My girlfriend has this condition, she fears she might not have a long life. Watching this video just gave me a sense of hope, now I can tell her that she has so much time to live, and now I feel I have so much time to give her a happy life
Thank you for sharing your journey you are very brave, I too have Ventricular tachycardia and have felt very alone at times. Your sharing this video gives me great comfort.
Jamie Zalar I also have been burden with this condition for the past 2+ years I have a icd and take various different meds unfortunately I haven’t felt normal in a long time constantly aware of your own heart beat is not a good thing needless to say it brings lots of anxiety I was curious about how it is that your being treated ? Thank you and pray that you remain well
Hi I am also suffering from Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia since child hood and now I am 37 . I do not have any severe symptoms except for heart palpitations not sure what is to be done
How do you manage this do you mind me asking? I have felt alone dealing with daily heart palpitations, skipped beats, tachycardia,,the occasional episode of SVT. All I have to deal is a beta blocker to help my daily fast heart rate (tachycardia). Once I had idiopathic VT.
I got diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia after passing out during a cross country meet. I was 16. After being in the hospital for two weeks I had an ablation that failed. After the second ablation it “fixed” the serious issues, although I still have some flare ups to this day, 6 years later.
My doctor was surprised that I never passed out my heart rate would go up to 320 per min .. please get the heart ablation it will make your life so much better
I’ve actually just been diagnosed with Tachycardia...Today... I’m also 23... I had originally went to my gp about my anxiety and palpitations but after she heard a few other symptoms she had me do a Ambulatory (24hr) ECG, and so I got the results today... I was just doing some research as I didn’t understand my doctor much over the phone (covid restrictions so telephone appointments only) After watching your video, I think it’s helped me appreciate that it isn’t as bad as what you went through and how strong you are to have gotten through it! I honestly need to make changes right now before I also have to share the same story... or worse...
I am feeling so many symptoms but my gp thinks I'm probably stressed. Panic attack etc. Does ECG still work/is accurate if they make you sit for 20 minutes before the test? I have episodes in the middle of the night, i gasp for air and when I fall asleep I wake up the same way. How did you find out?
Im 18 i got diagnosed with tachycardia my resting heart rate is 87-95bpm but im pretty sure tachycardia is when its over 100bpm. But the doctor still diagnosed it and gave me tablets to use.
Hi... I hope you are doing well 🙂.. Could you please let me know how you felt after the eps RFA and how are you going with your daily routine... I'm asking cause I am having this issue and doctor had recommended it...
@@linneamattiasson4503 oh!!! Ok you will be fine don't worry God will show you the way 🙂 I just went through the ablation 3days back doc said it was successful hoping that doesn't come back anymore... Will pray for you 🙂

also like to add that i was diagnosed with anxiety years before my tachycardia diagnosis, everyone would tell me it was just anxiety, but i knew it was something else so if you have constant shortness of breath, light headedness, ectopic/irregular heart beat, please see a cardiologist & get the tests because it’s better to have answers to these symptoms instead of living in fear. i was prescribed a beta- blocker & have checkups with my cardiologist. :) please don’t wait to get answers if u thinks it’s something worse. our bodies know when something isn’t right.
@@alicesky2636 hello! i have slight tachycardia too, but it happens usually after I'm either stressed, ate heavy foods, or done a sudden action. It's definitely a pain in the ass since it's uncontrollable no matter how healthy the person is, but it's nice to find people who can relate.

I’m sure you have it, however vt needs to develop into vfibrillation which leads to cardiac arrest it is possible you had it at 319 but it is so extremely rare.
It’s weird I have these but I’m a guy. I notice it happened a lot when really stressed and sometimes when I played football. If you are reading this you are not alone. I know what it feels like to not have anyone else who understands and to feel afraid.
