I was told (by my cardiologist) some are born that way, drugs(legal and illegal) can cause it too. I was told I was most likely born with my tachycardia.

I was also told that I was most likely born with my tachycardia and Wolff Parkinson’s white syndrome. However, I’m just curious as to why I started showing symptoms and issues when I did. I ended up having a cardiac ablation at 13 — I’m 21 now.

I've only been diagnosed by my primary doctor for Tachycardia. Waiting to see the Cardiologist. Apparently my heart rate has become more elevated over the last 2 years.

I’ve actually noticed my heart rate become more elevated the past couple years as well. I’m wondering if it’s linked to the pandemic and stressful times we all went through. I had an ablation done about 8 yrs ago & I felt like it only helped improve my arrhythmia for 4 yrs following.

My doctor ordered a 48 hour Holter monitor, and it showed that I have SVT. I've been put on Toprol XL and Dyazide (along with Lisinopril that I've been taking for 2 years) for a week now, and feel much better. I have had heart thumping and racing, but not like before.

I have tach all the time but certain meds can cause brad even when it's not listed as a side effect. Don't know why and my cardiologist has not found any reason for either to happen.
