Hi…
I am 70 and have had SVT since my 20’s. Mine is always triggered by exercise and I get it about 6 times a year. I take inderal when it starts and it usually lasts 20-40 minutes. I have to sit or lay down while I am in it. I am seen by a cardiologist and recently saw an electrophysiologist. Definitely worth seeing the electrophysiologist, confirming the diagnosis, and having a plan to manage it. Ablation may be an option. No have chosen not to have an ablation as it is rare and responds to inderal. Unlike PAT, SVT does not out you at risk for stroke.

I have had it since my twenties. Iam now 78. I notice with mine that when Iam not active I will notice it more. If I get active my heartbeat will often smooth out.
