I am 60 y/o with 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren. I’m also the 8th of 12 children. I had my first Tachycardia episode in my 20’s. I saw a cardiologist who gave me vagal maneuvers to bring me back to normal rhythm which worked on the rare occasion I needed them until last year. Last year my episodes increased and the vagal maneuvers quit working. Each episode lasted 20-30 minutes and normal rhythm returned on its own. Despite extensive investigation in the past year and having an event monitor for 2 months, I hadn’t been able to record an episode so doctors could evaluate effectively. Last week, I got to ER immediately and now have a better understanding. It’s SVT, which likely will need ablation to correct. I’m looking forward to a solution.

What are "vagal maneuvers"? Have you tried meds to keep the heart in rhythm?