SVT and VT are very different everyone. VT is when your ventricles beat too quick which is often life threatening and can lead to cardiac arrest. SVT is when your upper chambers (atria) beats too quick and is rarely life-threatening. VT is often life-threatening because your heart can’t completely with blood, leading to your body and brain not getting enough oxygenated blood.
I have been diagnosed with this from last year when I was actually 12 years old, honestly it’s horrible having such an illness at such a young age, the first time I this happened to me my heart was beating 200 beats per minute it was HORRIBLE, I couldn’t really breath and i was nauseous and dizzy ugh I really hated it, anyways feel free to ask any questions!❤
This happened to me Friday. Two days ago. I was terrified beyond belief. I was walking down the street then felt dizzy and faint. I lay on the floor and waited for an ambulance to arrive. I'm terrified I would die. Are you able to walk around with this heart rhythm
I have panic attacks and I have tachycardia and I hate it but usually I feel a rage of fear and heart racing but I can calm myself down within minutes then there is other times as I feed into my fear and my heart races so fast and hard sooo right now just going through test I never had any problems with my “ resting heart rate “
That's where I'm at sort of. I try not to think about it, and trying not to think about it only makes me think about it even more. It's crazy. I am not freaking out as much anymore. I used to panic and call a friend to calm me down, but now I just pray to God and take deep breaths. I am now singing favorite church songs to stay in a happy mood. I also purposely don't look at my heart rate because seeing it go up gradually on it's own when I'm at rest freaks me out. I don't wear the Fitbit anymore. I just try to calm it down on my own if it rises. I don't know what's causing it. This is all new to me.
@@amcboxingfanatic303 Perhaps. I had not had them in a while, and they started back again recently. But I have no fear of them anymore although it concerns me to have them. It's just when I lie down. I had racing heart that woke me out of me sleep a few nights ago. If it's stress, I would like to know for sure (quitting my job now; it's too stressful). If it's something else, I want to know. I handle it better now. But my heart rate will stay up for a long time now when it happens. I just stay calm until it stops. But it's last a while.
"Rage of fear" describes it well. I feel it in the middle of the night when my racing heart wakes me up gasping for air. I haven't been wearing my fitbit for awhile now... do you feel nauseous or dizziness?
I’ve had this to deal with for 9yrs with a defibrillator since 2015 shocked over 50x I’m experiencing ptsd would love to find answers to this and hear from others I’m 40yrs old and not many I can relate to that are my age. Any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated !
@@shybearr nah but like it's palpitations in general feel like this...does yours feel like mild fluttering in center of chest for 6 seconds straight and you can't feel your pulse at all? I am so alone and depressed I can't ask anyone
@@shybearr and unlucky me the only 2 friends I had died of covid cos I live in India and people are dying here so I can't ask anyone and something like this has made me more anxious
Had my first and only Episode of SVT just before I turned 19. I was very healthy but had a lot of stress. When I was diagnosed I was at the gym and my heart rate shot to 240 bpm. I got treated with adenosine at the time. I’m 22 now, not had an episode since but I do get palpitations every so often and chest pain. I don’t really know where to go from here and I’m trying my best to go back to normal but honestly I don’t know what to do.

Just had an hour and a half of my heart beat going from 80 to 120 to 180 that lasted over 1.5hours I felt so weak numb electrified so I put my oximeter on, my heart felt like coming out of my chest then my oxygen went down to 70 which made faint not knowing how low my oxygen went and my BPM high.. I was just browsing fashion websites... I'm still trying to recover how exhausted I am it happpeens often these days but hospitals don't want to see me..I have many medical conditions HYDROCEPHALUS, epilepsy, general dystonia that is too severe I have hypoxia as a result of restricted airways due to spasticity..they suspect MiTo disease but they wouldn't even want to test it or treat what conditions they already confirmed 😢😢
Hi there, thank you for sharing your story with us. We are sorry to hear about your circumstances. We recommend you speak to a GP or cardiologist about your options as they'll have your background and be able to provide guidance tailored to your specific circumstance. Thanks, HF team
I'm pretty sure I have NSVT. I get runs of 2-6 really fast forceful beats randomly sometimes, but especially during intimate activity. Strange thing is, sometimes it doesn't happen even if I engauge in intimate activity multiple times a day. I actually had some really scary NSVT episodes after sprinting when I was 12 and then miraculously didn't experience them again until I was 31. I had plenty of isolated ectopics (picked up some isolated PACs on an ekg once during severe panic attack in the ER) but nothing else. Not sure why I was so lucky in my 20s but now life is basically hell. I have to live in constant fear of death and worst of all, if I have a panic attack, I will surely die. Always teetering on the ednge of the abbyss.
