing what was going on. It is nice to see other people that are dealing with this, especially a young woman. I feel sad that she has to deal with this, but we are at the beginning and aren't sure how serious it is just yet. I hope you continue to be well, God bless.
Erin - Try having your daughter lay flat on the floor as soon as she starts having another episode (hopefully a long time from now!). This is what makes my heart go back to normal quickly. Relaxing is key too. I’ve had this condition for 20 years (since I was 16), and it has not affected my life in any negative way. Good luck!
@@crystalandbensloane1842 thanks so much! I will definitely do what you advise next time, also hopefully not anytime soon, great to hear you have not had any negative impacts, I feel more hopeful now.
Just started getting these darn things. Lol. I believe it’s the upper gut. Where the vagus runs near the top of the gut. I think it’s inflammation that will cause the signals to the heart to get mixed. I’m going to figure this out. I usually feel indigestion or heart burn kinda. Love caffeine lol, and I know that can trigger Gerd. I think spices n high fats too can aggravate it.
I think you are so right.
You might be on to something bro. I also noticed the indigestion or burping some times when I get an episode. Definitely try to stay away from the caffeine though and spicy stuff. Good luck
I totally agree with this. I had a SVT attack a couple of days ago. I just saw my GI doc today about my stomach causing this attack and I told him the same thing but of course he just brushed it off and told me to continue to take my reflux medication.
There are a few things to get SVT under control. SVT is typically triggered by high blood pressure from the heart to the brain. 1) The whole body heart squeeze for 3-5 seconds twice. This works for me 3/4 of the time. If you know you are dehydrated try 2) Drink 2 large glasses of water. 3) As Aileen said blow on you thumb and give a big lung/heart squeeze for 3 seconds and repeat in 5 seconds. This helps expand constricted blood flow to heart. I do this if the whole body squeeze doesn't work. 4) Massaging the sides of neck with both hands was first told to me, but rarely works for me. 5) Measure you HR on your cell phone enough to know when it's beating rapid (180-310 BPM, typically 190-210, rarely 290-310) and be conscious of the techniques. Root causes are often over caffeination with dehydration, and for some professions anxiety/racing thoughts can raise the BP to the brain. Slow deep breaths are good to slow down whatever you were mindfully worrried about, let it go, be present and just breath. Excuse yourself from meetings where appropriate. Getting adenosine at hospital as ER visit can be a next step, albeit not ideal in repeat cases, as they might want you to stay a day, which causes a few thousand dollars in medical bills each time. See your PCP right away and you will likely be given a heart monitor for 30-45 days, but learning how to self-trigger fixes for SVT with water and whole body/lung squeeze can resolve SVT very quickly to typically under 100 BPM right away that drops to normal over the next 5-60minutes. Great video Aileen, thanks for sharing. My nurse at the
Thank you for this feed back
@@tomeekabritt5537 I has a rotator cuff issue and was put on tabs of methyl prednasone. This in turn as steroid triggered Repetitive SVT 3-5×/ week. Don't ever take orally. Went to ER 3x for racing heart I couldn't control. Had SVT surgery via day surgery (thermal laser ablation) to stop the extra electrical signal in my heart since then. No episodes since then 6 plus mo ago. Recovery is 5 days rest Minimàl stairs. If you're àn Apple user get iWatch 7 with heart monitor. It can send àn EKG to your practitioner, as well monitor BP and HR. Peace and good luck with this.
I have low blood pressure...
Thank you for your feed back! I will try my best to keep my blood pressure down to minimize or completely stop SVT episodes. Really good tips!👍🏼
Magnesium will help lower BP, just moderate sodium intake as well. Need to heed own advice consistently.
OMG!!! I think i have svt as well. I thought it was afib but what your describing is the same experience. Im 50 years old. Ive had this when i was in my early teens and still experiencing them now at 50. I get the episodes a few times a year. Didnt know what the hell i was experiencing when i was having it.
