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!

@opiestrer I just got results from the Holter monitor yesterday and hope to see a different cardiologist (than the one who ordered the test) who specializes in electrical matters next week. Again, you calm voice and very effective maneuvers have helped so much. Thanks again.