i am currently ...post to be testing for this.. but AT this unfortunate time... I cant even go to my cardiologist because of this virus spreading so fast...and now have to deal with the pain and suffer until this virus is gone..or at least safer to even go to doctor appointments. :( I'm really stressed about it... because its painful, hard to relaxx...im a mom so its not easy too. Any advice anyone?
Ashley Riser I haven’t been diagnosed with it but what are your symptoms my Apple Watch tells me that my heart rate goes from 68 to 167 sometimes and it doesn’t happen everyday
@@driftking4186 its kinda calm down now. but still here. i did testing and they all showed up normal.. SO honestly we have no idea what to do right now..waiting on my primary doctor to see what to do now. and SAME! mine would drop low, then go to 120-140ish sometimes. but they said nothing was wrong.. -_- so honestly I dont know
Ashley Riser try wearing a 30 day recorder or a loop recorded implanted in you. They finally found what was destroying my life. It was vt and now it’s time I take this head on to get my life back. Symptoms- fatigue, palpitations, sweatiness and overall feeling like a trash can.
( im 17 ) it's so nice seeing others that are like me but im not diagnosed , im also not self diagnosing, i have all the simtom's witch really sucks since it means pretty much that i get really lightheaded and short of breath alot so i made friends with the floor, i have not fanted tho i just get super light headed and when i walk i end up leaning against a wall for suport or when just standing and it happens i end up leaning forwords heavly sometimes hurting my knees when they hit the ground but i wouldn't say life is hell tho but it is annoying and a bit scary to deal with everyday tho and but im getting my heart chacked out soon , wish me luck lol
Nice vid I too have VT.. my heart hit nearly 300 bpm I had to be cardioverted the could not do ablation on me has I had a heart attack and the heart muscle is damaged. So they implanted a ICD. I have had 2 shocks and that is really scary. they put me on heart suppression tabs. I have my first meeting with my EP soon so we will wait and see god willing everything will be fine.
Not sure what's wrong with me tachycardia is a newer issue for me. Probably what nearly knocked me on my arse in the restroom a couple of times now. The doctor has now noted two independent episodes of tachycardia as they happened while I was searching for answers for chronic headaches and confused episodes. Brain involvement is still my best guess, but 0 in 4 neurologists agreed with that possibility - despite clear MRI evidence showing a mild cerebral tonsil herniation. On top of all my other confounding symptoms, I've been dealing with progressively worsening tachycardic episodes... So naturally I decided to see how people experience these. Not what I'm feeling. These people's explanations are foreign to me. My heartrate can spike over 150 and I might feel nothing at all or I might feel faint for a few minutes. Do I feel "dizzy?" No. Do I get blurry vision? No, my vision fades out instead. Of course when I nearly passed out I'd never heard of tachycardia. I instead focused on ways mitigate the side-effects of hypoxia which seem to have worked! Despite my 111BPM early today my O2 level was 99% probably because it wasn't being properly absorbed. I can't self diagnose. I can point to research online to guide care if I feel my symptoms are not being addressed, but that's about it (and it hasn't helped at all). 2020 is shaping up to be the year when I am escorted to the ER in an ambulance. I tried preventative care and when my symptoms became too severe to function normally and regularly, I stopped working to get help... I got nothing after a seven month hiatus! I kept on thinking what I have isn't rare I'm not that unlucky, but the more I look at my symptoms and the more I see that they don't match anything (with tests that basically prove they don't match a series of conditions from autoimmune to thyroid and including traumatic physical injury) the more I'm inevitably starting to convince myself that I'll wind up as that odd statistic in a one-off case study. I don't know what issues that I have are purely coincidental and which will lead to a long term fix or cure, but the reality is that I've