SVT

[celia2]

Can stress cause episodes of SVT?  Also is there in fact a connection between GI problems and SVT?

I was Dx'd with Crohn's Disease 10 years ago.
Since than I never had an SVT.
2 months ago I was severely malnourished, dehydrated, pain killer WD.. and sent to the ER with a heart rate of 300bpm. Dx'd with SVT and put on Cardizem 120mg 24hr

Because of my digestive issue, my magnesium, potassium, and electrolytes were poor. Malnourished. Very skinny weak and not healthy.

Ever since starting TPN and building my levels up i Rarely feel a PVC or PAC and cardizem has stopped an SVT in 2 months now.

I believe hydration, magnesium and potassium play a HUGE ROLL.
Because of my digestion problems, i actually do believe it made the SVT so bad. As far as an extrs PATH way or having AVNRT... I have not had an EP study but i do have crohn's.

When all those levels in the blood are off your heart has arythmias. Digestive conditions play a big roll and i KNOW MY BODY.
