Possible PSVT?

[Appleman300]

I have been having episodes of sudden onset rapid tachycardia. I will be sitting doing nothing at all and it will come on. I am in paramedic school right now, and i printed a 12 lead just after i had an episode. My HR is normal in the 12 lead but when the event occurs im near 150-160. My blood pressure has been extremely elevated lately as well, 200/100 ish after the incident. I have had about 4 episodes occurring over a 3 month basis. The last 3 times i have performed vagel maneuvers and it worked. When it comes on get a sudden feeling of weakness, a shaky feeling of nervousness, i get hot and tingly, diapheretic, bounding pulse, with a impending feeling of doom. I also have had weird deffered chest pain, very minor though. I quit all drinking of energy drinks after the 1st episode, and i did chew tobacco often, now nearly never. No anxiety either. Here is the 12 lead. What do you think?

Thank You very much for your time.

Sorry you've not gotten a response.  I think you questions are far to technical (medical expert/specialist) for most of the contributors to this Community.

I recommend you discuss with others/instructors in you school and if that doesn't satisfy your mind, talk with  a doctor.

Good luck on your paramedic school training, paramedics are a very welcome site in a medical emergency, I've witnessed a few my self and speak from experience.

I understand that an intensive course like you are in could be very taxing on you, whether or not you feel completely in control of the situation or not. I believe most of my heart issues occurred well before I first attended college, but it wasn't until college that I recognized it. And I thought I had most things pretty well handled, I could take on the world!

Despite feeling that this is not anxiety related, because you don't FEEL anxious, your body may be responding physiologically to the increased demand of a rigorous schedule. That's not something we are always aware of, the release of adrenaline and other neurotransmitters, coursing through our body and creating all sorts of responses that may surprise us.

ps, I wonder if you mean't to post on the expert forum so that the doctor there could interpret your 12 lead recording??
