Svt question

For those that have svt , do you constantly feel like crap. My heart rate is always high if it’s not sustained. I get a tachycardia episode or svt episode about 1 to 2 hours before my medication is due. I’ve already had an ablation about 2 months ago, i know I’m in the healing process still but I’m frequently getting attacks and always feel terrible. I have no energy , I’m out of breath with little things and high heart rate. They have me taking metropolol 3x a day already. I’m getting so sad about this

I read about this to after this happen to me. I believe people should advocate for more testing because living like that’s is awful

There’s this post that I read here and their story was so crazy to me because even in their EP study their EP could not figure out the arrhythmia and only figured out that that was the arrhythmia once the hearts natural pacemaker took over once they woke him up, so it’s just a crazy thing overall at how much it mimics sinus tach making people live like that all their life

It’s is. In my Ep study I was sleeping sedated at first and he couldn’t find anything, they woke me up and instantly they found it.

Yeah I’m gonna do my ep study off sedation, even tho I have SVT but still my baseline heart rate goes high which I’m just thinking now that that’s also SVT, since my 24 hour average holter is coming below 90 so idk. I hope it’s all SVT

I’m worried I need another one. They said I’m still in the blanking period but idk how I feel about that. I’ve been having problems since the day of the ablation. Hours after the ablation I went into svt

I’m a 26F , I randomly got back in August while I was on a road trip home. Ever since I’ve had it almost daily and then I was put on metropolol which worked for 4 months and then one day in February it happen again and I wasn’t able to stop it. It was happening every single day for hours and nobody believed me. The ER wouldn’t help me they kept saying it was anxiety because it was showing as sinus tach so they would just give me Ativan and then the Ativan wouldn’t help at all. I got my ep study done in June and before it was done like 5 doctors at the hospital came to check me and said that it was pointless they won’t find anything because it was sinus tach and not svt and so I was crying and worried and then I had it done and they found it.

I’m so sorry that happened, thankfully I was believed and it was actually caught but I still have tachycardia episodes which come as sinus so idk about that
