@lakehappy Welcome to this group! Vtach - Ventricular Tachycardia - is discussed here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ventricular-tachycardia/symptoms-causes/syc-20355138. About 2-3 weeks after my septal myectomy, I developed dizziness and giddiness which was eventually diagnosed as arrhythmia, do not know if it was labeled Vtach. I acquired Buddy, my ICD, problem solved. Have you been diagnosed with HCM? Are you under care at a COE (Center of Excellence)? Have you an electrophysiologist (a cardiologist who specializes in the electrical functioning of hearts)? Please do follow up and please keep us updated as you progress along this heart journey.

@walkinggirl thanks yes I have HOCM was diagnosed in 2015. Started Camzyos in 2023. Have had afib and had ablation. Also have COPD. Recently breathing quickly became worse and exhaustion set in. Wore a monitor and that’s when the vtach showed up.
I’m worried about getting zapped by an icd.
I’m being referred to a electro doctor,
I’m not at a Center for Excellence but am with a great cardio team with expertise with HOCM
