Living with SVT Without Worries
Heart Rhythm Conditions | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (21)Comment receiving replies
Last night I had another SVT episode.
I caught it all in Apple phone memory.
At 22:12:10 my heart started going up.
22:12:30 my BPM triggered my gentle phone alarm chime that I set at 110 bpm threshold.
22:12:40 my BPM peaked at 127
22:22:50 I had heard the alarm (both soft audible and haptic) at 22:12:30 but it took me 20 seconds to clear my thoughts and begin the Valsalva maneuver
22:13:10 all back to normal and back to sleep. My wife beside me never even woke up.
Once more, my personal opinion is that I prefer doing this occasionally as opposed to medication or ablation. It does not cause me anxiety. But that's me......
Products used:
Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Health App,
Smoky Cat Heart Graph app. (for the alarm and display graphs)

I have had SVT since my 20’s (70 now). I get it 6-8 times per year…99% of the time while exercising. I take Inderal at the time and it typically resolves in 20/60 minutes. I just learned about the Revert procedure ( you can google it). It is a valsalva variation and I have used it 6 times now and it has worked 100% every time. I do it within minutes of onset and haven’t needed any medications. I am feeling liberated. I will see if I can attach the article. Apparently it is used in many Emergency Depts on patients w SVT.
