Newly Diagnosed SVT and on Metropolol.

I had increasingly worse SVT symptoms and had ablations July 2025 and February 2026. Flecainide and metroprolol made symptoms worse, causing bradycardia and tachycardia with long pauses, so I stopped them and felt much better. Third ablation in March was extensive but it really helped. I'm trying to build back my strength though it's a slow process. Still have some mild symptoms. I highly recommend vagal maneuvers.

@dugroad Thank you for sharing this. My cardiologist told me that I am nowhere near ablation. I wish you well in your strength recovery. I have acquaintances that have had ablation done and fully recovered. I am hoping these SVT's can be controlled with the meds I am on now. I am definitely incorporating vagal maneuvers too. They seem to help. Thank you again.
