Hi :o)

I live in the Caribbean and I am a 30 year old female with Bacardic  Tachycardic SVT and Artiial Fribulation and there is one that is rare that is from a birth defect. I am not sure which that is but basically I was diagnosed with all of those and the meds did not work so I have been winging it and off meds for over a year. I now have High Blood Pressure  how bad is this combined with the arrhythmias anyone have any idea?

Hi!  I also surfer from tacchycardia.  How often does your heart race and how fast are the BPM? You are not alone.  ajc57

Atrial Fibrillation is not rare. Approximately 5 out of 1000 people have chronic A-Fib. There are also many different medications and combinations of medications that can decrease the severity and frequency of the arrhythmic episodes.

Which medications have you tried?

High blood pressure can trigger episodes of the arrhythmia or make it worse. You should at least see a doctor for your hypertension.
