Hi! New to this site. I have PSVT paroxomal Supra ventricular tachycardia. Had since I was 12. Had heart ablation at 44. Ablation caused PVCs and PACs but heart rate normal. I am a Physical Therapist a d have been vaccinated Pfizer. After 1st vaccine heart rate increased in 100s. 2nd vaccine HR 133bpm ended up in ER. ER MD reports that I am 553rd patient he has seen with waking up out of sleep with h racing HR. Went to new Cardiologist .as my regular one was no longer covered under my plan. New cardiologist did pre and post nuclear study of my heart and found nothing, no blockages and put me on 25 mg metoprolol twice a day and verapamil 120 mg. Took this metoprolol 25 mg twice a day with Verapamil 120 mg for 1 year. My hair started falling out, memory loss etc but heart rate under control. I am now being Weened off metoprolol from twice a day to once a day snd verapamil increased 240 mg and I am to do this for 2 weeks. Then ween to 12.5 mg metoprolol for two weeks then discontinue metoprolol. Just woke up snd HR 46-52 bpm. Prob due to increase of verapamil. Will be calling cardiologist today. Would welcome feedback and/or questions. I am only day 3 of initiating weening process. Thank you! God. Less!

This happened to my daughter with her first vaccine for covid, at night, had to call 911 an ambulance came and she regulated so did not go to the hospital, she passed out twice, very interesting to say the least.

Hi @bgp . I also woke up out of my sleep with my heart racing. It's very scary. How did it go with weening of this medication? I'm worried about side effects and also my heart racing again.