been suffering for decades already putting it off for far too long and now doctors are confused by my symptoms many seem utterly made up to them others they can see and are backed by hard evidence. All things considered it's hard to believe I made it this far. If my tachycardia gets worse the doctor tells me to go to the ER and get a cardiac evaluation. My heart rate is actually normal now, I can hear my heartbeat so I know if it's too high. My ears also bleed that's why I started going to see doctors over 5 years ago. I foolishly assumed that was caused by distant past head injuries but apparently "that's not possible" and without any recent head trauma my ear bleeds are still unexplained. I thought it could've been the headsets I use, but I went without wearing headsets for months at a time to see if my ears would stop bleeding... They didn't. I put my life on hold and I have nothing to show for it. This is probably the closest thing to stress I've ever felt or maybe it's anger that I'm felling right now?
I have similar issues! Have you looked into POTS. You don't have to pass out to have it. I have it and never passed out. I started to have high heart rate episodes which brought me to ER multiple times. I then would have other symptoms that go with POTS. Over time, the tachycardia episodes became frequent. I now take a beta-blocker that controls my HR.
I'm getting the surgery tommorow Feb 8th 2023 and it's been hell IT prevents me from doing things I used to do like lifting boxes walking etc. I'm excited to get it will update u guys here
@@mohammedjama2569 BEST SURGERY EVER NO PAIN ACCEPT THE iV lol I hate Ivs other than that no pain slight palpatations here and there I felt so amazing I havint felt like this at all in my life I can breath better and everything. Worth it
@Mohammed Jama No they diagnosed me at the hospital when my gasteritis triggered the attack ( gasteririts is an indigestion issue. high sodium and high fat and high acidic foods can cause an attack ) after the last episode I had ( which lasted 3 hours) they had to use a medicine called adenosine. Scary medicine cause it makes u feel like ur gonna pass out. Other than that they stopped my heart and reset it. After that they told me I needed surgery I cried about it the first few days then the day before yesterday I was excited for the surgery my heart always pounded out of my chest and I have asthma so it really didint help at all. I felt an svt attack coming. Gladley it waited till I got to the hospital they did the surgery and they solved it !!! it was the best surgery ever no pain you van take tyeonal no other medicine cause of the blood thinning. If your considering on getting it get it
I have suffered from VT for most of my life. I have had 4 open heart surgeries and about 80 catheter ablations in the past 25 years. in my last go around with it, i went into a VT storm (sustained Ventricular rhythm in excess of 270 bpm) that caused me to be shocked over 60 times in a row both internally and externally. I was pronounced dead 5 times that night. It took the better part of a week to stabilize me, at which point I was medevac'd from CA to University Hospital in Chicago where I underwent a DaVinci procedure along with a standard catheterization to re-ablate an old scarring site. I have been relatively free of prolonged VT episodes for the last 7 years. The moral is, it can and will get bad at some point, very bad...but you can survive if you fight. Drug therapy is not the way, only ablations can save you particularly in the younger patient cohort.
That is insane. Amazing you came out on top and have seemingly felt healthy for 7 years? My arrhythmias do seem to get worse with age. pvc, pac, Afib, nsvt, the whole buffet. 32yrs old…Yippee
That is incorrect info or at least my case, I have suffered the last 4 years with none sustained v-tach and multifocal PVCS I had a ICD fitted September 2019, thankfully it’s never fiRed, my main symptom was the PVCs , after trying many different types of beta blockers a calcium channel blockers which didn’t work, I went to see a electrophysiologist who recommended Flecainide which thankfully got rid of 90% of my ectopics, my electrophysiologist said if the Flecainide stops working we can try a catheter ablation but it’s not going to be straightforward because my PVCs are multifocal.
