Before worrying about cardiac catheter ablation, there are simple things you can do to help with your symptoms. Cut down on caffeine, make sure you stay hydrated, and make sure that when you go from laying down to standing, you sit first to equilibrate. When you have been sitting for a while, stand up slowly and wait a bit before walking. Let your cardiologist if such self-care measures make a difference. Oh, if you do have the catheterization, the catheter will go to your right atrium, which houses the apex of the cardiac conduction system, and from there, other branches of the conduction system. The interventional cardiologist can pinpoint any abnormal focus of cardiac electrical activity and ablate (zap) the misfiring cell group.
hey girl! so i recommend requesting a tilt table rest for sure because i was offered so many treatments before they realized i actually have POTS and you should check just incase:)
I had issues like yours when I was young. It ended up being thyroid disease. The thyroid works for every function in your body, including your heart. Like you, I had episodes of skipping beats, rapid rhythm and slow rhythm. You mentioned in your story that you had thyroid issues during your pregnancy. If you haven't had it checked out recently, you might want to mention it to your doctor. Good luck and take care.
Read book,:" Iodine Crisis " by Farrow on Amazon can get on Kindle. You would need iodine but must know how much. Prevents breast and prostate cancer and much more.
I have a unique case of ventricular tachycardia. I was diagnosed at the age of 16. I am almost 22 now. I have had two catheter ablations and I’ve been on manyyy medications at all sorts of dosages. None of the medications have reduced the occurrence of vtach and PVC’s. They only caused horrible, life-threatening side effects due to dangerously low blood pressure. In response to this, I’ve had two catheter ablations. The first ablation was unsuccessful as my condition returned with the same frequency within two weeks of the procedure. My last ablation was successful though! The procedure itself involved the worst pain of my life in two separate instances, but even that was totally okay and manageable. If I were told I needed another ablation tomorrow, I’d just say “okay, let’s do it.” The benefits of that short-term discomfort is 100% worth it. I’d encourage you to consider medications first. Hopefully that will be the only treatment you need, if you need any treatment at all. If medication doesn’t do enough for your heart, then please be open-minded to a catheter ablation if your cardiologist suggests it. My ablation was absolutely life changing. I can workout, and I’m very fit now. I have no more medical anxiety or sense of doom. I feel very content with my health and my abilities.
I've had the procedure that your doctor talked about. You go into a bit of a twilight state when they do the procedure and it was pretty quick. It's been 20 years and the issue has never come back (I was about 23 when I had it done) . 100% worth it. I know it's a scary when you think about what they will need to do, but just remember they do it all day and I'm sure you'll be in good hands.
@@mrshadenoughofallthis911 take gas x meltable strips in your purse for afterward! In case you get air built up at any incision point. They work quickly and the doctors don’t like to give gas x for some silly reason! After being given this hint by a physician who is a friend of our family, it’s come in handy more often than I ever would have thought.
I’ve had 4 heart caths, two of them were cardiac ablations. I’m glad you’re getting this looked into. My diagnosis is postpartum cardiomyopathy, I started having these issues after I had my second son. He will be 14 next month. Btw, the ablations don’t hurt. Neither do the cath leads or incisions. At all. If that is what it comes to. I know it’s scary, but the best you can do right now is take care of yourself. Sending strength your way❤️
Everly is such a credit to you, you are such an amazing mother ❤️ when she fell on you and said oh I’m sorry, that just melted my heart what a sweetheart 🥺 I hope all will be okay with you, sending many many wishes and goodluck your way. You deserve it ❤️
I had a heart attack at 32 and deal with PVCs and tachycardia now. Always get a second opinion if you’re not happy with your event monitor results! Im gonna be doing cardiac ablation this year and am looking forward to the changes it’ll bring. Hope you’re able to figure it all out and it’s nothing!
I finally had a cardiac ablation in 2018 after 20 years of atrial tachycardia. IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID!! I should have done it years earlier but I was too scared to go thru it. The procedure was painless ( I was actually awake during it) and I went home after a few hours of observation. After about 1 week to 10 days I felt better than I had in years! I’ve had no recurrence since then. It’s been like a miracle for me… no more scary racing heart episodes!
I was diagnosed with SVT (Atrial Tachycadia) after i got covid 20 months ago. I also have POTs now too and a bunch of other symptoms that I struggle with since my infection.
PAC’s are Premature atrial contractions and PVC’s are Premature ventricular contractions. Tachycardia is your heart beating too fast and bradycardia is it beating too slow. When they say is atrial or ventricular, they are telling you where in the heart the problem is occurring. The heart has 4 chambers. The two top chambers are atria and the two bottom chambers are ventricles. You also have electrical nodes in the heart that control the way the heart beats. When you have ventricular tachycardia, they can determine the node which is malfunctioning and do a procedure called ablation to stop that node from misfiring. There are also medications that can sometimes control the tachycardia without having to do ablation. All that being said, I am not convinced that’s the root of your problem. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it sounds like dysautonomia. Dysautonomia refers to a group of medical conditions caused by problems with the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This part of your nervous system controls involuntary body functions like your heartbeat, breathing and digestion. When the ANS doesn’t work as it should, it can cause heart and blood pressure problems, trouble breathing and loss of bladder control. The most common symptom is being unable to stand up without feeling dizzy or fainting. Doctors call this orthostatic hypotension. Other dysautonomia symptoms include: Abnormally fast or slow heart rate Anxiety Excessive sweating or not being able to sweat Fatigue Feeling short of breath (especially when you exercise) Feeling thirsty all the time Having trouble swallowing Headaches Insomnia Nausea and diarrhea Vision problems (blurred vision, vision loss, tunnel vision) The symptoms vary in each person and it’s often hard to get a diagnosis. I am a nurse and very familiar with this condition. I watch a UA-cam channel called Service Dog Paws and it’s owner, Dominique, has dysautonomia. You might want to watch some of her videos. She has a great video on getting her diagnosis. POTS is associated with dysautonomia and could also be your issue. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that affects blood flow. POTS causes the development of symptoms -- usually lightheadedness, fainting and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat -- that come on when standing up from a reclining position and relieved by sitting or lying back down. I would definitely get a second opinion and if you think either Dysautonomia or POTS could be your problem, please see a specialist for it. I would hate for you to undergo surgery if it’s not necessary.
@Maddie Lambert PAC;s and PVC's are extra heartbeats that come right up against the previous one then it goes back to normal. That is why you feel that long pause. They are sometimes called palpitations. I have the same thing and it is a benign condition. I understand completely how scary it is. Mine started when i was 21 and i am now 48 and mine has always been fine. I take an over the counter supplement called Slow Mag recommended by my cardiologist. It helps a lot but i would check with your dr before taking it. Also be careful of things that may irritate the condition. LIke certain meds, caffeine, etc. It won't hurt you but it will aggravate it and it's anxiety inducing. Just know that you will be ok. I almost had the ablation (burning of the electrical receptors in the heart) but my doctor really didn't feel it was necessary. You are not alone. These are very common and can be brought on by stress. Look in to a clean diet and some exercise because it helps! Good Luck!
Your daughter is adorable. I love that you turned the video off to correct your daughter. So many parents embarrass their children on video and that’s just not fair since they have no control over what you choose to do as a parent.
