I have had two cardiac ablations and still experience PVCs and SVT daily. Any advice for coping with this? Ive seen DOZENS of cardiologists. Was on beta-blockers (those things were the devil). There seems to be no common denominator. When I wake up, after i eat, when i'm calm. The PVCs are incredibly uncomfortable and make me lethargic. I was told I will probably have to live with it. The SVT brings on anxiety, making the tachycardia even worse- resting heart rate for me is 110. Tachy makes it up to 180 even if I am laying down doing nothing! Would love to talk to someone who can relate! Im a 26 year old female and haven't found many people my age to talk to. Even if you arent my age, id love to talk to someone. The feeling is awesome, my whole body becomes drenched in sweat and I never know when it is problematic/not problematic.
