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.

I’ve had a few more bad episodes and also my anxiety with this has stopped me sleeping so I’m getting no rest.. my doctor has wrote to the hospital to urgently get me an appointment to discuss ablation.. but in the meantime he’s put me on beta blockers to help and for the last 5 days they have made such a difference to my anxiety and the palpitations.. it’s a low does
So staying postive and very determined to get this ablation as I know 100% I will be back to my happy self soon x
Absolutely love theses groups as they help so much xx

Can I ask how many episodes you have in a month? I have 2-5. Ablation last July and began having episodes in October but they resolve immediately with valsalva maneuver. Not ready to undergo another ablation right now. 2 weeks ago was put on Metoprolol Er 25mg an Flecainide but am not sure about this route as I’m not liking how I feel on the meds.