I had that happen with my heart for a while too, about a few months. I was told so many things, but honestly the thing that made it go away was doing deep breathing techniques. You basically force yourself to relax which forces your heart to slow down. I hope you're able to control it, heart issues are super scary. I was born with a hole in my heart (it closed by the time I was 4) and I still have a heart murmur from it (my heart like skips a beat periodically and causes this really sharp pain in my chest). But ultimately it's important to recognize that anxiety (getting worked up and making our heart beat faster) will only make those symptoms worse so staying calm is the most important.
Before you go through any crazy treatments you should really try and see an Autonomic specialist or at least consult your PCP to schedule the very quick and easy Tilt Table Test just to confirm that it’s not a possibility of POTS ❤️
My 15 year old daughter has an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist next month to see if she has POTS. I hope you figure out your issue soon Maddie!
@@Mrsjam96 make sure you go to a cardiologist who knows about POTS. 90% of normal cardiologists will send you away with “exercise, more water, more salt” and that RARLEY works.
THIS!! So common and many doctors don’t know what it is or don’t “believe in it” you have to advocate most times to get tested for it yet it’s literally so common!
I hope you feel better Maddie♥️ I’m sorry you are anxious and overwhelmed and I hope you feel better mentally and physically! 🥰 I got a heart monitor on similar to yours. I found out so far I have a murmur, pots and some issue with my left valve causing a back flow of blood… if I’m remembering that right. Basically for years when I lay on my left side I can hear my heart making a clicking sound. I will know more from wearing the heart monitor.
Hello! So I just found your videos recently and I want you to know that you shouldn't fret too much! I had SVT (super ventricular tachycardia) in the past. I had my first ablation done in the cath lab back in 2019. We did the heat version and I ended up having episodes again. We went back to the cath lab in 2021 and chose the cryo option. I am all better now and I wish you good luck with whatever you choose! Now your heart is a bit different from mine and you should always trust your cardiologist, but I really liked the cryo option because it is more efficient at fixing the problem. I had two types of arrhythmia, I had a piece of tissue and then my heart was also being funky so you could say that I was a bit rare lol. Just know that you are not alone even though it might be scary! :)
Hi Maddie! So, I just want to say that I hope everything is going well, and that you get all the rest you need, and I will be praying for you! Just remember there is always someone there for you! Stay positive!
I've had 2 of the catheter type procedures, they put catheters through my femoral arteries (like on either side of my lady bits, right there where it goes from lady bit to thigh on each side) all the way up to my brain. I was asleep for each one because I requested to be sedated lol. But the holes where they go in are super tiny! The worst part is having to lay incredibly still with your legs closed, for hours after to make sure your arteries don't open back up.
I was also diagnosed with this the first week of January this year & am now on a beta blocker to help with my misfires that my heart does. I could have the ablation surgery also in the future but I want to go get some more opinions but so far they meds have been helping to a certain extent. I have horrible anxiety so I never know if it’s my heart issue or just anxiety some days & its not fun at all! Hope you figure it out & have a safe surgery if you do it!:)
Maybe u have panic attacks . You can also see your psychiatrist. I had this before. I also thought i had problems in my heart. Do a lot of lavoratories and everything was fine. But the problems goes on hardly cant breath/cold sweats and palpitations/depress and feel so sad that no one can describe. I ended up seeing a psychiatrist and diagnosed with panic attack. It helps me a lot since then i feel so much butter and happier
Hey Maddie I saw that you didn't kmow the meaning of PAC I did conduct a research on it because I don't know too and I want to know what it is so here it is: Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are extra heartbeats that start in the upper chambers of your heart. When the premature, or early, signal tells the heart to contract, there may not be much blood in the heart at that moment. That means there's not much blood to pump out.
Sweetie have the procedure done on your heart bc it’ll make you feel so much better. I had mine done 6 yrs ago and I was so scared but honey when I got home I think I could have ran around the block. Lol. Take care of yourself for that beautiful baby girl.
Awe I hope everything goes well for you! I was born with a severe heart condition Atrial Septal Defect which is a hole in the heart so I can relate to you when it comes to heart disease. I hope everything goes smoothly for you. Thanks for sharing :)
Have you ever discussed the possibility of POTS (Dysautonomia) with the cardiologist. Myself and my two kids both have it. You get tachycardia, palpitations, dizzy when standing, nausea, GI issues and some people faint when standing too long or sitting too long even. They can to a Tilt Table test and there are meds that help. Look up Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
I've had the radio frequency. They burn out bad bit thru the groin. It changes my life. I'm so much better now, not fatigued with palpitations any more xx
hope you’re doing well!! i’m currently having concerns with my heart as well; i’ve had a few fainting episodes & the nurse thought it was afib, though the cardiologist isn’t sure. but i’m experiencing the same things you mentioned: dizziness when standing up, pain/pressure in the chest, so i can relate!!
Hey, kinda random from some stranger on the internet, but I have postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) and dizziness when standing up is one of the main symptoms. When I was off medications and undiagnosed, I would get sharp pains in my chest. It's not awful (it wasn't unbearable beforehand, just uncomfortable) now that I am on medications, but on bad days I still get pressure in my chest. Just something to maybe keep in mind/look into!
Hey I just wanted to ask any of you with heart concerns, I don't know if it was just how Maddy worded it in this video, but it came across to me like Maddy's Dr, didn't necessitate her situation, and i was wondering how this would affect someone generally speaking going forward if they are in a situation where being inactive isn't an option (i.e: Maddy's obviously a mum) would someone's active lifestyle excelerate symptoms anatomically speaking such as what Maddy has described here? Thanks.
@@oldsoulone1217 I agree with you on it sounding like it was not necessitated. Unfortunately, that's just apart of getting diagnostics for things that are more "out of the norm". It took my mother seven years to get her dysautonomia diagnostic (PoTS included; fortunately for me I got diagnosed easily when the onset of my symptoms started due to my moms experience and knowledge about her genetics). While I can't speak for Maddie or others, it generally is manageable- for me, at least. Some days are bound to be worse than others; there are days where I'm miserable, in bed and tired because being awake is just too physically taxing. Other days are better and I forget about it. The average day though? It's tolerable. Sit on the floor a few minutes take a breather and get back to what I was doing. Things get done slower than the average person, but hey, that's all right. Regular, low impact exercise (with some cardio here and there) has shown to help manage PoTS and similar disorders in the long run. Maintaining a normal activity level rather than an inactive one does help aid somewhat when medications are not an option. We do struggle more than most people with getting exercise done, and it is quite discouraging, but some days just accepting that slowly doing chores around the house is exercise enough is a start. Medications do help SIGNIFICANTLY, but they're not always an option for most people and that sucks. For my friends who read this and can't seem to get a diagnostic, but are willing to try something to manage it a least a little: DRINK WATER!!!! Eat something salty (only if your blood pressure is low). Heck, buy some liquid IV from Costco, or gatorade if liquid iv is too expensive. They seem like such insignificant things, but higher salt content helps raise blood pressure, which gives your heart rate a break from overcompensating. Added electrolytes are a bonus. Dietary changes also work. I went vegetarian for the health reasons and it helped beyond belief. And most importantly do your own research! That being said, take that with a grain of salt as I have a high tolerance for discomfort. Not everyone's going to be the same, nor are all disorders the same. I am only speaking from my experience.
@@ataraxia2738 Thanks for that. It's just what I was thinking is like, obviously I don't need to explain what your heart/lungs/pulse etc do when someone is active, and cos Maddie's situation is a cardio matter, I was a little perplexed as to why it came off sounding like the Dr wasn't overly immediate with the situation when in a nutshell, from my perspective, it came off to me like a person being active with cardio problems when they don't have an option to rest, would be basically working an already faulty body part and therefore might take a patient's right to choose an option out of their hands if you know what i mean...