Thanks for the video and sharing I was diagnosed a couple months ago and it’s weird because what triggered it was after bending over and coughing at the same time when I got up my heart was racing pretty fast 250+ hpm I went in to emergency room it was wild because it took 3 doses of this crazy drug that hurts your entire body horrible to finally lower it anyways .... finally last week I had an ablation and everything went good just a lil sore I hope this fixed it because I don’t want to ever experience that ever again thanks for sharing and I hope everyone with this can all be cured and not have to go through this . ✌️I can’t recommend the ablation because I just got the procedure done last week but from what I’ve read this cures the svt which is way better then dealing with episodes cuz that can cause damage to the heart good luck
You are one of the brave ones. To go through the ablation just months after being diagnosed. I salute you. Did it work for you ? I chose the other route which is medication & for the most part it helps but have recently been contemplating ablation since the episodes still occur. I also heard there’s this new drug that might come out called etripamil nasal spray which kind of works like an inhaler for ppl with asthma. So to anyone suffering from this also there’s definitely options out there. Good Luck
Hello was the ablation succesful a year on ?
I've had little bouts of SVT for my whole life, they run in my family, but they were so few and far between that it was never diagnosed because the doctors never caught it even on a heart monitor. It would usually only last 10 minutes and like you said it's like it skips a beat and then just goes.
In my second trimester of pregnancy it started happening a few times a week instead of a few times a month. In week 23, I had an episode of 170+ for over 3 hours and ended up in the ER. I was falling, dizzy, heavy headed, heart clenching, back hurting. I couldn't get through a sentence without stopping for breath. They almost gave me adenosine but it went back to normal on it's own. They put me on Metoprolol and I went home. Went back 2 more times that weekend and they put me on Flecainide too which can be really dangerous and there's so little research during pregnancy.
The medicine makes it so it doesn't last hours on end but I'm still getting them 4-5 times a day at 24 weeks pregnant. Baring down, ice on the face, massages, coughing, gagging, none of it works. I just have to wait. I feel that the doctors aren't taking it seriously, they're scheduling appointments for 2 weeks out instead of squeezing me in or sending me elsewhere. No one has been in contact with me, I'm having to push every appointment and meeting.
My body is so tired and my heart is so sore. I don't know that I'll make it to 40 weeks and I really need to see my damn OB so we can make a plan.
This whole thing sucks
Hey i also have SVT and my first episode was when i was about seven, I was running the mile in PE and then suddenly I felt my heart skip a beat and I felt it pulse it my head. I just thought I was exercising too hard and I stopped running but then my PE teacher noticed me and told me to keep running but I told him that I was having trouble breathing and then my heart was running very fast and he put his hands on my neck and immediately got worried and sent me to the nurse, when I got there they check me up and put a stethoscope on my chest and found that my heart was beating at 250 beats per minute. They sent me down on the beds they had for about 10 minutes and finally a hardship another beat and it went back to normal. The next week or so I went to the doctor and they told me I had SVT and that I had three options, they said I could wait it out, getting ablation, or take medication. By the time I was super stressed and scared of surgery so I didn't get the surgery or the medication because I thought that if the medication didn't work then the next step that I would have to take was the surgery so I just let it go. I waited it out for about five years, and finally we went back to the cardiologist and I got medication. The medication has been working super good and I only have episodes of Every like 2 to 3 months, and they only last like 2 minutes. But as soon as I get the episode I lay on a couch or a chair or anyting and lay my head down while I buddies up and make all the blood rushed to my head and that usually makes the SVT stop I don't think I'm going to get an ablation because it's so rare and I'm starting to get used to it not happening. I hope everyone that has SVT can get the right medication and get through this.
OMG same here! Picking up something off the flr! yeah and lack of sleep was the latest trigger! yeah not taking meds and not keen on having ablation either... keep on taking my Mg supplements and breathing/mindfulness ex during an episode keeps me safe and sane... panic never helps!
thanks for sharing
Mg? Magnesium?
I'm on metoprolol now. Recently diagnosed less than a week ago. I need to lose 60 lbs trying to learn my triggers. I have already had 6 attacks. Thank God all of them were in the hospital during the time I was first diagnosed.
I’m on metoprolol 12.5 mg daily but it isn’t enough. If you don’t mind, how much do you take? Does it help?
Thank you for discussing this. I also have this but not often, maybe twice a year (since I was 11 I am now 60) I can just be sitting still and it kicks off. I see that yours seems to start when you bend over well that is how I stop mine by bending over I think it’s to do with the vagal nerve.
hi I would appreciate if you can tell me how did you managed yours
im 30 healthy i have one episode in a year..
i pray to god so that these episodes stops completely..
