Scheduled for ablation in two days for my SVT. sitting here pretty anxious as I had to stop my metoprolol this morning. Did you stop the med 48 hours before the procedure and did you have any trouble ????? So curious from someone with SVT on metoprolol.

@anjimlynch I too was petrified about the 48-hour metoprolol ban. My EP told me that if I had an SVT episode during that time, go to the ER of the hospital where the ablation was about to be performed and have the ER dr call my EP dr, as they would probably keep me there and just do the ablation the next morning. That was very reassuring.

Turns out I had zero issues tho, and just proceeded on to the scheduled ablation.

Wishing you the absolute best luck and success! I just reached the point where I am back to my former (before breakthrough SVT and higher-dose metoprolol) active self and it feels incredible!
