SVT & Ablation

wow 32 years 😩that’s awful

when I woke the other night at 2am with the palpations I was alone and terrified so I did the vascular manoeuvr and I had to do it a few times then lie on my couch legs in the air with my head hanging down then I splashed cold water in my face.. this worked but my goodness but it was stressful so I will definitely try what you said as that sounds a lot quicker and less stressful as the way I was shown to blow into a syringe then lie down legs up isn’t great if I’m out shopping or in the cinema 🤣
I’m really praying I can have the ablation as I want my life back… each night I worry about an SVT attack and each morning I worry I’m going to have one.. I think because my doctor said if I can’t get my heart rate down after a while I would have to phone for an ambulance and that scared me so much… thanks so much for advice at least I’m on alone xx

I have gained so much by reading things on this forum re heart rhythms.
I have SVT.
I have written much also. My advice to you is to
read everyone’s notes here. Talk to your doctors. And put into the mix the fact that there are some of us with SVT that accept it as our “normal “ and do not let it bother us as long as the valsalva maneuver quiets it fairly quickly.
