I've had SVT for several years, but ended up in the ER this week and had to be converted. My doctor has offered the choice of medication or the ablation procedure. I'm 58, active and don't want to take medicine the rest of my life. I am going to the Cleveland Clinic for a consultation regarding catheter ablation. My family is against this. I've been having an SVT episode about once a month now for 2 years. I'm always able to convert, until now. I just want to be rid of it, but I don't want to do anything foolish either. I'm just confused and would like to hear anyone who also had to make this choice and how it turned out for them.
