@jmarsh Hi. I had similar goings on. About 8 years of SVT. No drugs just amlodipine to bring down heart rate/blood pressure. Then I passed out right when one started as I got the drug. Hospital overnight observation for big lump on back of head. So no driving at that point. Ablation was only answer. It was scary waiting, got shingles from stress so another 3 week wait. EP created event, showed Afib and SVT. 6 weeks out, no issues at all but on Eliquis until EP clears me. On Holter monitor now looking for events of any kind. I have felt nothing. Happy it’s over no more SVT. And hopefully no Afib either. Oh , I have Factor V Liden blood issue evidently for my 79 years I wasn’t aware of is one reason he kept me on blood thinner til I get with a hematologist about that. Felt great in 2 days and on with my 79 yr old self. Just my situation, everyone had a different thought. Great info on this site.

@jrussfam
Thank you for sharing. I see the cardiologist in a couple of weeks, just had the requisite echo yesterday and waiting on the results. We'll see what he says, and I may look to you for more details if a strong case for ablation is made.
