I have dealt with SVT for about six years . I gradually had them more often and now take Cardiazem daily and whenever I can’t physically maneuver it to stop; I take Verapamil . I know exactly when it is happening . I don’t let it worry me as I follow up with my Cardiologist . It allays a lot of anxiety.

Franie,
Can you explain the symptoms you experience when you are aware of SVT? Dizziness? How fast is your heart rate? For now long? How long do you try to maneuver it, as you say? What method(s) do you use? Any episodes while you are sleeping that wake you up?
Thanks for your reply. I've never had the opportunity to talk to fellow SVT'r before like I can do here. I am very curious about the tips and suggestions you and others are giving. The cardiologist is primary of course, but hearing from others is helpful.