@@hamblinshogsI’ve had similar experience with multiple shock episodes feel like I’m alone sometimes dealing with this I really just want a solution I’ve had ablations sotolol 120mg now from 80mg suggesting my third ablation
Vintarus Proximus hi how are you doing I got diagnosed with nsvt I now have a icd fitted and on medication Bisoprolol. I’m waiting to see my cardiologist where I intend to discuss the possibility of a catheter ablation.
@@leevweleevwe4813 Hi, Leevwe, thank You for Your answer, I am not feeling well lately, have constant palpitations, and dizziness. I was sent right away to catheter ablation, but in hospital they send me back for further diagnosis, they face me chance to find possibly reversible cause of this pathology, before taking Such radical step (nobody can garantee success of this procedure). How is it with You? Do You have structurally normal heart? Perhaps in Your case, benefits of RF ablation outweight risks. In hospital I saw some people who were like brand New after this procedure 🤗
Rob Oddly enough, Im post-svt attack as of right now. It usually happens to me during night time. It would start off as a panic attack, waking you up from sleep then it would go into svt attack. Imagine waking up to a loud noise and your heart will naturally go ballistic but there is no noise and your heart just continuously going crazy. Your arms and limbs feels clammy, fuzzy? And warm/cold, your breathing feels hundred times heavy. Your stomach might feel like it is churning. Your throat feels as if it is closing up on you and your start to feel light headed. I usually just do coughing and maneuvers. Tonight i couldn’t calm myself down so apparently dunking your face in cold water works :p Post-svt, i get terrible shakes and tremors. Although i look forward to having those because thats when i know the svt attack is done. You also feel extremely tired and just fatigue. It is such an awful experience :( i’ve gone through more attacks than usual recently, probably because of mental stress. Hope this helps!
my mum has ventricular tachycardia but the doctors tell her she is fine and doesn't need any treatment. i feel like the doctors are kind of ignoring this? my mum also says she feels fine but they say she has it. its weird
Can you please share your symptoms of VT? what happened to me is that that when I sleep, I feel rapid heart beats and when I wake up from it and check it in Oximeter, the HR is 130-140-150. So if you can please share your symptoms and at what time of night it occurs?

I have panic attacks and I have tachycardia and I hate it but usually I feel a rage of fear and heart racing but I can calm myself down within minutes then there is other times as I feed into my fear and my heart races so fast and hard sooo right now just going through test I never had any problems with my “ resting heart rate “
I’m the same way I can’t even watch this video because it will freak me out
That's where I'm at sort of. I try not to think about it, and trying not to think about it only makes me think about it even more. It's crazy. I am not freaking out as much anymore. I used to panic and call a friend to calm me down, but now I just pray to God and take deep breaths. I am now singing favorite church songs to stay in a happy mood. I also purposely don't look at my heart rate because seeing it go up gradually on it's own when I'm at rest freaks me out. I don't wear the Fitbit anymore. I just try to calm it down on my own if it rises. I don't know what's causing it. This is all new to me.
@@queline213 i think it can be a panic attack with anexity? Or all 3 in one
@@amcboxingfanatic303 Perhaps. I had not had them in a while, and they started back again recently. But I have no fear of them anymore although it concerns me to have them. It's just when I lie down. I had racing heart that woke me out of me sleep a few nights ago. If it's stress, I would like to know for sure (quitting my job now; it's too stressful). If it's something else, I want to know. I handle it better now. But my heart rate will stay up for a long time now when it happens. I just stay calm until it stops. But it's last a while.
"Rage of fear" describes it well. I feel it in the middle of the night when my racing heart wakes me up gasping for air. I haven't been wearing my fitbit for awhile now... do you feel nauseous or dizziness?
