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.

Slw7252,

I have 6.3 SVT episodes per month.

See attached PDF.

Some are during day and some are at night.

I am very quick at night when my Apple watch wakes me up with the SVT alarm beeping (my wife wakes too) but I quell it and we both go back to sleep. I have learned to do my valsalva maneuver while prone.
During the day I sense the SVT about 30 seconds before I get the Apple watch alarm. I do the valsalva immediately, while standing or sitting.
