I have been dealing with SVT for the past 40 years, and I have seen at least four cardiologists during that time. Dr. Gupta‘s video has given me the best explanation and understanding of SVT that I never received from any cardiologist I ever saw. Thank you, Dr. Gupta!

I have you had an ablation before? I had SVT the other day and my heart rate was 260 BPM. Very upsetting

Thank you, very comforting. I just had cardiac ablation after having an SVT that was 24/7 for over 2 months. I feel better than before I had the SVT.

Amazing, amazing information Dr. Gupta! You are a very talented and a truly gifted man!

Thanks! This video is very informative. My daughter has been having daily SVTs for a few months, though she only gets "stuck" in SVT every few weeks. She takes a daily beta blocker, which helps keep the longer episodes mostly at bay, and she can take extra to try to convert at home. She had 2 EPs in her heart for over 4 hours in the cath lab and they cryo'd 2 spots in January, but the ablation apparently didn't take. We knew her case would be a challenge because her SVT is a wide complex tachycardia. Initially they thought it was VT, but they now feel they've ruled that out. They now think it's atypical AVNRT with aberrancy. At least she converts with adenosine! To anyone afraid of adenosine or ablations: Don't be! Give it a try. She said the worst part about the adenosine is the needle stick for the IV and the worst part about ablation is lying flat afterwords. Everything else is totally fine. 😊 kzread.info/dash/bejne/fq5q17Kfnse_Yrg.html

I have SVT, had EP study done that was unsuccessful this August, on betas now, your video has calmed down about them and I'm back to work now, I didn't know what this was at first and I was afraid. Thank you, now I know what it is I'm not as afraid now.

Thank you for making this video, just had my first STV and really thankful for the information. :)

Thank you for sharing. Your advice is much appreciated. I have SVT's an incorporate some of the techniques you have suggested in this video. During those uncomfortable times the best technique I have found to put an end to an episode is to lay in bed and have my feet elevated above my heart. The transition from standing to being flat shocks the heart back into a more regular tempo. It doesn't always work but it can. Thanks again.

Dear Dr Gupta, your series of videos are truly amazing and I cannot put into words just how helpful they are to me. You are a true star, thank you very much.

So refreshing to have it explained clearly; thank you.

A little trick I learned for getting out of svt. First thing to do is stand up, then take a few breaths and try and feel calm, then take a moderately deep breath, not to big, don't try and force it. As you take that breath, again not to big but not a shallow breath, just a good one, as you inhale lean forward and put a hand or both on your knees, try and keep your head up like you are bowing. Hold that breath and focus on a slower heart rate. It should return to normal. If it doesn't, don't keep trying. Stand back up slowly, take a few normal breaths, relax, and try it again. It works for me every time.

This Doc's good info. became valuable part of the answers to my prayer. I tried all kinds of ways to manage my parasympathetic tones for years. Thanks!

I have recently been diagnosed with SVT after having a 48hr monitor fitted. They seem to be brought on by exertion, particularly activities involving bending down, and I was able to bring on a relatively mild attack during the 48 hr monitor. I am usually very active, and these attacks over the past six months have been having a significant impact on my life. I am currently waiting to see a cardiologist to discuss treatment options.Thank you for giving your time and effort to post these videos which have been really informative and reassuring - I have now subscribed and will look out for further posts on SVT

Have had svt's now about 5 years - initially they were brought on by exercise and when I was drumming intensely - now they trigger more easily and episodes can last hours - did not have success with beta blockers and after my third Covid shot I also developed pvc's - so it's a party in my heart - saw an electrophysiologist back in the summer and he recommended an ablation - still contemplating this but with the almost daily frequency of my svt's and pvc's now I think I am going to do it - with as active as I am, when you get an episode it's not fun and drastically effects you life style as well - thank you for all the information you provide:)

Now in the hospital for a SVT. 200+ bpm. 2 doses of adenosine brought it down. Seems to have been triggered by drinking a cold glass of water. Scary experience, but your video calms me down. Thank you so much for your work.

Great video...just found it. Good explanations of what I have. I'm on meds and also do the breathing exercises and see my cardiologist. Its all very annoying and worrisome so now I'm just trying to get as much information as possible. Thank you.