I’ve had this to deal with for 9yrs with a defibrillator since 2015 shocked over 50x I’m experiencing ptsd would love to find answers to this and hear from others I’m 40yrs old and not many I can relate to that are my age. Any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated !

Had my first and only Episode of SVT just before I turned 19. I was very healthy but had a lot of stress. When I was diagnosed I was at the gym and my heart rate shot to 240 bpm. I got treated with adenosine at the time. I’m 22 now, not had an episode since but I do get palpitations every so often and chest pain. I don’t really know where to go from here and I’m trying my best to go back to normal but honestly I don’t know what to do.

Just had an hour and a half of my heart beat going from 80 to 120 to 180 that lasted over 1.5hours I felt so weak numb electrified so I put my oximeter on, my heart felt like coming out of my chest then my oxygen went down to 70 which made faint not knowing how low my oxygen went and my BPM high.. I was just browsing fashion websites... I'm still trying to recover how exhausted I am it happpeens often these days but hospitals don't want to see me..I have many medical conditions HYDROCEPHALUS, epilepsy, general dystonia that is too severe I have hypoxia as a result of restricted airways due to spasticity..they suspect MiTo disease but they wouldn't even want to test it or treat what conditions they already confirmed 😢😢
Hi there, thank you for sharing your story with us. We are sorry to hear about your circumstances. We recommend you speak to a GP or cardiologist about your options as they'll have your background and be able to provide guidance tailored to your specific circumstance. Thanks, HF team
I'm pretty sure I have NSVT. I get runs of 2-6 really fast forceful beats randomly sometimes, but especially during intimate activity. Strange thing is, sometimes it doesn't happen even if I engauge in intimate activity multiple times a day. I actually had some really scary NSVT episodes after sprinting when I was 12 and then miraculously didn't experience them again until I was 31. I had plenty of isolated ectopics (picked up some isolated PACs on an ekg once during severe panic attack in the ER) but nothing else. Not sure why I was so lucky in my 20s but now life is basically hell. I have to live in constant fear of death and worst of all, if I have a panic attack, I will surely die. Always teetering on the ednge of the abbyss.
How r u
i am currently ...post to be testing for this.. but AT this unfortunate time... I cant even go to my cardiologist because of this virus spreading so fast...and now have to deal with the pain and suffer until this virus is gone..or at least safer to even go to doctor appointments. :( I'm really stressed about it... because its painful, hard to relaxx...im a mom so its not easy too. Any advice anyone?
Ashley Riser I haven’t been diagnosed with it but what are your symptoms my Apple Watch tells me that my heart rate goes from 68 to 167 sometimes and it doesn’t happen everyday
@@driftking4186 its kinda calm down now. but still here. i did testing and they all showed up normal.. SO honestly we have no idea what to do right now..waiting on my primary doctor to see what to do now. and SAME! mine would drop low, then go to 120-140ish sometimes. but they said nothing was wrong.. -_- so honestly I dont know
Ashley Riser try wearing a 30 day recorder or a loop recorded implanted in you. They finally found what was destroying my life. It was vt and now it’s time I take this head on to get my life back. Symptoms- fatigue, palpitations, sweatiness and overall feeling like a trash can.
Praying for you 🙏🏻❤️
( im 17 ) it's so nice seeing others that are like me but im not diagnosed , im also not self diagnosing, i have all the simtom's witch really sucks since it means pretty much that i get really lightheaded and short of breath alot so i made friends with the floor, i have not fanted tho i just get super light headed and when i walk i end up leaning against a wall for suport or when just standing and it happens i end up leaning forwords heavly sometimes hurting my knees when they hit the ground but i wouldn't say life is hell tho but it is annoying and a bit scary to deal with everyday tho and but im getting my heart chacked out soon , wish me luck lol
POTS or hypotension ? Bc same
39f and diagnosed with idiopathic vt as well.
