Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

I’m Tracey and I’ve never posted as part of a group before. Just desperate for support and understanding about my recently diagnosed SVT. I just came across this when researching what is triggering my newly diagnosed SVT suddenly. Started very mildly in Jan 26. Wore holter monitor for week and caught some irregularities. Took couple months to see cardiologist at end of April. During this time episodes very infrequent and didn’t last long. I barely noticed and told Doctor that. The cardiologist switched my blood pressure medication around same time I had viral infection and my PCP put me on steroids. I ended up in ER five days later on May 27. Heart racing non-stop for hours, sky high BP and anxiety like crazy. ER did all the tests and doctor said my heart was ok and that steroids triggered very bad SVT. Said should feel better once steroids out of my system. Few days later I started to feel better. Still had episodes but not all the time and not as bad until the past five days. it picked up Sun evening and got bad enough that I’m having trouble sleeping. I’m so tired. Been like this for days. I’m mostly good during day while at work but in the evening when I lie down it cranks up. I’m sure the stress/anxiety it is causing me doesn’t make it better. I also realized that some other medications i recently started might trigger so I’m going to try stopping them as well as going back on my previous BP med. It is just so frustrating and my cardiologist isn’t very responsive (only saw him the one time in end April) so I might be looking for another one. After reading some posts, I realized that I too had Covid in Dec 25 and this started about a month later. My heart just feels like it is going to jump out of my chest at times and my chest is sore as it can last for hours. Last night it was happening for several hours before I finally fell asleep but only slept about four hours then up again. Does anyone notice it happened more while lying down or at night? Hoping for some support and to not feel so alone and scared. My family tries but just doesn’t understand what this feels like and how disruptive it is. Thanks and Prayers!

I have questions about my paroxysmal AFib . I have an artificial aortic valve and a pacemaker. I have had afib attacks that sent me to the heart hospital over time, but recently two in six weeks. valve and pacemaker replaced two years ago. I also had a bad fall almost a month ago.
I have no appetite to speak of, wake up feeling weak. Before this fall and afib, I slept decently enough, and felt able to perform tasks etc with no problems.
What are the optimal sleep positions for afib? I now wake up several times a night and worry about getting the GEM sleep I need. I am experiencing no pain. first aortic valve replacement in 2006. No clogged arteries ever. Why can't I wake up feeling halfway good?
