Suspected SVT diagnosis, seeking advice

Absolutely, if I find anything else about it from myself or doctors I will let you know. VT sounds really scary- my heart is at least still pumping when it shoots up, how do you even stay conscious when it starts quivering? Well, either way, thank you. Sorry for the late responses to everyone, had a tough day today.

I only really have one ask- sometimes, when it goes up and stays up, my blood pressure gets close to the "hypertensive crisis" number online. Does that mean I definitely need to go to the ER, even if my BPM isn't too bad? Or can I just try to tank the damage and let it pass? I'm prone to headaches and don't want my brain to turn into fried liver one day. Either way, I'm blown away by your kindness to explain all this to me. I'm slowly starting to understand that if this many people have these issues and are being treated, then there can't be a lot of people who died waiting on it. The fear of dropping dead has been giving me a ton of panic attacks lately after all which only make things worse, and I only have so much atvian from the hospital to tank through it lol

Another approach is dysautonomia. Take B.P. standing/sitting/laying several times a day. That will help with POT diagnosis as well. Tilt table test might be telling. With my autonomic dysreflexia my pulse climbs to 200 and my blood pressure piggy backs with readings of 190/150 or so. Used to happen every other day but a rate responsive Pacemaker and the right meds now have me dumping at 70/40 and nothing helps. Life seems full of extremes.
Stay curious and engaged.