Nice vid I too have VT.. my heart hit nearly 300 bpm I had to be cardioverted the could not do ablation on me has I had a heart attack and the heart muscle is damaged. So they implanted a ICD. I have had 2 shocks and that is really scary. they put me on heart suppression tabs. I have my first meeting with my EP soon so we will wait and see god willing everything will be fine.

Not sure what's wrong with me tachycardia is a newer issue for me. Probably what nearly knocked me on my arse in the restroom a couple of times now. The doctor has now noted two independent episodes of tachycardia as they happened while I was searching for answers for chronic headaches and confused episodes.
Brain involvement is still my best guess, but 0 in 4 neurologists agreed with that possibility - despite clear MRI evidence showing a mild cerebral tonsil herniation.
On top of all my other confounding symptoms, I've been dealing with progressively worsening tachycardic episodes... So naturally I decided to see how people experience these. Not what I'm feeling. These people's explanations are foreign to me. My heartrate can spike over 150 and I might feel nothing at all or I might feel faint for a few minutes. Do I feel "dizzy?" No. Do I get blurry vision? No, my vision fades out instead. Of course when I nearly passed out I'd never heard of tachycardia. I instead focused on ways mitigate the side-effects of hypoxia which seem to have worked! Despite my 111BPM early today my O2 level was 99% probably because it wasn't being properly absorbed.
I can't self diagnose. I can point to research online to guide care if I feel my symptoms are not being addressed, but that's about it (and it hasn't helped at all).
2020 is shaping up to be the year when I am escorted to the ER in an ambulance. I tried preventative care and when my symptoms became too severe to function normally and regularly, I stopped working to get help... I got nothing after a seven month hiatus!
I kept on thinking what I have isn't rare I'm not that unlucky, but the more I look at my symptoms and the more I see that they don't match anything (with tests that basically prove they don't match a series of conditions from autoimmune to thyroid and including traumatic physical injury) the more I'm inevitably starting to convince myself that I'll wind up as that odd statistic in a one-off case study.
I don't know what issues that I have are purely coincidental and which will lead to a long term fix or cure, but the reality is that I've been suffering for decades already putting it off for far too long and now doctors are confused by my symptoms many seem utterly made up to them others they can see and are backed by hard evidence. All things considered it's hard to believe I made it this far.
If my tachycardia gets worse the doctor tells me to go to the ER and get a cardiac evaluation. My heart rate is actually normal now, I can hear my heartbeat so I know if it's too high. My ears also bleed that's why I started going to see doctors over 5 years ago. I foolishly assumed that was caused by distant past head injuries but apparently "that's not possible" and without any recent head trauma my ear bleeds are still unexplained. I thought it could've been the headsets I use, but I went without wearing headsets for months at a time to see if my ears would stop bleeding... They didn't.
I put my life on hold and I have nothing to show for it. This is probably the closest thing to stress I've ever felt or maybe it's anger that I'm felling right now?
I m 20 and 6 months ago arrythemia episodes started now i cant breathe and feel heavy on chest
What's your resting BPM sir?
@@NoneOfTheAbove123
Normal most of the time between 60 and 80BPM.
I have similar issues! Have you looked into POTS. You don't have to pass out to have it. I have it and never passed out. I started to have high heart rate episodes which brought me to ER multiple times. I then would have other symptoms that go with POTS. Over time, the tachycardia episodes became frequent. I now take a beta-blocker that controls my HR.
@@janossario3527
I'll have to ask either the cardiologist about it when they give me the heart rate monitor or the neurosurgeon at consultation.

Any updates

@@adrianacoates1353 how did they diagnose your VT was it from a heart monitor or ?
