Is it SVT? I don’t know what’s happening

Posted , 5 users are following.

for the past couple months i have been pretty unwell. a couple times my heart has gone crazy beating fast and hard causing me to get dizzy, legs shaking and a cold poisonous sensation runs through my body. To give a little insight, i went to the hospital with chest pains and palpatations november 30th and ive had symptoms ever since. i have been dizzy, weak and struggling with day to day life. last night i had maybe 2 hours of sleep before a heart rate of 150 woke me up. a horrible cold poison feeling ran through me and i was shaking and thought i was dying. i just had a nap and it happened again but this time it was 110. why is this happening to me?

    Hi , I can feel your pain. I had the same experience. Initially it had happened in my sleep and then almost anytime without any notice. I had ablation done twice. Second one was done in February 2019. Since then, I am much better. Please see a cardiologist and discuss about next step.

    Same thoughts here, Sinead. Please see a cardiologist as soon as you can. There's a good chance that you'll be told that you can be successfully treated and leave this nasty stuff behind. When that happens, you may well experience a remarkable improvement in your quality of life. I wish the best for you.
