SVT and pvc..........had enough!!!
Hi everyone! i'm sick and tired of being scared of my pvcs and svt. i have decided to do whatever it takes to try and come to terms with everything. i have just recently been diagnosed and before i can i need to understand what SVT really is. i want to know what other pvc and svt suffers are doing to cope. other than this forum there is no-one i know who has svt. i just want to hear other peoples experiences.
do all you svt suffers also have pvcs?
what triggers your svt?
what meds work for you?
does anyone wake up from sleep with svt?
does anyone get weird strong beats like your heart is slowing down just before an svt?????
does anyone get svt whilst eating?
can anyone explain how svt is triggered by a pvc?
how do you know that you are definitely having an svt attack and not something serious? (i always panick when i have an svt because i'm convinced its vt even though my docs and cardios say i don't have vt)
i know its a long boring post and you guys have probably gone through this loads of times but i really would like to hear of your experiences.

like you i also have the palpitations at night. was the rapid heart rate you experienced at night svt? how long did it last for? i've given up looking for possible triggers. the only i know for certain is that eating too much gives me pvcs and when i am having alot of pvcs i will have at least 1 svt attack.
i have been told by my docs that EVERYONE has pvcs and pacs and it is a NORMAL cardiac event but how many pvcs in a day are considered NORMAL? how many pvcs would you expecta a healthy NORMAl person to have?

ooops! you're right, thanx
She said she hasn't taken any meds.
thank you! it really helps to hear other peoples experiences. its weird i also can sense when its about to happen. are you on meds for your svt? how long are you attacks?
don't you think its weird that i have never had any PACs on any of the 24 hr ecgs just pvcs.

Yeah I agree. I think the only thing that scares me about the ablation is I worry I might be worse off afterwards than to start with, like with the pac's and such. I'm having good results with this toprol xl, but it is still giving me some insomnia and hasn't eliminated the svt completely, but it has very much improved since I started it. If I were you, I would just listen to your cardio, if he/she says you're ok as far as a structurally ok heart, then just avoid the triggers and you should be totally fine. If your cardio suggests it, then you might try the bb, I remember being really scared the first time I took it but I promise it was all ok, it actually has made me feel much better and improved my svt alot. Please try and not be anxious about your pvc's, I know it's much easier said than done lol, but I truly get the pac's every single day and they have never hurt me in the slightest. Best wishes to you, em.
Hi! I can relate to your frustration.
do all you svt suffers also have pvcs?
-I have very rare PVCs, but very frequent PACs. Usually the PACs trigger the SVT for me.
what triggers your svt?
-Typically exercise, which triggers multiple PACs, which can occasionally trigger the SVT. During pregnancy I could get a run of SVT just sitting doing nothing at all. It seems related to hormones, so I exercise less strenuously around ovulation.
what meds work for you?
-I've never taken meds, but reducing anxiety through regular exercise and avoiding stimulants (caffeine and even sugar) helps substantially.
does anyone wake up from sleep with svt?
-I have, but I was also having a noctournal panic attack.
does anyone get weird strong beats like your heart is slowing down just before an svt?????
-Yes, I feel a sinking feeling. I can sense it before it happens, and I can even sense days where I am more prone. No clue what that is or why it happens.
does anyone get svt whilst eating?
-No, but I do get an increase in PACs from eating. There are a few here who do.
can anyone explain how svt is triggered by a pvc?
-I don't know. I do know that PACs can trigger SVT at high frequencies for me.
how do you know that you are definitely having an svt attack and not something serious? (i always panick when i have an svt because i'm convinced its vt even though my docs and cardios say i don't have vt)
-My cardiologist and his associate explained to me that it is quite rare to have both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias unless you have a major structural or electrical problem with your heart. Ventricular arrhythmias (not run of the mill PVCs) are usually associated with more serious disease, thus it's not likely that you'd suddenly start having VT when you were having SVT. Not impossible, just really unlikely. And you'd very likely feel the difference, with other symptoms if nothing else. Trust the docs.

-Not long or boring, I know where you're coming from. Hope that helps.
