Hello I am a 31 year old lady

I have been having what I call irregular heart beats. I feel is as if your almost in a car accident and you get that feeling of scared inside and your heart raising so fast....sometimes it will last seconds and get back to normal and other times it last for 10-15 min I may have it one day 10-15 times and another 20 times in one hr. They did an EKG which said borderline??? for hyper something...I had a holter for 24hr's and my doc said I was having tac's of up to 147 my average hr was at 95 and for 4 min of every hr it was going to 120 which he then said that is not good and send me to see a cardiologist & a cardiogram. the cardiogram I believe they told me it was OK. When I went to see the cardiologist he said based on the information I was giving him he feels I am susceptible to adrenaline usually people are born with that or you may develop some tumor's on some glands and they produce extra adrenaline. I will do this test for the tumors just to rule it out he next wk. In the meantime he put me on etenalol 25mg once a day. I am steel feeling and I think even more frequently. For some reason when it is night time it is really bad I mean my heart raising to the 150's it always comes back down or I just fall asleep trying not to think about it. Also this started when I was pregnant a year ago but the cardiologist that saw me said it was due to the pregnancy this new cardiolost beleives that my pregnancy might have trigered something. he also asked me if I have had panck attacks in the past and the only time I had one was while giving birth...I taght I could not breath everytime I had to push I mean I was gasping for air and my oxygen was at 100%. Does this make any sense to anyone? it doesn't to me....

if you are suffering from svt i know for a fact pregnancy can aggravate it,during my last two pregnancies i was terrible,something to do with the hormones.svt can just start off for no apparent reason and pregnancy could well be a trigger.