@Mohammed Jama No they diagnosed me at the hospital when my gasteritis triggered the attack ( gasteririts is an indigestion issue. high sodium and high fat and high acidic foods can cause an attack ) after the last episode I had ( which lasted 3 hours) they had to use a medicine called adenosine. Scary medicine cause it makes u feel like ur gonna pass out. Other than that they stopped my heart and reset it. After that they told me I needed surgery I cried about it the first few days then the day before yesterday I was excited for the surgery my heart always pounded out of my chest and I have asthma so it really didint help at all. I felt an svt attack coming. Gladley it waited till I got to the hospital they did the surgery and they solved it !!! it was the best surgery ever no pain you van take tyeonal no other medicine cause of the blood thinning. If your considering on getting it get it
@@adrianacoates1353you should make a UA-cam video on the symptoms and what the surgery consists of. That would really help.
I have it and I'm only turning 32
I have suffered from VT for most of my life. I have had 4 open heart surgeries and about 80 catheter ablations in the past 25 years. in my last go around with it, i went into a VT storm (sustained Ventricular rhythm in excess of 270 bpm) that caused me to be shocked over 60 times in a row both internally and externally. I was pronounced dead 5 times that night. It took the better part of a week to stabilize me, at which point I was medevac'd from CA to University Hospital in Chicago where I underwent a DaVinci procedure along with a standard catheterization to re-ablate an old scarring site. I have been relatively free of prolonged VT episodes for the last 7 years. The moral is, it can and will get bad at some point, very bad...but you can survive if you fight. Drug therapy is not the way, only ablations can save you particularly in the younger patient cohort.
That is insane. Amazing you came out on top and have seemingly felt healthy for 7 years?
My arrhythmias do seem to get worse with age. pvc, pac, Afib, nsvt, the whole buffet. 32yrs old…Yippee
Me too I just turned 32, I go back for my echo and event monitor results on the 13th @@hamblinshogs
That is incorrect info or at least my case, I have suffered the last 4 years with none sustained v-tach and multifocal PVCS I had a ICD fitted September 2019, thankfully it’s never fiRed, my main symptom was the PVCs , after trying many different types of beta blockers a calcium channel blockers which didn’t work, I went to see a electrophysiologist who recommended Flecainide which thankfully got rid of 90% of my ectopics, my electrophysiologist said if the Flecainide stops working we can try a catheter ablation but it’s not going to be straightforward because my PVCs are multifocal.

Vintarus Proximus hi how are you doing I got diagnosed with nsvt I now have a icd fitted and on medication Bisoprolol. I’m waiting to see my cardiologist where I intend to discuss the possibility of a catheter ablation.
@@leevweleevwe4813 Hi, Leevwe, thank You for Your answer, I am not feeling well lately, have constant palpitations, and dizziness. I was sent right away to catheter ablation, but in hospital they send me back for further diagnosis, they face me chance to find possibly reversible cause of this pathology, before taking Such radical step (nobody can garantee success of this procedure).
How is it with You? Do You have structurally normal heart? Perhaps in Your case, benefits of RF ablation outweight risks. In hospital I saw some people who were like brand New after this procedure 🤗

Hi I am also going to have VT ablation next week very scared
how it was
Hello Abdul Rahman how your ablation went..? How r u doing now..??
How does vt feel when it’s happening and how does it start off
Rob Oddly enough, Im post-svt attack as of right now. It usually happens to me during night time. It would start off as a panic attack, waking you up from sleep then it would go into svt attack. Imagine waking up to a loud noise and your heart will naturally go ballistic but there is no noise and your heart just continuously going crazy. Your arms and limbs feels clammy, fuzzy? And warm/cold, your breathing feels hundred times heavy. Your stomach might feel like it is churning. Your throat feels as if it is closing up on you and your start to feel light headed. I usually just do coughing and maneuvers. Tonight i couldn’t calm myself down so apparently dunking your face in cold water works :p Post-svt, i get terrible shakes and tremors. Although i look forward to having those because thats when i know the svt attack is done. You also feel extremely tired and just fatigue.
It is such an awful experience :( i’ve gone through more attacks than usual recently, probably because of mental stress. Hope this helps!
