I have a certain type of SVT. It sucks. I’ve blacked out in Gander mountain and a few other places before. I started out taking atenolol, but it was horrible to me. It made me gain weight, caused me to be tired all the time, tons of side effects. Next they put me on bystolic. It did not have a generic form. Bystolic was $300 a month I believe and my insurance would not cover it. That went on for a while until it’s side effects started getting worse. So I opted to get seen to have an ablation done. I got approved for it but I would’ve had to pay my yearly deductible before they would do it, which was 3500. So I said nope. Now I’m not on any medication, just living with it. Mine seems to be worse at night. My biggest piece of advice would be that when it starts, take a very deep breathe in and flex your chest as hard as you can while holding your breathe. This works to stop it with me around 85% of the time. It seems like stress and being tired makes mine worse. My heart rate will get to 200 BPM and my heart will beat so hard that my shoulders shake like Ray Charles going through withdrawals. And when it comes on, it does it over and over for hours with no relief.
Good luck, I know it sucks.

Good luck, I know it sucks. This sounds a lot like mine.... they’ve monitored me 7 times to see where to do the ablation and can’t find the bad nerve. Mine also always happen at night and as coach buck said are worse on days I have sugar or caffeine. Heck I even quit dipping.

I’m down to 80bpm now. Thanks a ton!! That's even below my normal resting heart rate. I guess I was born with tachycardia. I'm usually running 90-100 bpm without any effort.

I had every test imaginable done but they FINALLY caught it. Now if I can ever afford it I’ll have it done.

Alcohol and dehydration will start it up also. Pretty sure dehydration is what started it last night. It’s so weird you mentioned that. Yesterday I forgot my water for work. I usually drink 4 bottles through the day and I didn’t have any. I never caught up. I only drink alcohol about once a month.

My daughter was delivered premature due to SVTs she was 2months preemie and her heart rate when she was born was 340bpm!!! it wasnt pumping it was quivering. She stayed in the NICu for 52 days they shocked her a couple times to get it back in normal rhythm. adenosine and digoxin were the meds she was on there and they swapped her to flecanide and now she is home and doing fine with 3 doses of flec a day. Scary stuff. But like someone said try and vagle yourself, sometimes that can shock the heart into rhythm. Even dunking your head into ice water or ice packs on your face can help. But holding your breath and straining can help.
It isn't necessary to see a good tackle...you can hear it.

She's doing much better she was basically in full cardiac arrest and hydropic because she was in it in utero. They didn't even weigh her they popped 2 chest tubes in and put her on ventilator and put her in NICU. It was tough seeing her like that but she is wide open now and tougher than superman's knee cap.
