Your experiences of SVT

[MyFriendFlicker]

Have you had ablation? Did it work? Did you find anything else to stop it?
I was diagnosed recently and have been on calcium channel blockers.
I can go weeks or months feeling ok but the slightest infection sets it off. I'm fed up of dreading it.
I'm seeing the cardiologist soon and want to ask about ablation. He mentioned it when I first saw him but was a bit dismissive and said it didn't often work. I wonder how bad it has to be before you can be considered for surgery.
What I'd really like is just to have a pill to take in emergencies.

Interesting this thread has popped up again now as I'm due to go in next month for EP study and possible ablation.
Giggorata yours sounds quite bad if you have all those symptoms I'm not sure I would consider that successfully medicated. No blue badge, I'm reasonably fit and active unless I have an episode. They are quite infrequent but very dramatic when the happen.

Hi - did you have the ablation and how did it go? I’m due to have one this summer 🤞

I know this is an old thread, but as SVT is quite unusual just posting to say that I've had it for many years, although not badly, and the Valsalver Manoeuvre has stopped all but one very severe attack. It's certainly been my experience that it lessens with age (diagnosed in my 30s; now mid-60s). Often the fear is worse than the symptoms, so it's important to get a diagnosis.
