Recently diagnosed with SVT, seeking advice

Get an echocardiogram in a setting of a structurally normal heart it's not that concerning I've had it too

i had svt in 2019 and got the ablation. could not deal with taking the meds all the time and got bad side effects, but i am also very sensitive to medication. mine always just came out of nowhere and i was living in constant fear that i would have an episode. if it is an option, i highly recommend the ablation

I took metoprolol for a genetic heart condition with similar symptoms and it did not help me in the slightest lmao. I also spent years trying to find a doctor who would listen when I said the anxiety was a symptom, not a separate condition. one 30 day holter monitor later and wow, SVT in my sleep, even occasionally turning into VFib that I miraculously self-corrected (again, in my sleep. I should really be dead). the next drug you'll probably be put on if metoprolol doesn't work is propranolol, but if you have any lingering lung problems from having COVID, you need to be extra mindful because propranolol can cause bronchospasms in people who DON'T have preexisting lung conditions

I take 25 mg of it in the morning and at night. I was having issues with a fast heartbeat and a few svt’s and pac’s were caught on a holter monitor. I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, so my cardiologist put me on it. Best thing that has ever happened to me. He was actually surprised such a small dose helped. My BP isn’t really effected by it either.

I had a brief episode with SVTs a few years ago. Pulse was 150 and Bp was high. Short of breath. I have been on metoprolol for years for PVCs. It was that drug given in IV that stopped the tachycardia and the SVTs.

I took metoprolol for similar reasons but it didn't seem to help with my main symptom of dizziness. I'm not sure how much it actually helped with heart rate, breathing, etc. But my Dr prescribed me a new medication that seems to help with the dizziness.

It’s normal to have thise symptoms after covid vaccine or covid itself. I have other friends who went through the same. Hope feel better.

I had something similar, my heart was racing everytime I got up for no reason. I wasn’t doing exercise or anything. I also was prescribed metoprolol and it does help. You can try taking 1/4 of the pill and see how it works for you. I think it will help you.
