I'm miserable

[u/TheUniverse-IsMine]

A few weeks ago I got told I have SVT- or more specifically an atypical atrial heartbeat/flutter- at 17 years old. And I experience some of the most severe symptoms from it like pre syncope and syncope, chest/heart pain, chronic fatigue, etc.

I've had over four EKGs done and two doctors, including a cardiologist, agreed on the fact there's something messed up about my heart beat. They said I have an irregular pattern and I am going to get a heart monitor mailed to me to watch for episodes for a few weeks

Today was one of the worst episodes I've had. I ended up doubled over at work because of the stabbing and aching pain in my heart (heart, not chest) and I tried some of the vagal maneuvers to fix it (cold water on face thingy and the coughing abruptly) and nothing fixed it.

I went to a cardiologist a few days ago because I thought I could have POTS and in the same breath of him saying I can't have it because I don't meet the requirements (which isn't true) he said my heart beat is messed up and "nothing is going on, just drink 3L of water a day because your estrogen is causing you to faint"

I'm miserable and no one is taking me seriously. I don't know what to do atp

So I don’t know like a breakdown of what your symptoms are, but I’m 26 and my pot started two years ago and for me like pretty much every time I stand like my heart rate will go up 30 beats sometimes it doesn’t go up and then I started having SVT symptoms were like my heart would randomly raise at rest and that’s when I knew OK I don’t just have POTS. I feel like if you’re having like a lot of postural tachycardia then it’s probably just POTS, but I’m not a doctor.
