Dana, you seem to be 1 of very few on this site that has had a true Ventricular Tachycardia diagnosis, and not SVTach. My full diagnosis is Idiopathic Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia. I read many of the comments on Heart Rhythm and Pacemaker/ICD support groups, but the majority pertain to AFib and I am not sure how applicable they are to my condition. I am a 67yr male and had received an ICD 12 weeks ago. I do not have any serious underlying heart condition, so the cause is unknown. I am on Flecainide and have not had any VTach episodes since the implant. I have been ramping up physical activity (yard work, gym, hiking, trail maintenance) and almost back to previous level. However, I still get anxious about more strenuous activities, both about the physical ICD and leads, and concern that I will trigger the VTach. I have been looking for more members with similar conditions to mine to compare notes and concerns. Any advice?
