Started with a little shock
Posted , 6 users are following.
I had my SVT day before yesterday after exercise session , lasted for 30 seconds. However when it started i felt like a small current passed from brain to heart. Does everyone feel the same ? I have SVT symptoms since 2 years but havent been doagnosed because by the time i reach AnE , everything comes to normal. My all tests are good. Have been through CT angiogram, stress echo and brain CT. All these came out to be normal and doc says no n ed to worry. However i worry about cardiac arrest, as symptoms of CA is same as that of SVT. Am i over thinking ???... my wife had sleepless nights thinking about me and was really scared.
Is my anxiety making it worse, i always keep on thinking that i will have SVT now or then...

I recently posted this somewhere here recently but you can buy a Polar chest strap for about $80 and capture all your heart beats on your phone and see any SVT attacks. I even ran it all night one time and saw some attacks, but fortunately mine are individual episodes and the cardiologist explained in this case they don't recommend any additional treatment, other than I am on 50mg beta blocker. Polar even has a newer strap that fits arm or wrist.

I was on fleccanide and am now on rythmol. Have not had any side effects at all. I agree that an ablation is best. They found a total of 5 abnormal rhythms when I had my ablation. The SVT was fixed but I have to be on medication to control the others. How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I think doctors don't like to put young people on Medication.

That "small current" could have been a jolt from stress hormones (adrenaline, etc.). I've experienced something like that many times with SVT onset. Most published info tells us that an otherwise healthy heart tolerates SVT quite well, and risk of cardiac arrest is low. Still, you, I, any many others are understandably frightened when our heart begins racing for no apparent reason.
I hope you'll be able to work well with your health-care people to find the best approach for you. There may well be an actual cure (ablation?) in your future. Please take the best of care of yourself.
