SVT and Pregnancy

[just_curious03]

Hello,
I am 25 years old and had ablation surgery for SVT 6 years ago. Since then I have a rare rare occurance of it but now I am trying to become pregnant and have found this last week I have had an accurance almost every other day. When it happens its nothing major, but enough to feel and know that something happened. Im going to wait until the end of next week to take a pregnancy test, if I'm late, but Im just wondering if this has happened to anyone else before and then found out that they were pregnant ? Or if becoming pregnant,  even after the surgery, if the SVT could start up again?

Thank you

First thing I would ask is did you have surgery or a cath ablation in the cath lab. To say you had surgery means they took you to the OR and sliced you open , put you oon a heart-lung machine as your heart is not l;onger beating on it's own. You have had an OPEN HEART surgery and are in the hospital for several days. Ablations can be done this way, my daughter's first ablation was done through an open heart surgery, the remaining ones were all done in the cath lab and she was in and out of the hospital in 24 hours. SVT problems can reappear in time, so it would be possible for that to happen. Being pregnant can add stress on the heart as well. I had SVT problems throughout both of my pregnancies; it wasn't fun!

I went into hostpital and ended up on verapamil sr 200g twice a day and flecanide 50g twice a day in the mean time i have had ablation twice and was unable to triger it of and fix it, it was very dissapointing, they wanted for me to go in a third time as im only 32yrs and didant want me on drugs for that long but i didant want to go through all the heart ache of beleaving they could fix me, i dont know what to do at the moment as i would like another child and have been told i cant int the drugs im on i just dont know what to do??????
