Tachycardia

Sounds like you need to go see a decent cardiologist.....

Sounds like OP has already been to doctors, and they've given her anxiety meds and told her to go away. OP, have you seen an actual cardiologist? Have the doctors told you that exercise is unsafe for you? Another thing I would consider is making an appointment with a psychiatrist. Anxiety and fears over heart trouble go hand in hand, and too many people get ineffective and incomplete treatment for psychiatric issues from their general practitioner.

I would also suggest seeing a cardiologist. My mother had tachycardia, but she was older and needed a defibrillator to keep her heart in chexk. Her condition was seriously compromised however as she had had open heart surgery some years before and had congestive heart failure.

I know you're wanting to be more active but take care of yourself. I hope you get the answers you seek.

my mom has SVT also. she was prescribed a diet with ZERO caffeine and tons of water. she might end up with a pacemaker but so far, that has solved her issues.

I have had SVT for 20 years. It started in my second pregnancy and I too thought it would go away. It didn't. Supra ventricular tachycardia. About 8 years ago I had mitral valve repair open heart surgery. The valve repair was not for the SVT but I told the surgeon about it prior. He put me on a monitor for a couple weeks but said it was just rapid heart beat. The surgery didn't fix the SVT but it did fix the other problem I was having with the heart valve. The SVT continued and got so bad my heart would race for days. VERRRY uncomfortable. After a couple trips to the ER they said I could have the ablation (mentioned above) or take pills. I take diltiazem slow release 120 mg twice a day. My heart rhythm specialist doubled the dosage after a while because it wasn't working. The racing heart is very uncomfortable but not dangerous. I was hoping it would at least give me some calorie burn with that racing heart but no such luck. I t feels like you're running up a flight of stairs for hours on end

I should clarify-talk with your doctor about the vagal maneuver before attempting it. It doesn't necessarily work for everyone.

I did every trick in the book for years. I did the ice water head dive, held my breath while curling up and massaged my carotid arteries. When your heart is beating at 286 for hours you will do anything to get it to revert back to normal rthyum. I've had it all my life. I'm 53. Only the heart ablation stopped my SVT 286 heart rate. The meds were not for me as too many side effects caused problems. You seriously need to see a specialist cardiologist. They specialized in rthyums. I had 3 bad circuits. My cardiologist said he didn't even have to hunt them down because when he went in they jumped started tachy right away. Told me he didn't know how I had dealt with it for so long. I still have drop beats and little runs but haven't had the big run since my surgery. I wore many holter monitors and Echo and ekg's which were wild to see the look on the technicians face as they ran out of the hospital room. I've had adenacarb push through my vein that felt like my body was going to explode while I was literally unable to blink or speak as it felt like it blew out my feet. Very strange and scary stuff. The bottom line is you really need a specialist to help you. I urge you to keep pushing for definitive answers as to your exact problem. It is possible you may have other issues as well. I hope you find a very good cardiologist very soon. I understand how you feel. I went over 40 years not knowing what my problem was. I was told for years it was Mitral Valve Prolapse but it was really SVT.