I have discovered this condition called Wolf Parkinson's White syndrome which is a rare disorder. It can be congenital. Doctors prescribe patients an anti-arrhythmic medicine called diltiazem that helps stabilize heart rhythms, relax blood vessels which help blood flow more easily so your heart doesn't have to work as hard.
Wow yours sounds like it very light. Mine can run for weeks.
Metoporol is Wonderful!!
My SVT attacks are ALWAYS when I’m at rest. Has anyone else experienced that?? I’m getting cardiac ablation done 12/23 so I’m hoping that helps.
I only get mine at rest as well !
Yes same. It’s always at night as I settle in to relax and watch something. My last episode lasted for hours. I was recently diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, so it was assumed that was the cause. However, after iron infusions, I’m still having this problem weekly. Scheduling an appointment with a cardiologist asap. So appreciative of videos like this!
@@taustad23 same at rest
My last episode which is when I was diagnosed lasted 5 hours and then they pumped me with adenosine
Yes it SUCKS I'm always scared I had the surgery and it didn't help.
Stop your caffeine. It’s the only thing that has worked for me. I haven’t had an episode in months. Drink more water too, especially in the morning. Dehydration is a huge trigger.
How many cups do you drink in the morning
I still drink one cup in the morning but everyone has different triggers. I did quit drinking alcohol just for overall heart health tho. Where I get into trouble is when I'm dehydrated and I have coffee. @@sheelawal7616
I take a clean diet? I am taking metroprolol. In the beginning makes me sleepy that's it. 50mg a day.No caffeine.

Hii, do you get PVC’s? Mine all started with frequent PVC and then this one time had a PVC which turned into SVT. SOOOO SCARY! X
I'm 21 And Been Going Through this for almost 7 year now i have a Up coming Appointment with a Dr But I'm not sure if I go for Surgery or Medication Still Confused Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I really want an ablation svt makes my life an anxious nightmare :(
I have Atrial Tachacarydia with SVTS
I’ve been having SVT for about 13 years now and what works for me is when I lay on my back and put my legs ups in the air and just wait.
When I get an attack I feel this very tightening uncomfortable feeling around my neck.
Some trigger situations I remember are: bending over to pick something up, turning my head very quickly, throwing a ball, start running... and sometimes just sitting or walking. Last time I had an attack was yesterday while i was hiking after bending down to pick something up. This time it lasted 20 minutes, usually they lasted 5 minutes.
I agree that intermittent fasting with SVT was the best, least symptomatic period of my experience with SVT. During that brief period however I had another prolonged event and landed in Urgent Care (4th time this year) and they put me back on ATENOLOL (beta blocker) and since I've just became a "sick" person. I too like to exercise and the first time that I pushed it just a little on a hike I about passed out in the park and limped home two miles and it just cranked my 'fear of living meter' into red. I felt depressed, tired and have gained a lot of weight. Sitting down with my new cardiologist I learned that I have PAT which he described as somewhat rare and more difficult to ablate. Thursday (May 28, 2020) I underwent ablation surgery but my Dr. was unable to induce an event even though in his words, "You ran a marathon under anesthesia". I am crushed. If there is any good from this, and I am struggling at the moment to find anything, I got direct evidence that I have a strong heart and, I'm off beta blockers!!! You have no idea how much I dislike that drug. Tomorrow, (cuz I just want to experience life without drugs for a few days) I will begin taking DILTIAZEM CD. Fingers crossed.
Can you tell how u can stay calm in your episode. For me I can’t stay calm. What u should recommend me to stay calm?
Thats my problem too !
Dose anyone's head hurt alot with it
I just kinda lay down or sit down and let it pass for mine. I’ve had it since 5th grade that I know of.
I wished it would have worked for me. They tried pretty much everything at the ER, including self technique and b-blockers, it worked only with Adenosine. It was horrible. Take care.
Lipaz Dotan your comment makes no sense. I am not on meds. I can’t for mine because of where mine is. Mine would be worse
Can you record the sound of your heart beat when these episodes occur?
I have tried all of these, I have had svt for 8 years and in still a teenager. I have these palpitations everyday. My heart rate goes between 270 to 350 for about 45 minutes at least three times a day, I don't think people understand how difficult it is!!
Are you sure you wouldn't be dead if it went to 350
@@gemmaeden8486 that's what you get with svt tho!! 😂 It feels crap
Get the ablation
Even since i started having SVT i cant work out as hard as i used to because it always happens during my resting in between my sets.
