I am 74 years old and have SVT. I have had it for years. Recently experiencing long episodes of 115 bpm . Can’t seem to get them under control. I have a heart monitor on for a 7 days. Not sure if stress is making it last all day.

Are you taking any supplements or prescription drugs? The timing may be key here if it's either one of those...when you take it, when it enters your system in a sufficient concentration, and then it has the effect. Or, it's an activity....maybe a diurnal/cyclic hormone like somatotropin, maybe its a wonky thyroid. There are literally scores of 'triggers' that people report and swear sets them off at least 60% of the time.
Have you had your magnesium levels checked? Potassium and sodium? They are key for proper heart rhythm.
