Does anyone in this group have SVT?

That’s interesting about the caffeine. I drink coffee in the morning. Only 2 cups but it has caffeine. I’m switching to decaf and see if it helps. My family doctor doesn’t think I need a cardiologist and I’ve been debating about that.

Definitely see a cardiologist, eventually possible that you will have more reason to see one, e.g. the arrhythmia can become more frequent or intense so important that you have a cardiologist who is familiar with your history.
AND I would be way more concerned about the right and left bundle branch block. If that is correct that both were noted on your monitor then that is very serious but rare to have both so maybe the diagnostics were unclear. But best to get a specialist to look at it.

I am so sensitive that I have even a problem with decaf. It still has some caffeine in it.
Another thing that has helped me is drinking water. I still am not up to the 8 glasses a day, but before drinking very little. I am really working on it. I have never drank much and my parents didn't either. My mom had alzheimers real bad. So I am doing all I can to avoid that. And I read that not enough water can affect your heart and also dementia.
If you are having heart issues, try eliminating the coffee and drink water. Of course, no colas, chocolate or anything else with caffeine. Mountain Dew has more than colas. Let us know what happens.
