that’s what just happened to me, was just relaxing watching youtube. i was just diagnosed today with SVT. my apple watch said heart rate was in Afib with heart rate 157 bpm.
I was told I had SVT when I was a few months old and I still have it to this day and I’m 18. It happens most when I’m laying in bed but is also triggered by food types like potassium (bananas and stuff) or caffeine
That's interesting and counter to what one would expect, that lying down and electrolytes would actually cause rather than help the condition. The caffeine makes sense though.
Medicine has came a long ways! I developed a fast heart rate out of the blue. The cardiologist suspected it might be SVT, luckily only sinus tachycardia. Just super uncomfortable, I’m on meds to control that. I really feel for those with SVT.
I'm 71. The first episode I had was when I was 15 and it was while I was playing a very demanding game of handball. The second was when I was 16 and it happened again during a basketball game. Those were the only two that ever occurred during exercise. Now I'll get them pretty much at rest. Had an ablation 12 years ago but it wasn't successful. I've tried all the maneuvers to stop them but have found that doing an abrupt shoulder stand has been very successful. I don't like taking meds everyday to prevent an SVT that may only happen 4 times a year. My heart rate goes up very high when I get them. EMS clocked one at 239 BPM. That's about as fast as an SVT will get.
hey rich, also 71. had my first at ten while swimming, m.d. called it p.a.t. i was on and off ineffective drugs until i was fifty then stopped the med route. however, january i had a xtra lengthly and difficult episode and mentioned it to my md and now have seen a cardiologist that is advising ablation. i too prefer going w/out meds and am considering the surgery. (the shoulder stand is a new maneuver for me- i’ll try it next time.) good luck to you (you are the first person i’ve “met” w svt).
Mine happened in a huge pool i was swimming not holding my breath or nothing just sitting in a pool, futher more to say i'm only ten but my heart does get flutter to the chest at the hospital my heart rate was 228 i passed out. I have svt and cleared from a couple days ago but my doctor said that your heart can be caused bye cafffeine and the hot bath could trigger but also i took a whole month with caffiene and my heart still gets like that.
i am so happy i got cleared two days ago i got it when i was five and i am ten now but there is surgery to help your heart. Also my heart was beating 282 and i passed out at the hospital but when I have this blow on your thumb and it works great.

I just found out I have this and when I was at the hospital my heart was beating at 224 bpm they ended up having to give me a medicine that stopped me heart for a few seconds
This gentleman was the one who conducted my ablation surgery in 2007. He is highly professional and skilled. Thank you again sir!
How is it done and what's exactly the surgery for?

@Lorrie... EMS once clocked my SVT at 239 bpm and I was no youngster at the time, maybe 60.

Caffeine from coffee. Ice tea dont think so. Weird cause tea has more caffine then coffee.

What meds do u take?
I wish I had the money to go get the ablation surgery. It's been 3yrs and I just can't take it anymore.
Mine always happens when I’m exercising.

Do you have referrals for the Atlanta area?
I just took a bath.. sitting there for a few seconds...reached for the handle and it started SVT and it didn't go away for about an hour.
See your doctor
Does it feel like your heart is out of rhythm?