I had similar problem with my heart and it turned out it was an infection. The infection was never proved by lab but 2 months of very strong /special antibiotics solved the problem. It has been several years and I have no problem. It can bee anything. Finding the right cause and diagnoses is often very hard. Good luck to you❣️
@@okso48299 It was gynecologic and urinary infection. They never found out what kind exactly it was. I had to agree with a medical experiment. Luckily it helped. I was finally treated in Europe. But I was solving the problem also in the US and it would probably ended up the same way. I was treated by antibiotics called Avelox ans Ofloxin. These atb. are used to treat bacterial infection. These kind of atb. are called FLUOROQUINOLONE. Finding the right diagnoses can be very difficult. This is my case but it can be anything else for someone else.
LOL at boy job.. it is actually a job for anyone without a heart condition. Stay off ladders until you have your procedure successfully done. Sisters can also climb ladders - just saying. Lots of people in my family with heart issues, Afib, pacemakers, murmurs, heart attacks - no one has died from their heart conditions. Make a list of questions to take to the doctor for your next appointment. There are some really good accredited medical websites to help you through the questions to ask when your new to all of this.. tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome also called Tachy-brady syndrome also called Sick Sinus Syndrome. (heart sinus not your nose ;) ) Make sure you are getting enough sleep. take a multi vitamin if you don't take any. Have your thyroid and hormones checked while you wait for your next appointment with the specialist (he probably already did this bloodwork though - you can ask). Wishing you good health. Keep smiling!
I have pvc’s called bigeminy rhythm. It’s a third heartbeat after a pause. It’s uncomfortable for sure. Makes you feel like you are being squeezed in your neck for that pause and then you can feel a flutter heartbeat. You are amazing. I’ve only watched a few videos and just feel like you are so responsible and still able to enjoy your life. I saw that you have depression and could relate to the cleaning struggle. Sending hugs.
So I'm 25 and have been struggling with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) since I was 13. Have you considered having your pulse checked at the doctor when laying after 10 minutes, then what it is after sitting, and then standing? A tilt table test is also very accurate. If there's a significant increase it can be a big indication of that. If you're looking for another opinion, sometimes POTS goes unnoticed due to it's wide array of varying symptoms. Mine includes a very fast heart rate, and changes when laying to standing especially. I have a ton of other symptoms, but not everyone does. It's just something else that you can check easily before jumping to an ablation!
Wow I can’t believe how big and smart and talkative everly is! I still can’t understand how you were and are able to not only raise a daughter but also go to school (we’re you in school? Sry I’m new to the channel) and have a job and pay for everything! I’m sure your parents helped so much too! I’m just amazed! You are amazing!
Hi Maddie. I also have what you have, though it's less severe for me. What I can tell you from my experience is that keeping your emotions in check is the best way to deal with this. Insulationg your emotions from the daily stress, exercising patience, practicing relaxation techniques along with a good discipline of physical exercising. Those are the things tht worked for me. That and a good eating habit that excludes stimulents the sort of caffeine. It is my guess that a drop of emotional discipline and grounding might go a long way to calm your heart too. This is not something that goes away. But it is somehting that can be managed and kept to a non-intrusive level.
I am so glad there is nothing seriously wrong with you Maddie. 😊 I have to go to the hospital tomorrow too. I needs some tests done to make sure I am ok. 😞 I love you both so much. 💝
My dad had that procedure done it was a simple quick procedure, you wouldn’t be able to hold everly for a week but its a easy recovery otherwise! He is in his 60’s he would almost faint from episodes . It got worse as he got older, he tried dropping coffee and stuff. They told him it made him higher risk for heart attacks. But you also are not 60 . You will be ok!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You have to remember that the interpretation of the monitor seems like A LOT bc its a lot of medical terms, but it could be a simple diagnosis. Doctors just dumb it down. I've been seeing a cardiologist yearly since I was 6 weeks old, its a lot of big names and a simple diagnosis.
I have a rare and deadly heart disease that I have gotten treated for since I was 2 years old. What’s your condition called and how many years have you dealt with it
Maddie I had the same heart palpitations that you have and it was scary. I took magnesium supplements and it helped with the irregular heart beats. You should try it it might work for you too. Hope you feel better 🙏🏻💕
I know you probably won’t see this but. You will do great whatever the results are. I have a rare and deadly heart issue and it’s not easy to deal with. So I get it. But I just talk all the necessary precautions to prevent me from passing out or simple going into a bad rhythm. It’s a scary thing but trust the process. I have had to deal with tests and exams since I was 2 years old I am now almost 15 years old.
PAC means premature atrial contractions, and PVC means premature ventricular contractions. The atria are the heart chambers (there are two of both the atria, and ventricles) that slow blood flow through the heart before the blood can get to the ventricles where in the right ventricle, blood is pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated, and in the left ventricle the oxygenated blood is pumped to the rest of the body. A little advice: the less you worry about it the better. Schedule a follow up appointment in 4 months, and let him do the diagnosis and prognosis.
I had the same problem with my heart 10 Yr ago but it fixed itself and did not need surgery. I've no idea what caused it, just one of these wierd things, hope you feel better soon from Scotland 💕 xxx
I had the same thing about 2 years ago! I had lost so much weight! But I would wake up in the middle of the night to my heart going 190 and it would come and go! I had two heart monitors and they said I was fine. So I decided to cut out all caffeine, chocolate, tea, and sports drinks for about 4 months and it has gone away. I can drink some teas now but make sure I eat and I have started working out to help with my anxiety. My heart will go up to 204 sometimes when I run but it’s gotten better. It will be okay
I told you in another video to take 1/4 tsp of Epsom Salt, take it now and every day. 25 years ago my heart was racing, jumping up into my throat really crazy for hour at a time. I went to hospital emergency thinking I was having a heart attack. The doctor connected my heart so he could see it on a TV monitor. He said you have a premature heart beat and there is nothing we can do about it. Well I was so disappointed. But now glad. Because he was so wrong. About 3 months later I was having the same symptoms this one day at a friends house during dinner for about an hour. I didn't say anything to not upset anyone. My friend an RN after dinner took my pulse, 85 beats per minute. She said go to a doctor. I said I had and told her what he said above. My daughter drove us home and going in the front door turned on the radio in the front room which we never used. Out of the radio the first words were "we have been so wrong"(a Doctor saying about medical profession )"you need 1 magnesium to 1 calcium about 360mg a day. If you don't have enough your 1st heart attack can be your last. " A man called in and said his girlfriend took 1/4tsp of Epsom Salt(magnesium salfate) for her arthritis. I had been taking vitamins and minerals with 1magnesium to 2calcium.They manufacturer them to this day the wrong formula. So I ask my daughter if I had some Epsom Salt. She found some so I immediately took some because my heart was still acting up. That was the end of my heart problems. My doctor died of a heart attack shortly after. I take to this day 25yrs. My friend had very severe arthritic pain she took 1/4 tsp and called me to say her pain left in one hour. It is safe at this amount. Take it and you may not need anything else done. I had a 25yr old friend drop dead of a heart attack standing up to cheer at a ball game. Go see my other comment.
