@vjs003 thank you, yes I’ve done dome research and have eliminated some things from my diet. I don’t drink alcohol or coffee and have always drank decaf tea but I did stop eating other foods and drinks with caffeine. I’ve been taking magnesium supplements for years before bed. I will look into calcium. I’m not pre diabetic and try to limit sweets and sugar. I have had issues with sleep since I got sick 5 years ago and between that and stress of starting a new job I’ve been hit or miss with getting enough sleep. I’m trying but some nights the SVT makes it hard to relax enough to sleep. Look forward to what EP says and will ask for recommendations for me cardiologist now. Thank you.

@tlaun44 Welcome! And you are doing great! You are educating yourself about it. Also dehydration can bring on Heart SVTs. (Forgot to include that.) Also chocolate has caffeine in it. Your EP appointment will be here before you know it! And may you find a more caring cardiologist with an appointment that is more sooner than later, yes!

@tlaun44 My Cardiologist (Canada) gave ne 420 mg
Magnesium
along with 1 1/2 tabs of Metopolol 25 mg Am and PM
in Nov 2025 and I haven't had an AF episode since
and this is now end of July 2026. I am so happy. I take my Magnesium at bedtime as it relaxes me.
