I'd like to respond to the messages of both Jackie and Chas D. I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia and have had 3 sinus node modifications and the third one slowed the rate dramatically. Still having problems sometimes. AV Node ablation was discussed but my EP was determined to avoid it. You are both welcome to email for my story. I've a LONG history of this complaint.

I am writing you to talk to you about the diagnosis of inappropriate sinus tachycardia. I have been having tachycardia for 6 years and have been unable to get an exact diagnosis. Would you please write back and tell me your story and symtoms. I am writing to get an opinion from the doctor on this board so if you want to read my story instead of me typing it twice, i wrote it on OCT14 under the name ChasD title "Inappropriate Sinus Tach,WPW,or Panic attacks" THANKS Any imfo is appreciated
Dear Jackir,
This is the last approach for this problem and leaves you completely reliant on a pacemaker to make your heart beat. I might consider a second opinion prior to considering this option. I would recommend Dr. Bruce Wilkoff here at CCF if you have further questions. or require additional opinions.
