HEART RHYTHM COMMUNITY
Should I worry about SVT or NSVT

Should I worry about SVT or NSVT

I have been having a feeling of breathlessness and heart fluttering.  I told my cardiologist about it and he had me wear an event monitor for 30 days.  At my followup, he told me he thought I had either supra-ventricular tachycardia with aberrancy or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia and has referred me to an electrophysiologist and my appointment is the end of July.  

In 2006, I had a quart of fluid removed from around my heart after several years of not being able to breathe.  No reason was found for the excess fluid.  After that procedure, I started having fluttering and rapid heartbeats and was finally referred to an electrophysiologist in 2007.  He found that I had SVT and performed a cardiac ablation and reduced my dosage of Synthroid for my hypothyroidism.  

Two weeks ago, I was having dizziness issues and went to the med stop.  The doctor told me I had an ear infection, even though I didn't have any ear issues, and gave me an antibiotic and a medication for the dizziness.  I'm still having a little dizziness, but not as bad as before.  

Could any of this be related?  Should I worry about either of the two possible reasons that my cardiologist gave me?

Other medical problems:  Allergies (I'm allergic to everything!), mild asthma, anxiety and panic attacks, bipolar disorder, high blood pressure, osteo-arthritis, obesity, hypothyroidism, osteopoenia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, restless leg syndrome, rosacea, sleep apnea, stomach ulcer, hiatal hernia, and chronic gastritis.

Ear problems can cause dizziness, I believe, so give that "cure" a try before going for something else.

From your last paragraph it sounds like you have a lot of issues that may be triggers for heart rhythm problems.  High blood pressure as well as anxiety and panic are all treatable, hope you find something to help you with those, the bipolar too.  If you get those under control you may find an improvement in you heart will result.

Good luck.

I finished my ear medications a week ago.  Also, I am on medications for all my medical problems except for obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Has anyone been diagnosed with supra-ventricular tachycardia with aberrancy or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia?  If so, what was your treatment options?

Thank you.
