Rapid and erratic svt/Positional trigger

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi all, just wondering if anyones svt episodes have included both racing and erratic beats? Usually I only have rapid beats, but the episode I had today was both, and it really had me nervous : ( It felt so darn weird. I thought maybe I was experiencing something other than svt. Also it seemed to be triggered by a positional issue....ugh....havent had an episode in a year plus : (

    Changes in position can definitely trigger an episode! I haven't really experienced the "erratic" beats that you describe during an episode, but I do occasionally feel those kinds of beats at other times, especially at night. When I wore a holter, those were recorded as PACs.

      Thank you so much for your reply! I will try to record the next episode like that to see if they are PAC's ....
