Svt and exercise - is it safe?

What my doctor  has told me with my SVT is that I am not at risk for a heart attack, not at risk for death and my heart is not bad( no heart failure or heart disease). It's just that the electrical system is messed up. It won't kill you. I had started having  SVT rarely to more frequent. That is why I had an ablation and it corrected the SVT. My cardiologist wanted and wants me to exercise! 

I was in the ER 4 x last year with SVT . If you drink caffeine - stop! Stress is not good either but who doesn't have stress? 

When I had my ablation, they found 4 other abnormal rhythms.i am on medication. Have changed my medication twice. If this current medication doesn't work, I might have to have another ablation for atrial tachycardia. I would recommend you get with a cardiac electriohysiologist about having an ablation if you are having a lot of episodes. I also had a loop recorder inserted under the skin  , at my chest area, to record  at all times what is going on in my heart .  It can stay in for 3 years. I had that put in in December. I don't think exercise brings on SVT,but if you findyou have palpitations after exercise you might ease up a bit to see what would be comfortable for you. 

My doctor has told me over and over again that the SVT will not damage the heart at all and that it just makes you feel really bad when it's happening and it won't cause a heart attack or death. How long do you think you will have to wait? I know how you feel about it not being good for the heart- but as long as I won't die or have a heart attack with it, I'm okay. I have been sitting in my sofa and it would start suddenly and lasted 2 hours and just suddenly went away. I was going to exercise 3 days a week but stopped for awhile as I was having some palpitations afterwards. I am starting back slowly. I didn't drive For a while because I had some episodes that I thought I was very dizzy and thought I was going to pass out. I was afraid I was going to wreck my auto and kill myself or someone else. I had to call an ambulance to pick me up. 

Try drinking a cold glass of water

Try bearing down, sometimes that will stop it. 

Plenty of info available online, Eddie.  If your physician turns you loose exercise wise, I'd encourage you to keep such a fine routine going.  Should keep your heart strong, could help you emotionally, and might even be fun. The kind of exercise you're doing is definitely a health and longevity promoter.  I wish the very best for you.

Eddie, 

I have always exercised many times a week but I have gone in to SVT several times during strenious exercise. It's weird, some times it doesn't affect me but other times it does. I have given up everything but long walks the last year because of going into svt during exercise and having to go to the hospital for the dreaded adenosine. One of the reasons I want the ablation is so I won't have to be afraid to exercise any longer. As for it damaging your heart, my doctor said it can depending on your age and how long the attacks last. I was told not to let it go on for more than 20 minutes. I am 65, so I'm sure that is why. My heart rate will go over 200 bpm.
