Hello @mrm50,
I'd like to invite @marybird, @kmk66, @kate26, @dugroad, and @jpeters6930 to this discussion as they have all discussed being diagnosed with SVT and being prescribed different medications and metoprolol to help with their SVTs. They may be able to share a bit more about where they are now and what it felt like when first diagnosed.
@mrm50, when you say your symptoms were becoming more frequent, how often are you experiencing them? Have you noticed any particular triggers?

Good morning Justin. Thank you for reaching out. I used to have them once in a blue moon, but now they have become more frequent in the last couple of months to a daily basis. They happen at any time. I could be laying down resting, or walking, and sometimes at the gym while working out. They are short and brief, but 2 weeks ago I had longer lasting one that I ended up going to the ER. The doctor told me about natural vasovagal remedies but I am new to this and they feel alarming. They gave me a low dose Atenolol to start and after meeting with my cardiologist, they changed me over to Metropolol.
How do you cope with these episodes. I have been on these new meds for 3 days. Do the SVT's ever fully stop with the medications? Your advice and input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
