In August 2015 I found out I had SVT and my heart was 250 beats I was given adenosine which brought my heart back to 110 that was one weird experience in February 2016 I had an ablation on my SVT and I had the same consultant than before I asked for him seeing as I knew him because he had operated on me in 2011. Hi Chris, Thanks for posting your story. My story is much like yours, however have not got the courage up enough to go through with an ablation procedure. Me hot2 me hot2cold. My holter showed 8,000+ PVCs for one day and I think they caught me on a good day. How are you doing now? Are you happy with the results? Any new complications? My doctors are trying to talk me into taking Flecainide first before doing a procedure. Had you tried an antiarythmic first before doing the ablation? I think this medication could be just as risky as doing the procedure and I am afraid of either. I think I would prefer the ablation over the medication. I am only 39 and don't wan't to add a crazy dangerous medication this early in my life. I do need to take a risk and do something thought. My ticker is in good shape now and need to fix this before my heart enlarges. Thanks for your post! Hello I had SVT ablation 2 dys ago and I feel absolutely brilliant! The whole procedure was painless and quick. It took about an hour. Recovering now and feeling great. No issues or complications. I have never been in hospital before for an operation or for anything come to think of it. I didn't want medication everyday for the rest of my life either. Nothing was scary about the whole thing. Very good aftercare from the nursing team and home in the same day. I cannot fault the staff and surgeons at Chorley hospital (UK). Regards Andrew. Hi Folks: Lotsa varying info here. I had RFA yesterday with 6 burn sites. I had a 20+ year history of events that had escalated recently and caused me to stop flying as a precaution. (I'm 61 and in good shape.) My procedure was at Emory in Atlanta GA and I have to say that after 10 other various surgeries, this was by far the most 'pleasant' experience I ever had for ANY medical procedure. The staff, techs, facility and MD couldn't have been nicer. I went in at 10 and was on my way home at 4:00. Meds used were Versed and Fentanel (sp?) and were just fine. No real pain or discomfort today (little groin soreness, some very slight chest pain but not needing any pain meds.) Only hitch was waking up last night with a brief event of SVT. I first tried to walk it off which didn't help and then used inversion technique noted below which stopped it immediatley. Not sure if that is common post-op for awhile and will check with MD today. A tip I can pass along: while the Valsalva maneuver, oculocardiac reflex (pressing on eyes) and carotid reflex (pressing on carotid sinus in neck) can slow or reverese an event, I found the best method for me was an inversion table typically used for low back pain.

On perhaps 5-10 occasions during the first 36 years of my life, I had what I now realize where episodes of SVT – extremely fast heartbeat and dizziness when trying to stand.

The symptoms started again while I was on vacation in July 2011, specifically, while I was swimming in the ocean. Srt To Srt Converter Svt AblationThis time the symptoms continued all day. An EKG measured one episode at 250bpm. I could always stop the episodes by holding my breath (rather than bearing down), but a few seconds or minutes later they would start again. They lasted for months in this manner and then, suddenly, went away for a month or so. I had an ablation procedure scheduled in March 2012. But the doctor’s office called to reschedule the night before. Because my symptoms had gone away at that time, I took this an excuse to put off the procedure indefinitely.