PAC is premature atrial contractions. This can cause extra heartbeats. It’s a type of arrhythmia. Atrial issues aren’t as bad as ventricle issues because the ventricles are what pump to the lungs for gas exchange and to the rest of the body. Both of my Gmas had a-fib (atrial fibrillation) and one is still living at 90 and the other just passed at 92 a few weeks ago. V-fib (ventricle fibrillation) is really bad and can kill you. With atrial issues you can have exhaustion and such which can cause some issues but generally aren’t life threatening and are treatable. Hope they get your symptoms under control. I know they’re very annoying. When you first started talking about your symptoms it sounded like POTS or some form of tachycardia (what I have). The symptoms can be annoying but treatable. Wish you all the best
I can't see your results because my internet won't load, but I hope you are okay. The comments below make me feel better, though none of them are doctors. I used to exercise constantly due to having to ride a bicycle everywhere, played sports, and went jogging all of the time. Plus, I was on drive-thru at work, and so I had to move constantly. My doctor was concerned my heart rate was too slow. I can't remember, but it was like 40-50, not too bad. It was just because I was an athlete. It's in the 80s now and I'm fat. I also had a murmur for a while. After months of saying there is something wrong, one doctor found it, and she was going to keep me for tests, but I was busy that day and then was put onto a ward, and they said I had somatic hallucinations. It went away, so whatever. Still, my troubles are nothing compared to my helpers' who has a golf-ball-sized hole in her heart that she didn't notice until 22. A lot of young people do indeed die from heart problems they don't know they had. Kudos on being a strong mama and getting it checked out.
I also did a heart surgery because I had a malformation. Mine was called Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome, idk if it's similar to what you have. But basically the procedure is the same they put a "string" (idk the name 😂) in your leg and burn the wrong part in your heart. Idk about USA but in France it's done through local anesthesia (in your leg). I won't lie it won't be the best moment of your life, I had to do it 2 times but I waited one year before the a second procedure because I was too traumatized 😅 But now I'm totally fine and considered healed!
If you have a lot of caffeine maybe switch to decaf I’ve done that as I’ve got a heart condition it’s helped a lot. Stress also doesn’t help Must sure you drink 2 litres of water a day so you aren’t dehydrated and try not to eat to much salt/sodium
I highly recommend seeing an electrophysiologist! Wish you lived in the Dallas area, I would highly recommend the doctor I work for. He diagnosed me with pots 2 years ago, and you have very similar symptoms as me.
You need to check with your doctor about POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome - Dysautonomia). There is a medication that helps (Midodrine).
PAC is premature Atrial Contraction and PVC is premature Ventricle Contraction. I have them both they are not life threatening unless you get a run of them together. I also get Sinus arrhythmia is not life threatening. Atria is your top chamber and Ventricle is your bottom chambers. Of your heart. Tachycardia means fast heart rate. Bradycardia means slow heart rate. A fib is a little more worrisome. My EKG always says abnormal but that is normal for me, I have Right Bundle Branch Block
I'm not trying to lessen your results because everything is relative and because you are a Mum it's extra scary. I have an extensive health history including tachycardia etc and I want you to know that you are going to be okay and the procedure you are stressing (understandably) about isn't as bad as you think. You are way stronger than many people twice your age. You have overcome and worked through a lot in your young life. Eleven years ago when I was 32 my lifelong specialists gave me two years at the most to live. I've been through a lot but each thing makes me stronger just like you. Seeing you not wanting to watch and react to the reaction of your 2020 life video made me feel really sad. Never think that you have to share everything with your subscribers as you are too precious and important to put yourself through something that isn't helpful to you. Xx
I’ve had two heart Caths. And both times they went through the artery in the side of my wrist. There are some Cardiologists that will try there first, before going through the groin. Best wishes!
Heu Maddie I watch your video I just came here to said you're amazing person!don't give up Maddie and keep on continue eahr you doing even it's hard.hang on there ya also I believe me ur daughter gonna be best friend you have had!
Take magnesium supplements. It will help i promise. Im going through the same thing with my heart and the magnesium has stopped it. I take the brand Now.
I think for women, since we have babies, all other proceedures, are not a big deal in comparison to labor & delivery. Every scary proceedure I had after that, was never a big deal, even surgeries were no big deal for me. Stuff sounds creepy & scary, but most of that is our fear of the unknown. I found that most of the time, my fear was more painful than the proceedures themselves. haha Hang in There, you will get through this!😉💖🐱
Please, please, please get a stool test that costs around $500. A complete analysis to check for parasites, Candida, and especially H-Pylori bacteria. I had an excessive amount of H-Pylori that caused all the symptoms your describing. Every time I ate or was hungry, the bacteria would go crazy! After they found my problem and put me on triple antibiotics, all the heart issues disappeared! Now that I remember that stage, I can say that the bacteria felt like I had a nest of bees inside of me!!! I couldn’t even move, because any activity on my part would make things go crazy. Please! Take the time and test to ensure that you don’t have a bacteria or something else causing this. I was also giving a hear monitor Like yours, so glad that I ordered my own stool test with a chiropractor, found someone who had a good lab and extensive screening for all bacterias. I probably would have had a surgery if I would have left it up to my doctors.
Praying for you as normal and believe you should ignore it, go on with your life and remember that doctors do all they can for you - to come back to visit and pay more often You are tough, young, healthy and have a great future....
Before worrying about cardiac catheter ablation, there are simple things you can do to help with your symptoms. Cut down on caffeine, make sure you stay hydrated, and make sure that when you go from laying down to standing, you sit first to equilibrate. When you have been sitting for a while, stand up slowly and wait a bit before walking. Let your cardiologist if such self-care measures make a difference. Oh, if you do have the catheterization, the catheter will go to your right atrium, which houses the apex of the cardiac conduction system, and from there, other branches of the conduction system. The interventional cardiologist can pinpoint any abnormal focus of cardiac electrical activity and ablate (zap) the misfiring cell group.
You pretty much wrote what I was thinking.
hey girl! so i recommend requesting a tilt table rest for sure because i was offered so many treatments before they realized i actually have POTS and you should check just incase:)
Everly is so imaginative funny and smart, I love seeing her natural humour!!
I had issues like yours when I was young. It ended up being thyroid disease. The thyroid works for every function in your body, including your heart. Like you, I had episodes of skipping beats, rapid rhythm and slow rhythm. You mentioned in your story that you had thyroid issues during your pregnancy. If you haven't had it checked out recently, you might want to mention it to your doctor. Good luck and take care.
Read book,:" Iodine Crisis " by Farrow on Amazon can get on Kindle.
You would need iodine but must know how much. Prevents breast and prostate cancer and much more.
I have a unique case of ventricular tachycardia. I was diagnosed at the age of 16. I am almost 22 now. I have had two catheter ablations and I’ve been on manyyy medications at all sorts of dosages.
None of the medications have reduced the occurrence of vtach and PVC’s. They only caused horrible, life-threatening side effects due to dangerously low blood pressure. In response to this, I’ve had two catheter ablations. The first ablation was unsuccessful as my condition returned with the same frequency within two weeks of the procedure. My last ablation was successful though! The procedure itself involved the worst pain of my life in two separate instances, but even that was totally okay and manageable. If I were told I needed another ablation tomorrow, I’d just say “okay, let’s do it.” The benefits of that short-term discomfort is 100% worth it.
I’d encourage you to consider medications first. Hopefully that will be the only treatment you need, if you need any treatment at all. If medication doesn’t do enough for your heart, then please be open-minded to a catheter ablation if your cardiologist suggests it. My ablation was absolutely life changing. I can workout, and I’m very fit now. I have no more medical anxiety or sense of doom. I feel very content with my health and my abilities.
