Yes I’ve been to 2 different electrophysiologists. The first one dismissed me and said I have anxiety. My cardiologist sent him my holter report. He said he didn’t see anything on the report. I called my cardiologist to confirm my SVT result. Then the second electrophysiologist put me on another holter for a month. I’m on medication now, so I had no tachycardia. When I went back for my follow up at the electrophysiologist he dismissed me, too. He said my holter showed nothing. I’m explained my symptoms, and he told me to get an Apple Watch and self monitor

@julie0309 Do it. Please. This will place him/her in the position of 'put up or shut up.' Your bran' spankin' new smart watch will be able to record an arrhythmia if you tell it to....and you'll know because you're symptomatic. So, it begins to record when you make it record, and then you'll upload that record to your health app on your phone. From there, you send the file digitally via text/email to his/her office and it will be as clear as day...and inarguable.

If this is all too much for you, at least learn to make the watch take the reading. From there, a helpful grandchild or neighbour will walk you through all it takes to get the file onto your tablet/computer, and from there how to get it to the EP's office. I'm sure you can see that this places the EP in a position out from which he cannot squeeze. Or, it will show YOU that whatever you are sensing, real or spurious though it may eventually prove to be, that it isn't actually an arrhythmia...at least not one that your watch is programmed to detect.

If you would not like to get a watch, or just to have to wear one, there are the Kardia devices and Oura and other smart rings that are quite effective.....if you can stand to wear one of those instead. You do have options.
