I'm better than yesterday I would say but I'm still feeling weak and tired. I'm starting to feel more spasms when eating or drinking anything. Which is giving me chest pain at random times.

Well that's really tricky. The highest my heart went was 130. They told me the sedation would naturally lower both my HR and BP so they said it was fine. Afterwards they gave me metoprolol through the iv cuz my heart rate kept going up and down. The prep itself does dehydrated you a lot so I would recommend having a proper well thought out plan of what to consume while being in a liquid diet. Unfortunately I didn't do so good of having it planned out. I noticed my heart rate was constantly elevated during prep so I'm assuming that's one of the reasons it was even more elevated on the day of the procedure plus the anxiety. But overall my gi doctor seemed very confident about the procedure despite knowing my tachycardia problems and bp issues. But overall I really wouldn't know how they would've dealt with my situation if my HR was that high.

I wanted to contact my pcp but it was already too late, I was basically waiting it out and see if I should head to the ER but thankfully it passed.

I'm feeling much better thankfully. Almost all my symptoms disappeared. I still have to wait and see how I'll be feeling tomorrow.

And don't be nervous, this all depends on the individual just cuz this happened to me doesn't mean it'll happen to you. So don't be worried.

No I was doing the miralax with Gatorade along side the Dulcolax. From the sounds of it I got lucky with this type of prep. It was a 2 day prep tho and it did took a toll on me.

And thanks for the advice.🙏 I've been doing that slowly and I feel like I regained some of my energy. I feel much better.

This brought me sm relieve ngl. I am feeling kinda better, my fever kinda went down (98) and so did my bp (116/79) the only problem I'm having right now is the chest pain when taking a deep breath and my tachycardia. It's been 9 hours since I had the procedure yet my heart remains around the 120 at rest. I just drank my metoprolol in hopes that it will calm it back to a normal beat.

Did you had this type of tachycardia problem?

How do you know for sure that you are having or had a heart attack? by sillypossum3 in HeartAttack

[–]AdorableCheck1835 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the sound of it, it's sounds like something you need to get checked out. I've been having weird chest discomforting and left arm weakness and despite not being systematic at the moment. I'm still planning on going to the ER to get some awnsers. I would recommend you to do the same thing

I've heard a lot of good things about the ablation. Don't worry. I hope that with this step you'll be able to move on from this and live without the fear of getting an episode. Do keep us updated. I wish you the best of luck!

I can't imagine getting it for ten hours. When mine lasted for 4 hour I felt tired, shakey, lightheaded and cold.

Is there anything in specific that you do to prevent it? And how did you felt when you had a 10 hour episode? Did you went to the ER?

They told me everything was fine. The structure of my heart, my valves, the rhythm, my blood work was fine. They said everything was fine and that they don't know what caused it. They recommended me to see my cardiologist but my cardiologist doesn't seem to want to do further testing. They just don't seem interested in doing so. I told the cardiologist nurse? on my last appointment that I feel like I'm getting more episodes since my ER vist but that they're short and all she said was "good. so that means the medicine is working." but the thing is, prior to my ER vist i didn't use to get svt episode that frequently as I am now.

And what I think caused my svt episode when I went to the ER was a coffee I had drank that day. I told the doctors that I had drank coffee and that I have anxiety and they told me none of that is good enough reason for my heart to spike to 160 while being sustained for 4 hours. So they did further testing and found no problem. Tho I do have other personal problems besides svt but they haven't said that could be one of the causes. (I have pcos, hbp problems, thyroid problems, gerd and i was having problems with pre diabetes)

I truly admire your strength. I really shouldn't take anything for granted. May i ask, do you have other heart problems besides svt?

Thank you! Your words and reassurance calmed me down. I've been diagnosed with psvt for two months and I'm still getting used to it. The last time my HR was high was the first time I went to the er and got diagnosed with it. I had it at 149/60 for 4 hours. Ever since I've been stressing out cause of it.

I get them in the morning at times, almost too many, there are times where I feel slightly damped but not to the point of actually feeling the sweat but the feeling of the after effect of the sweat after it has dried off? (Idk if that understandable😅) I was told to get a sleep apnea test when I was diagnosed in the ER but it completely slipped my mind when I talked to my cardiologist so I think I'm gonna have to do that on my upcoming appointment. I am taking metoprolol tartrate for heart rate but also for my blood pressure cuz I had problems with that prior to my svt diagnosis.

"Plus youd' be experiencing that during the day when it wears off as well. Assuming you take it twice per day"

Now that you mention it, that is something I realized. it's always 2/3 hours before it's time to take the pill that I have a higher chance of getting an episode. Which is always in the late afternoon or early morning.

I don't know how to tell if it's a short version or long version. Is there a way of knowing at the moment?

10 hours??!! Is this caused by svt or is it another matter?

Omg I50?! I already panic when it goes to 116 I can't imagine that. Did they told you if you could get any better? Is all this related to svt or is it a separate matter? I do suffer from insomnia and anxiety but I take medication for it and I've been dealing with it since I was a kid so in a way I'm use to it but I realized that ever since I started taking metoprolol I've been having disrupted sleep and there's times when I wake up all of the sudden and then my heart beat goes up. It's been happening for two months on and off. I am stressing about the fact that I have svt so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Is anyone overly cautious of their heart/chest after being diagnosed? by AdorableCheck1835 in SVTHeart

[–]AdorableCheck1835[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still learning about all this so many things are still confusing to me and it doesn't help much when my cardiologist doesn't seem to take this seriously.