I've had the procedure that your doctor talked about. You go into a bit of a twilight state when they do the procedure and it was pretty quick. It's been 20 years and the issue has never come back (I was about 23 when I had it done) . 100% worth it. I know it's a scary when you think about what they will need to do, but just remember they do it all day and I'm sure you'll be in good hands.
@@mrshadenoughofallthis911 take gas x meltable strips in your purse for afterward! In case you get air built up at any incision point. They work quickly and the doctors don’t like to give gas x for some silly reason! After being given this hint by a physician who is a friend of our family, it’s come in handy more often than I ever would have thought.
@@mrshadenoughofallthis911 absolutely! Sending prayers up for your procedure and for you to have no anxiety or worry tomorrow! ❤️ God bless!
@@mrshadenoughofallthis911 I'm sure it will be nice to have it finally taken care of. Everything will be just fine :)
I did all of this and ended up with a pacemaker at 28 years old. Sounds scary.. but it’s no big deal and I feel so much better ❤️ best of luck!
I’ve had 4 heart caths, two of them were cardiac ablations. I’m glad you’re getting this looked into. My diagnosis is postpartum cardiomyopathy, I started having these issues after I had my second son. He will be 14 next month.
Btw, the ablations don’t hurt. Neither do the cath leads or incisions. At all. If that is what it comes to. I know it’s scary, but the best you can do right now is take care of yourself. Sending strength your way❤️
Everly is such a credit to you, you are such an amazing mother ❤️ when she fell on you and said oh I’m sorry, that just melted my heart what a sweetheart 🥺 I hope all will be okay with you, sending many many wishes and goodluck your way. You deserve it ❤️
I had a heart attack at 32 and deal with PVCs and tachycardia now. Always get a second opinion if you’re not happy with your event monitor results! Im gonna be doing cardiac ablation this year and am looking forward to the changes it’ll bring. Hope you’re able to figure it all out and it’s nothing!
I finally had a cardiac ablation in 2018 after 20 years of atrial tachycardia. IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID!! I should have done it years earlier but I was too scared to go thru it. The procedure was painless ( I was actually awake during it) and I went home after a few hours of observation. After about 1 week to 10 days I felt better than I had in years! I’ve had no recurrence since then. It’s been like a miracle for me… no more scary racing heart episodes!
How about Radiofrequency ablation?? No need surgery
I was diagnosed with SVT (Atrial Tachycadia) after i got covid 20 months ago. I also have POTs now too and a bunch of other symptoms that I struggle with since my infection.
Does the covid reason these problems?
PAC’s are Premature atrial contractions and PVC’s are Premature ventricular contractions.
Tachycardia is your heart beating too fast and bradycardia is it beating too slow. When they say is atrial or ventricular, they are telling you where in the heart the problem is occurring.
The heart has 4 chambers. The two top chambers are atria and the two bottom chambers are ventricles.
You also have electrical nodes in the heart that control the way the heart beats. When you have ventricular tachycardia, they can determine the node which is malfunctioning and do a procedure called ablation to stop that node from misfiring. There are also medications that can sometimes control the tachycardia without having to do ablation.
All that being said, I am not convinced that’s the root of your problem. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it sounds like dysautonomia. Dysautonomia refers to a group of medical conditions caused by problems with the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This part of your nervous system controls involuntary body functions like your heartbeat, breathing and digestion. When the ANS doesn’t work as it should, it can cause heart and blood pressure problems, trouble breathing and loss of bladder control.
The most common symptom is being unable to stand up without feeling dizzy or fainting. Doctors call this orthostatic hypotension.
Other dysautonomia symptoms include:
Abnormally fast or slow heart rate
Anxiety
Excessive sweating or not being able to sweat
Fatigue
Feeling short of breath (especially when you exercise)
Feeling thirsty all the time
Having trouble swallowing
Headaches
Insomnia
Nausea and diarrhea
Vision problems (blurred vision, vision loss, tunnel vision)
The symptoms vary in each person and it’s often hard to get a diagnosis. I am a nurse and very familiar with this condition. I watch a UA-cam channel called Service Dog Paws and it’s owner, Dominique, has dysautonomia. You might want to watch some of her videos. She has a great video on getting her diagnosis.
POTS is associated with dysautonomia and could also be your issue. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that affects blood flow. POTS causes the development of symptoms -- usually lightheadedness, fainting and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat -- that come on when standing up from a reclining position and relieved by sitting or lying back down.
I would definitely get a second opinion and if you think either Dysautonomia or POTS could be your problem, please see a specialist for it. I would hate for you to undergo surgery if it’s not necessary.
my aunt said this too!! i will definitely get a second opinion and or mention this to my doctor
You tube is amazing and so are nurses !
@Maddie Lambert PAC;s and PVC's are extra heartbeats that come right up against the previous one then it goes back to normal. That is why you feel that long pause. They are sometimes called palpitations. I have the same thing and it is a benign condition. I understand completely how scary it is. Mine started when i was 21 and i am now 48 and mine has always been fine. I take an over the counter supplement called Slow Mag recommended by my cardiologist. It helps a lot but i would check with your dr before taking it. Also be careful of things that may irritate the condition. LIke certain meds, caffeine, etc. It won't hurt you but it will aggravate it and it's anxiety inducing. Just know that you will be ok. I almost had the ablation (burning of the electrical receptors in the heart) but my doctor really didn't feel it was necessary. You are not alone. These are very common and can be brought on by stress. Look in to a clean diet and some exercise because it helps! Good Luck!
Your daughter is adorable. I love that you turned the video off to correct your daughter. So many parents embarrass their children on video and that’s just not fair since they have no control over what you choose to do as a parent.
She didn’t even correct her though
I had that happen with my heart for a while too, about a few months. I was told so many things, but honestly the thing that made it go away was doing deep breathing techniques. You basically force yourself to relax which forces your heart to slow down. I hope you're able to control it, heart issues are super scary. I was born with a hole in my heart (it closed by the time I was 4) and I still have a heart murmur from it (my heart like skips a beat periodically and causes this really sharp pain in my chest). But ultimately it's important to recognize that anxiety (getting worked up and making our heart beat faster) will only make those symptoms worse so staying calm is the most important.
RITE!!!
Before you go through any crazy treatments you should really try and see an Autonomic specialist or at least consult your PCP to schedule the very quick and easy Tilt Table Test just to confirm that it’s not a possibility of POTS ❤️
Came here to say this. Dysautonomia and POTS sucks but it’s SOOOO common
My 15 year old daughter has an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist next month to see if she has POTS. I hope you figure out your issue soon Maddie!
@@Mrsjam96 make sure you go to a cardiologist who knows about POTS. 90% of normal cardiologists will send you away with “exercise, more water, more salt” and that RARLEY works.
THIS!! So common and many doctors don’t know what it is or don’t “believe in it” you have to advocate most times to get tested for it yet it’s literally so common!
I was about to say the same thing! Sounds exactly like POTS
I hope you feel better Maddie♥️ I’m sorry you are anxious and overwhelmed and I hope you feel better mentally and physically! 🥰 I got a heart monitor on similar to yours. I found out so far I have a murmur, pots and some issue with my left valve causing a back flow of blood… if I’m remembering that right. Basically for years when I lay on my left side I can hear my heart making a clicking sound. I will know more from wearing the heart monitor.
Did you have surgery to fix the back flow of the blood or you just check the doctor every year?
