SVT Recurrence?
by mousewhisperer, May 08, 2008 09:24PM
I had a catheter ablation for super-ventricular tachycardia when I was 14. I am 22 now, and have recently been experiencing palpatations. I had an ECG which found nothing abnormal (was not having palpitations at that time). I have cut out caffeine and soda, which has helped, but it has not resolved completely. It still happens after I eat (when I haven't eaten in a few hours). Could this be due to a rise in blood sugar? I suspected not because it happens very quickly after taking a few bites. Maybe the two are unrelated? What I experience is a double-beat, with no pulse for that beat if you were to have your fingers on my carotid artery. Any thoughts? Thanks for the help.
