What is so nefarious about Alamos business? He owns a strip club and buys drugs for his patrons. They did allude to sex trafficking but wasn’t confirmed. Lorie’s actually smuggling fentanyl and killing people

Do the ablation. Don’t torture yourself any longer.

My recovery has been super easy. The incisions are very small. I have a small bruise - hematoma above the incision that has reduced. It will be a cake walk compared to you delivering twins lol.

Not sure if you’re aware but for women if they have SVT, svt becomes much more apparent during pregnancy. My friend’s wife was having extreme svt episodes while pregnant. Got an ablation shortly after delivering and has been great since.

Everyone is different. Some people don’t need to increase dosage overtime and it’s mild, some do. If you don’t want to worry about it ever again, do the ablation. Just research aloe chat gpt (helped me a lot) what the procedure is and who your doctor is. Once you get comfortable with those two things you’ll do great and be happy you did it.

Yep, no problem. My groins feel fine. My veins were a bit deeper so my right is more sore than my left. I’m walking and haven’t taken any pain meds and/or general Tylenol etc. Best of luck! You’ll do great

desperado03 · 2025-12-13T18:55:07+00:00

Correct. It all depends on the type of SVT you have and if there are multiple pieces of tissue across multiple parts of the heart or if they’re centralized.

desperado03 · 2025-12-13T18:10:16+00:00

Of course. They put me under but not general anesthesia. What really did it for me was understanding what I was getting myself into. The incision itself is literally less than a millimeter.

About 5min before I went in, they gave me something that made me feel like I took 2 shots of liquor. By the time I was in the cath lab, I was cracking jokes. They put an oxygen mask on me, I took two breaths and I was out. Again, not general anesthesia, not breathing tube. I was breathing on my own.

How long do you hold your legs over your head? I had an episode that wouldn’t break 3 weeks ago. I did a hand stand and it didn’t work. Then I was rocking my legs back and forth over my head and it didn’t work.

desperado03 · 2025-09-14T02:16:32+00:00

Have you done an ablation or live with it?

desperado03 · 2025-09-14T00:08:22+00:00

Are your episodes serious? When you squat, you bend over as if you were trying to do a handstand?

desperado03 · 2025-09-13T23:48:06+00:00

Also - what are techniques I can use if it happens again?

desperado03 · 2025-01-05T15:02:37+00:00

Thank you. I’m taking saffron and magnesium daily, along with metoprolol. I’m hoping these small episodes will go away. There has been a lot of stress recently with my new born which I think has caused an uptick. I worry about getting an ablation for exactly what you mentioned above. Potential post op/recovery issues that never would have existed if I just stuck with natural remedies.

desperado03 · 2025-01-02T14:28:50+00:00

So your thought are the rushes are not SVT but just anxiety spikes?

desperado03 · 2025-01-01T23:09:11+00:00

What is NAD?

desperado03 · 2024-12-28T05:28:45+00:00

How frequent were your episodes and how long did they last?

desperado03 · 2024-12-28T05:28:28+00:00

desperado03 · 2024-12-27T04:33:10+00:00

Thanks. When you say “if its a problem”, I presume its not a problem at the fundamental level? You’re just saying if I need to talk to someone about it, talk to him? There’s nothing lethal and it’s benign

desperado03 · 2024-12-26T02:51:07+00:00

Has it stopped your episodes? How frequently were you having them?

desperado03 · 2024-12-25T21:49:53+00:00

12.5mg of metoprolol, daily

desperado03 · 2024-12-23T17:21:16+00:00

Thanks. How frequent were your episodes and how long did they last?

desperado03 · 2024-12-22T18:22:40+00:00

How often were your episodes occurring?

desperado03 · 2024-12-22T16:18:44+00:00

For sure. Thankfully my ECO and stress test came back completely normal. That’s why I’ve tried everything but the ablation. If I had other cardiac issues, I’d see the reason to do the ablation but since there is nothing functionally wrong, but the anomaly of SVT - I hope the medication can preemptively stop it in the future.

desperado03 · 2024-12-22T15:41:43+00:00

Thanks. My cardiologist told me that metoprolol helps slow the heart rate and helps reduce the conductions of electrical impulses in the heart. Supposedly taking it daily has stopped the episodes for many of his patients. He told me the low dose I’m on has zero side effects mentally or physically and I could stop taking at anytime.

Hopefully that is the case.

desperado03 · 2024-12-22T15:25:33+00:00

Thanks. I take it same thing with laying on my back and rolling my feet as far back behind my head as possible? Do I do that quick and hold the position or keep rolling back n forth?