Hello! So I just found your videos recently and I want you to know that you shouldn't fret too much! I had SVT (super ventricular tachycardia) in the past. I had my first ablation done in the cath lab back in 2019. We did the heat version and I ended up having episodes again. We went back to the cath lab in 2021 and chose the cryo option. I am all better now and I wish you good luck with whatever you choose! Now your heart is a bit different from mine and you should always trust your cardiologist, but I really liked the cryo option because it is more efficient at fixing the problem. I had two types of arrhythmia, I had a piece of tissue and then my heart was also being funky so you could say that I was a bit rare lol. Just know that you are not alone even though it might be scary! :)
Hi Maddie! So, I just want to say that I hope everything is going well, and that you get all the rest you need, and I will be praying for you! Just remember there is always someone there for you! Stay positive!
I've had 2 of the catheter type procedures, they put catheters through my femoral arteries (like on either side of my lady bits, right there where it goes from lady bit to thigh on each side) all the way up to my brain. I was asleep for each one because I requested to be sedated lol. But the holes where they go in are super tiny! The worst part is having to lay incredibly still with your legs closed, for hours after to make sure your arteries don't open back up.
I was also diagnosed with this the first week of January this year & am now on a beta blocker to help with my misfires that my heart does. I could have the ablation surgery also in the future but I want to go get some more opinions but so far they meds have been helping to a certain extent. I have horrible anxiety so I never know if it’s my heart issue or just anxiety some days & its not fun at all! Hope you figure it out & have a safe surgery if you do it!:)
Honey a cardiac Cath is such an easy test. It DOES NOT hurt. I watched mine on the monitor and thought it was really cool.
I think the word "cath" is what is scaring her. Maddie's prob like cath? Like a catheter? the word catheter scares young ones..
Hope you are alright! Stay strong girl! Pray for you that everything will be alright!! Love you!!💕💕💕
Maybe u have panic attacks . You can also see your psychiatrist. I had this before. I also thought i had problems in my heart. Do a lot of lavoratories and everything was fine. But the problems goes on hardly cant breath/cold sweats and palpitations/depress and feel so sad that no one can describe. I ended up seeing a psychiatrist and diagnosed with panic attack. It helps me a lot since then i feel so much butter and happier
Hey Maddie I saw that you didn't kmow the meaning of PAC I did conduct a research on it because I don't know too and I want to know what it is so here it is: Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are extra heartbeats that start in the upper chambers of your heart. When the premature, or early, signal tells the heart to contract, there may not be much blood in the heart at that moment. That means there's not much blood to pump out.
Sweetie have the procedure done on your heart bc it’ll make you feel so much better. I had mine done 6 yrs ago and I was so scared but honey when I got home I think I could have ran around the block. Lol. Take care of yourself for that beautiful baby girl.
Awe I hope everything goes well for you! I was born with a severe heart condition Atrial Septal Defect which is a hole in the heart so I can relate to you when it comes to heart disease. I hope everything goes smoothly for you. Thanks for sharing :)
Have you ever discussed the possibility of POTS (Dysautonomia) with the cardiologist. Myself and my two kids both have it. You get tachycardia, palpitations, dizzy when standing, nausea, GI issues and some people faint when standing too long or sitting too long even. They can to a Tilt Table test and there are meds that help. Look up Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
Just wanted to say I have the same heart issues as you. I’m also a stay at home mom of two. It’s been so freaking stressful so I can totally relate.
Girl, I am new here and I am loving your content. I've been watching every single video of this channel!! You're a strong woman! Hello from Brazil 💕
I've had the radio frequency. They burn out bad bit thru the groin.
It changes my life. I'm so much better now, not fatigued with palpitations any more xx
hope you’re doing well!! i’m currently having concerns with my heart as well; i’ve had a few fainting episodes & the nurse thought it was afib, though the cardiologist isn’t sure. but i’m experiencing the same things you mentioned: dizziness when standing up, pain/pressure in the chest, so i can relate!!
Hey, kinda random from some stranger on the internet, but I have postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) and dizziness when standing up is one of the main symptoms. When I was off medications and undiagnosed, I would get sharp pains in my chest. It's not awful (it wasn't unbearable beforehand, just uncomfortable) now that I am on medications, but on bad days I still get pressure in my chest. Just something to maybe keep in mind/look into!
@@ataraxia2738 hmm that’s interesting!! thanks for letting me know
Hey I just wanted to ask any of you with heart concerns, I don't know if it was just how Maddy worded it in this video, but it came across to me like Maddy's Dr, didn't necessitate her situation, and i was wondering how this would affect someone generally speaking going forward if they are in a situation where being inactive isn't an option (i.e: Maddy's obviously a mum) would someone's active lifestyle excelerate symptoms anatomically speaking such as what Maddy has described here?
Thanks.
@@oldsoulone1217 I agree with you on it sounding like it was not necessitated. Unfortunately, that's just apart of getting diagnostics for things that are more "out of the norm". It took my mother seven years to get her dysautonomia diagnostic (PoTS included; fortunately for me I got diagnosed easily when the onset of my symptoms started due to my moms experience and knowledge about her genetics).
While I can't speak for Maddie or others, it generally is manageable- for me, at least.
Some days are bound to be worse than others; there are days where I'm miserable, in bed and tired because being awake is just too physically taxing. Other days are better and I forget about it. The average day though? It's tolerable. Sit on the floor a few minutes take a breather and get back to what I was doing. Things get done slower than the average person, but hey, that's all right.
Regular, low impact exercise (with some cardio here and there) has shown to help manage PoTS and similar disorders in the long run. Maintaining a normal activity level rather than an inactive one does help aid somewhat when medications are not an option. We do struggle more than most people with getting exercise done, and it is quite discouraging, but some days just accepting that slowly doing chores around the house is exercise enough is a start.
Medications do help SIGNIFICANTLY, but they're not always an option for most people and that sucks. For my friends who read this and can't seem to get a diagnostic, but are willing to try something to manage it a least a little: DRINK WATER!!!! Eat something salty (only if your blood pressure is low). Heck, buy some liquid IV from Costco, or gatorade if liquid iv is too expensive. They seem like such insignificant things, but higher salt content helps raise blood pressure, which gives your heart rate a break from overcompensating. Added electrolytes are a bonus. Dietary changes also work. I went vegetarian for the health reasons and it helped beyond belief. And most importantly do your own research!
That being said, take that with a grain of salt as I have a high tolerance for discomfort. Not everyone's going to be the same, nor are all disorders the same. I am only speaking from my experience.
@@ataraxia2738 Thanks for that. It's just what I was thinking is like, obviously I don't need to explain what your heart/lungs/pulse etc do when someone is active, and cos Maddie's situation is a cardio matter, I was a little perplexed as to why it came off sounding like the Dr wasn't overly immediate with the situation when in a nutshell, from my perspective, it came off to me like a person being active with cardio problems when they don't have an option to rest, would be basically working an already faulty body part and therefore might take a patient's right to choose an option out of their hands if you know what i mean...
I had similar problem with my heart and it turned out it was an infection. The infection was never proved by lab but 2 months of very strong /special antibiotics solved the problem. It has been several years and I have no problem. It can bee anything. Finding the right cause and diagnoses is often very hard. Good luck to you❣️
What infection if you don't mind me asking?
@@okso48299 It was gynecologic and urinary infection. They never found out what kind exactly it was. I had to agree with a medical experiment. Luckily it helped. I was finally treated in Europe. But I was solving the problem also in the US and it would probably ended up the same way. I was treated by antibiotics called Avelox ans Ofloxin. These atb. are used to treat bacterial infection. These kind of atb. are called FLUOROQUINOLONE. Finding the right diagnoses can be very difficult. This is my case but it can be anything else for someone else.
