I am 17 years old and recently got diagnosed with SVT in June, I got out on 1.25 Bisoprolol and they have given me extreme side effects like breathlessness and feeling faint and tiredness etc and I think maybe even a loss of appetite. I am wanting to come off of these and manage SVT on my own as I am only young and otherwise healthy what should I expect?

    Hi, Dont come off it without seeing your doctor of you may get an unplanned visit to hospital. See your doctor, who may give additional or change your medication.

    When my heart beat hit 240 beats per minute I went down like a ton of bricks and woke up 3 days later in ITU. Good luck and stay safe smile

      They wanted to stop and start my heart, my CO2 levels when through the floor. I was then intubated.

    Came home from work feeling fine. 30 minutes later I was in an ambulance with a chest that felt like brocken egg shells. A month after ITU, I had a heart ablation that was back in May 16. Just have high BP now with a pulse of 60bpm.

    I had VT with a flutter. They found 3 rythems that were wrong. 2 were sorted and the 3rd is being treated with Bisoprolol.
