  • question: in laymans terms.....what is the medical problem with this man? He looks kind of young for heart surgery

  • @inkey2, Thanks for asking. He has Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT). You can learn more, or ask other health questions on our EmpowHER website.

    Best,

  • Also, I sometimes get a fluttering feeling in my chest for a split second, sometimes repeatedly when exercising. I feel my pulse and it's normal, so is this even an arrtyhmia? I should mention that I haven't exercised aerobically in months.

  • @DerekChaunessey Hi there, I hope by now you've figured it out. If you're having other negative symptoms, it might be best to visit with a doctor. Visit our EmpowHER website to learn more or to create an ASK for any health questions you may have.

    Best,

  • I had my ablation and my symptoms have virtually disappeared. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I'll be posting more updates soon. Thank you all for your wise comments and prayers.

    Todd

  • Hey brother, I've been going through this for the past three weeks. Just this morning I had a dream as well and in the dream I started having a spasm and I woke up and was about to call 911 I waited it out. Feels like my heart is spasing out. I have to wait one week for holter monitor results to come back. Please share with us how your doing, this would be very important for those who are faced with this scary heart spasms. Thanks man and I hope your doing a lot better.

    Brother James

  • My name is Ron and all my life I have had Palpitation's and the Doc. told me it was normal but as time passed it got worse and now I have to get a pacemaker because my heart stop's but it started when I was 19 and with a short PAC as I aged it got worse and I started to have PAC'S and SVT'S and it put my Heart under stress if u are having the pac and pve dont stop find a DOC. that will help also use a recording devise to catch the sound of the heart for back up but do get help.

  • I have read that natural iodine, such as that found in sea vegetables, normalizes heart arrthymias. That anti arrthmia drug, amadoriane, is an iodine-based one.