LOL at boy job.. it is actually a job for anyone without a heart condition. Stay off ladders until you have your procedure successfully done. Sisters can also climb ladders - just saying. Lots of people in my family with heart issues, Afib, pacemakers, murmurs, heart attacks - no one has died from their heart conditions. Make a list of questions to take to the doctor for your next appointment. There are some really good accredited medical websites to help you through the questions to ask when your new to all of this.. tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome also called Tachy-brady syndrome also called Sick Sinus Syndrome. (heart sinus not your nose ;) ) Make sure you are getting enough sleep. take a multi vitamin if you don't take any. Have your thyroid and hormones checked while you wait for your next appointment with the specialist (he probably already did this bloodwork though - you can ask). Wishing you good health. Keep smiling!
Prayers for you sweet young lady!
I have pvc’s called bigeminy rhythm. It’s a third heartbeat after a pause. It’s uncomfortable for sure. Makes you feel like you are being squeezed in your neck for that pause and then you can feel a flutter heartbeat.
You are amazing. I’ve only watched a few videos and just feel like you are so responsible and still able to enjoy your life. I saw that you have depression and could relate to the cleaning struggle. Sending hugs.
Hey Everligh hope your doing well. She’s gotten so big and talkative
Everleigh** not everligh
@@itslaneybruh866 it literally doesn’t matter
@@itslaneybruh866 That's not even how Maddie spells her name. It's EVERLY
So I'm 25 and have been struggling with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) since I was 13. Have you considered having your pulse checked at the doctor when laying after 10 minutes, then what it is after sitting, and then standing? A tilt table test is also very accurate. If there's a significant increase it can be a big indication of that. If you're looking for another opinion, sometimes POTS goes unnoticed due to it's wide array of varying symptoms. Mine includes a very fast heart rate, and changes when laying to standing especially. I have a ton of other symptoms, but not everyone does. It's just something else that you can check easily before jumping to an ablation!
Wow I can’t believe how big and smart and talkative everly is! I still can’t understand how you were and are able to not only raise a daughter but also go to school (we’re you in school? Sry I’m new to the channel) and have a job and pay for everything! I’m sure your parents helped so much too! I’m just amazed! You are amazing!
She dropped out then started doing online schooling
Be careful, with stress and try to life a healthy lifestyle.....all the best for you and your family.
Hi Maddie. I also have what you have, though it's less severe for me. What I can tell you from my experience is that keeping your emotions in check is the best way to deal with this. Insulationg your emotions from the daily stress, exercising patience, practicing relaxation techniques along with a good discipline of physical exercising. Those are the things tht worked for me. That and a good eating habit that excludes stimulents the sort of caffeine. It is my guess that a drop of emotional discipline and grounding might go a long way to calm your heart too. This is not something that goes away. But it is somehting that can be managed and kept to a non-intrusive level.
This hair color is made for you. How beautiful
I am so glad there is nothing seriously wrong with you Maddie. 😊
I have to go to the hospital tomorrow too. I needs some tests done to make sure I am ok. 😞
I love you both so much. 💝
My dad had that procedure done it was a simple quick procedure, you wouldn’t be able to hold everly for a week but its a easy recovery otherwise! He is in his 60’s he would almost faint from episodes . It got worse as he got older, he tried dropping coffee and stuff. They told him it made him higher risk for heart attacks. But you also are not 60 . You will be ok!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have POTS. Your symptoms sound like what mine were.
You have to remember that the interpretation of the monitor seems like A LOT bc its a lot of medical terms, but it could be a simple diagnosis. Doctors just dumb it down. I've been seeing a cardiologist yearly since I was 6 weeks old, its a lot of big names and a simple diagnosis.
I have a rare and deadly heart disease that I have gotten treated for since I was 2 years old. What’s your condition called and how many years have you dealt with it
@@emmajane2025 I have a congenital valve defect. I was born with it.
@@nerylover10 I have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). I was born with it but didn’t get tested until I was 2 years old.
Maddie I had the same heart palpitations that you have and it was scary. I took magnesium supplements and it helped with the irregular heart beats. You should try it it might work for you too. Hope you feel better 🙏🏻💕
nothing better than a child's laughter to recharge the soul
Hopefully every thing works out really well for you 😍😍
She is Adorable ....she should be buckled up . Sending you guys HUGS
Don't rail on her parenting, the car wasn't moving. Chill.
I know you probably won’t see this but. You will do great whatever the results are. I have a rare and deadly heart issue and it’s not easy to deal with. So I get it. But I just talk all the necessary precautions to prevent me from passing out or simple going into a bad rhythm. It’s a scary thing but trust the process. I have had to deal with tests and exams since I was 2 years old I am now almost 15 years old.
I love your face without makeup, much prettier
PAC means premature atrial contractions, and PVC means premature ventricular contractions. The atria are the heart chambers (there are two of both the atria, and ventricles) that slow blood flow through the heart before the blood can get to the ventricles where in the right ventricle, blood is pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated, and in the left ventricle the oxygenated blood is pumped to the rest of the body.
A little advice: the less you worry about it the better. Schedule a follow up appointment in 4 months, and let him do the diagnosis and prognosis.
I had a catheter ablation and yes my leg hurt pretty bad for a couple days but I never had a single problem ever again…I was cured of my SVT
Honestly sounds like a panic / anxiety attack
I had the same problem with my heart 10 Yr ago but it fixed itself and did not need surgery. I've no idea what caused it, just one of these wierd things, hope you feel better soon from Scotland 💕 xxx
I had the same thing about 2 years ago! I had lost so much weight! But I would wake up in the middle of the night to my heart going 190 and it would come and go! I had two heart monitors and they said I was fine. So I decided to cut out all caffeine, chocolate, tea, and sports drinks for about 4 months and it has gone away. I can drink some teas now but make sure I eat and I have started working out to help with my anxiety. My heart will go up to 204 sometimes when I run but it’s gotten better. It will be okay
I told you in another video to take 1/4 tsp of Epsom Salt, take it now and every day. 25 years ago my heart was racing, jumping up into my throat really crazy for hour at a time. I went to hospital emergency thinking I was having a heart attack.
The doctor connected my heart so he could see it on a TV monitor.
He said you have a premature heart beat and there is nothing we can do about it. Well I was so disappointed. But now glad. Because he was so wrong. About 3 months later I was having the same symptoms this one day at a friends house during dinner for about an hour. I didn't say anything to not upset anyone. My friend an RN after dinner took my pulse, 85 beats per minute. She said go to a doctor. I said I had and told her what he said above. My daughter drove us home and going in the front door turned on the radio in the front room which we never used.
Out of the radio the first words were
"we have been so wrong"(a Doctor saying about medical profession )"you need 1 magnesium to 1 calcium about 360mg a day. If you don't have enough your 1st heart attack can be your last. "
A man called in and said his girlfriend took 1/4tsp of Epsom Salt(magnesium salfate) for her arthritis.
I had been taking vitamins and minerals with 1magnesium to 2calcium.They manufacturer them to this day the wrong formula.
So I ask my daughter if I had some Epsom Salt. She found some so I immediately took some because my heart was still acting up. That was the end of my heart problems.
My doctor died of a heart attack shortly after.
I take to this day 25yrs.
