I have Supraventricular Tachycardia and Mitral Valve Prolapse (minor) added to a severely enlarged left atrium (they said this may be caused by all the running I did during my life). My heart rate used to soar up above 100 for no reason (my resting rate is typically in the 50's) and I couldn't catch my breath. Now I take Diltiazem each day and that helps. I also try to not get my heart rate above 130 when I exercise. I still cannot talk when I'm walking up a hill. My father, who passed away from heart failure, had A-fib and the docs believe it's coming my way so my cardiologist inserted a loop recorder near my heart. I've had it for almost two years and nothing worrisome has been recorded, I'm wondering whether I can have it removed?

Hi @susikelley,

I am curious to hear how did you find out? Which kind of test was relevant? I posted my story at the end of this thread and I feel that I might be having this.
