This happened to me a week ago--my heart suddenly started racing and I felt dizzy, tired and weak. I thought I was having a heart attack. My heart rate was 240 bpm. They gave me adenosine 6. After a few seconds my heart felt very strange and I told them I was going to pass out. Then after a few more seconds my heart started again at 120 bpm, and I started feeling much better almost immediately. This was the first time it had happened. I'm 55, and it just happened out of the blue.

i had this, i treated it with an ablation and now i'm cured. It's an easy process i didn't feel a thing. i was just sore in the groin area a day afterward, and all was well. i suggest the ablation, it saved me years of treating this with medicine.

God bless..

@melykin hey i have had the same thing, im 20 y/o. i had to get an ecg and get pumped with adenosine 2 times. my heartrate was 200 bpm. im going in for a day procedure called ablation. scary stuff eh! terrible feeling

It's a supraventricular tachycardia, why did the video shows cardioversion as a treatment? Synchronized carvioversion should be used during Ventricular Tachycardia when patient is unstable or refractory to medicine. SVT should be started with carotid massage if not contraindicated followed by adenosine, can anyone tell me why cardioverted straight away ?

I had an episode of Atrial Flutter which lasted 20 hours. They gave me adenosine, which is a real trip, because it causes transient asystole, which means your heart ceases to beat for a very short amount of time. For 3-5 seconds (which felt like an eternity to me) You feel like your going to die... The adenosine didn't work, and they had to do the cardioversion... Anyway I strongly urge anyone with SVT to seek an ablation, it's usually not painful, and has a very high success rate...

i dont know anyone in my family who has a arithimia. i hope anyone with any kind of heart condition can find a cure. eventually as the world progresses and science finds new ways around medicine and treatments, there will be a permanent cure for any heart problem. my heart goes out to the scientists and doctors around the world who are helping make lives better and cures come our way.

@allangee1873 I am having clusters of the premature beating that triggers the SVT. I understand that ablation is like a catheter and they burn the area involved with the electrical impulses. I still have to have tests to see what it is exactly. I would prefer meds over the ablation in some ways. However, abaltion is supposed to be an effective way. Hope all works out well for us both! It is a terrible feeling.

Hi, I'm 23 and 3 days ago, my heartbeats beat 226 bpm while during cardio. It lasted about 10 second and I nearly passed out. I though my watch was out of order but I tried today with another one. Same thing. My doctor thinks I have SV-Tachycardia. It really scares the hell out of me. If I really have this, I'll definitely get the OP.

but still i didn't go to doctor because it was sometimes that it was showing this symptom but now i will go

Hello .. I have 16 years .. My heart goes to 240 beats per minute when I get these tachycardias usually me to bend down .. ... I've done electrocardiogram and echocardiogram ... I made up for it ... at the time of tachycardia does not give me time to get to the doctor .. is it serious this tachycardia? I have been given at least 15 times

I've read many of the very moving comments posted here, and for those of you who are struggling with SVT, my best wishes are with you. Please know that there are many promising treatments in the research pipeline, and that within your lifetime (maybe no so far into the future), we will have a whole range of new treatments. So please hold on and remain positive! The future may be very bright for you.