My friend had very severe arthritic pain she took 1/4 tsp and called me to say her pain left in one hour. It is safe at this amount. Take it and you may not need anything else done. I had a 25yr old friend drop dead of a heart attack standing up to cheer at a ball game. Go see my other comment.
oh my gosh, Everly is actually a little person. She's growing up sooooo fast!
PAC is premature atrial contractions. This can cause extra heartbeats. It’s a type of arrhythmia. Atrial issues aren’t as bad as ventricle issues because the ventricles are what pump to the lungs for gas exchange and to the rest of the body. Both of my Gmas had a-fib (atrial fibrillation) and one is still living at 90 and the other just passed at 92 a few weeks ago. V-fib (ventricle fibrillation) is really bad and can kill you. With atrial issues you can have exhaustion and such which can cause some issues but generally aren’t life threatening and are treatable. Hope they get your symptoms under control. I know they’re very annoying.
When you first started talking about your symptoms it sounded like POTS or some form of tachycardia (what I have). The symptoms can be annoying but treatable.
Wish you all the best
U will grow out of it. I work in a hospital don’t worry it’s not that horrible
I can't see your results because my internet won't load, but I hope you are okay. The comments below make me feel better, though none of them are doctors. I used to exercise constantly due to having to ride a bicycle everywhere, played sports, and went jogging all of the time. Plus, I was on drive-thru at work, and so I had to move constantly. My doctor was concerned my heart rate was too slow. I can't remember, but it was like 40-50, not too bad. It was just because I was an athlete. It's in the 80s now and I'm fat. I also had a murmur for a while. After months of saying there is something wrong, one doctor found it, and she was going to keep me for tests, but I was busy that day and then was put onto a ward, and they said I had somatic hallucinations. It went away, so whatever. Still, my troubles are nothing compared to my helpers' who has a golf-ball-sized hole in her heart that she didn't notice until 22. A lot of young people do indeed die from heart problems they don't know they had. Kudos on being a strong mama and getting it checked out.
I also did a heart surgery because I had a malformation. Mine was called Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome, idk if it's similar to what you have. But basically the procedure is the same they put a "string" (idk the name 😂) in your leg and burn the wrong part in your heart. Idk about USA but in France it's done through local anesthesia (in your leg). I won't lie it won't be the best moment of your life, I had to do it 2 times but I waited one year before the a second procedure because I was too traumatized 😅
But now I'm totally fine and considered healed!
If you have a lot of caffeine maybe switch to decaf I’ve done that as I’ve got a heart condition it’s helped a lot. Stress also doesn’t help
Must sure you drink 2 litres of water a day so you aren’t dehydrated and try not to eat to much salt/sodium
So daughter is so smart n fast learner... Love u guys alot♥♥
3:00 Pre Ventricular Contractions are when your heart is skipping beats, PACs are roughly the same deal.
Awesome Video! I love your channel keep up the good work girl Maddie your super beautiful!! Everly Is pretty!!!!! I Love You Very Very Much!!!!!!

I have A Fib. I’ve had 2 Cardiac Ablations. It wasn’t a big deal. I hope you are okay.
P.S. DONT TAKE ANY COVID VACCINES! Major heart problems
Look it up on the net. If you feel your heart beating too fast, take a deep breath and hold it. It stop the heart from beating so fast
Also, Caffeine can trigger the heart
I have had an ablation. It is not that bad, and reduces your symptoms over time to where you feel like yourself again.
My fiance just had that procedure a month ago. He is feeling a lot better.
I haven’t watched yet but Maddie I hope everything is okay!🙏
I highly recommend seeing an electrophysiologist! Wish you lived in the Dallas area, I would highly recommend the doctor I work for. He diagnosed me with pots 2 years ago, and you have very similar symptoms as me.
You need to check with your doctor about POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome - Dysautonomia). There is a medication that helps (Midodrine).
PAC is premature Atrial Contraction and PVC is premature Ventricle Contraction. I have them both they are not life threatening unless you get a run of them together. I also get Sinus arrhythmia is not life threatening. Atria is your top chamber and Ventricle is your bottom chambers. Of your heart. Tachycardia means fast heart rate. Bradycardia means slow heart rate. A fib is a little more worrisome.
My EKG always says abnormal but that is normal for me, I have Right Bundle Branch Block
I hope you get better, soon!!!! For sure!
not me just finding your channel and being early-
I hope it went well!

I'm not trying to lessen your results because everything is relative and because you are a Mum it's extra scary. I have an extensive health history including tachycardia etc and I want you to know that you are going to be okay and the procedure you are stressing (understandably) about isn't as bad as you think. You are way stronger than many people twice your age. You have overcome and worked through a lot in your young life. Eleven years ago when I was 32 my lifelong specialists gave me two years at the most to live. I've been through a lot but each thing makes me stronger just like you. Seeing you not wanting to watch and react to the reaction of your 2020 life video made me feel really sad. Never think that you have to share everything with your subscribers as you are too precious and important to put yourself through something that isn't helpful to you. Xx
Happy Tuesday, Maddie!😊💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍
i hope you and your kid is ok
Love your channel❤
I have heart problems to but don’t be upset about it!
I’ve had two heart Caths. And both times they went through the artery in the side of my wrist. There are some Cardiologists that will try there first, before going through the groin. Best wishes!
Heu Maddie I watch your video I just came here to said you're amazing person!don't give up Maddie and keep on continue eahr you doing even it's hard.hang on there ya also I believe me ur daughter gonna be best friend you have had!
I know someone who had the tube through the leg up to the heart surgery done. She said it was not bad at all.
God bless you and your baby ❤️❤️
Take magnesium supplements. It will help i promise. Im going through the same thing with my heart and the magnesium has stopped it. I take the brand Now.
I think for women, since we have babies, all other proceedures, are not a big deal in comparison to labor & delivery. Every scary proceedure I had after that, was never a big deal, even surgeries were no big deal for me. Stuff sounds creepy & scary, but most of that is our fear of the unknown. I found that most of the time, my fear was more painful than the proceedures themselves. haha Hang in There, you will get through this!😉💖🐱
Please, please, please get a stool test that costs around $500. A complete analysis to check for parasites, Candida, and especially H-Pylori bacteria. I had an excessive amount of H-Pylori that caused all the symptoms your describing. Every time I ate or was hungry, the bacteria would go crazy! After they found my problem and put me on triple antibiotics, all the heart issues disappeared! Now that I remember that stage, I can say that the bacteria felt like I had a nest of bees inside of me!!! I couldn’t even move, because any activity on my part would make things go crazy. Please! Take the time and test to ensure that you don’t have a bacteria or something else causing this. I was also giving a hear monitor Like yours, so glad that I ordered my own stool test with a chiropractor, found someone who had a good lab and extensive screening for all bacterias. I probably would have had a surgery if I would have left it up to my doctors.
I'm earlyy, hope everything went well 🤞
I have the same thing as you ! My doctor said to me it was also caused by anxiety !
RITE!!!
Maddie please don't die. Please stay alive.
haven’t seen it hope you’re well
I just had that procedure, cardiac ablation. It was not too bad. Uncomfortable but not painful.
Praying for you as normal and believe you should ignore it, go on with your life and remember that doctors do all they can for you - to come back to visit and pay more often
You are tough, young, healthy and have a great future....
Praying for you 🤍🙏🏻
I give you all my luck!🙏❤️❤️❤️ (Didn’t watch the whole thing yet)
You're gorgeous and Everly is beautiful...a crumb of energy 🤣 💕😊🌼
