I am just starting to deal with a racing heart in the last week. I have seen my cardiologist and am wearing a monitor right now. @opiestrer This discussion is so helpful and I am very grateful for your efforts.

Aseneth,
Glad you asked.
I did the holter thing also.
What you want to hear from your primary doctor and cardiologist is the word “benign.”
If you don’t get that word, like I did, then my experience will not align with your symptoms.
The cardiologist will offer pills or surgery if you have PSVT and your condition is not “benign.”
The cardiologist will also offer pills or surgery if the racing heart is PSVT and “benign” because that is what cardiologists do in trying to make you comfortable.
In my case, I can stop my racing heart in short order by well practiced valsalva manuever. SVT occurred twice last night, but no big deal in my case.
In all cases, use good judgment and get lots of opinions!