York Cardiology Hi Dr. Sanjay. All of your videos are very informative. can you please make a video on diastolic disfunction and natural way to cure or stop the progression. Thank u Dr.

I was having them frequently and blue lighted off to A&E where I was given injections of Adenozine After a lot of consideration I decided against an ablation. At the time of these attacks I was going through a long period of emotional distress and possibly that may have triggered them. Now I have found that my 'emergency treatment' of crunching ice or ice lollies halts them. I dread the thought of getting further SVT's and I just hope in the event of another attack the ice will continue to bring my heart back under control. As all the other followers will recognise SVT's are very frightening and often have the symptoms of a heart attack. Radiating chest pain that travels down arms and into the face combined with weakness and feeling you are going to collapse. If the methods suggested by Dr Gupta don't work then do ensure you get to A&E and consult a cardiologist.

I just had an episode 5 days ago, I’m 27 years old. I was given adenosine 4 times, my heart rate was 197 and they couldn’t break the svt my last one was a year ago and I have been dealing with this for four years, it was hard to diagnose, it’s rough for me to deal with so thank you for posting this video

Thanks for this information. The MULLER MANEUVER, which is trying to INHALE rather than PUSH against a blocked airway (the Valsalva maneuver), works far better for me. Over 40 years and many SVT episodes, I used to always try the Valsalva maneuver and it often didn't work - I had to go to the ER several times and get Adenosine. But several years ago I discovered the Muller maneuver and it works every time (sometimes I have to do it more than once). It's a weird feeling to lower your intrathoracic pressure, but it's worth the discomfort. Hope this helps someone!

I had an episode couple of weeks ago. My heart rate was at 240. This was very scary and this came on very suddenly and was taken to hospital. Thank you Dr Gupta I've found this video very helpful.

Hi Dr. Gupta! You are so wonderful and have such a tender and loving demeanor! I’ve had 2 ablations, one in 1999 and one in 2011. I still have SVT’s and had one today. My HR went from 81 bpm to 186 in one second. I became dizzy and felt faint. I got to a chair and coughed hard. That usually stabilizes it but it lasted for a good 4 minutes or so. I have been on Rhythmol 225mg twice daily for about 20 years as well as Metoprolol 25 mg one at night. I weaned off Metoprolol slowly with my doctors okay. Last night I took the last one and this happened today. I went and took one as well as a .5 mg Xanax. My HR returned to normal a few minutes later. I’ve been dealing with this for 32 years now. Have you ever seen a patient have a third ablation? I really don’t want to do that again, but my medications make me dizzy, lightheaded and tired with weight gain. Is there anything you could suggest? Thank you soooooo much for your time ❤️

I work for NHS and occupational health were informed and asked to assess my ability to continue my work which involves driving. I was informed that as I have symptoms when SVT occurs that I cannot drive! DVLA guidelines are online and very clear, so if you have SVT with symptoms be prepared to surrender your driving license until you have been fixed - 4 weeks after meds commenced and working, 2 days after successful ablation! I see cardiologist in 2 weeks and will be requesting ablation as I need to drive and don’t want meds for life (and side effects thereof)

Longest SVT I have ever experienced. Now my SVTs can only be terminated with 6 mg of Adenosine. The aftermath is terrible, even when my heart rate is normal, I get very tired and ridiculously short of breath for several weeks, low effort tolerance, physical and also mental fatigue, it's at it's worst when stressed and after a meal, sometimes there are no symptoms i feel ok till it comes back. Could it be Afib ? Or since I am a very nervous person, could it be anxiety ? I am confused! Thank you.

The EMT said my HR was at about 230 and I arrived at the hospital at a HR 211. Well they got my HR down after asministering 2 kind os medicine as the first wasnt working. Then they administered another type and that didnt seem to have an effect. In the meanwhile trying to find a vein it finally went down to 77 after 45 min later. So after being discharged and leaving the hospital I did kind of worry about having another episode. the experience was a bit traumatic after leaving since I have never really had any medical issues. but it's been on my mind that I am going to have one in any moment.

I first realised I had SVT when I was 7 yrs old. They lasted 2hrs and I had them weekly. Nothing but waiting would make them go away. They often started with me having hiccoughs. I occasionally went to hospital for "an injection" which sorted it out immediately. After my pregnancy at age 27, the episodes started to become less frequent. Now, aged 76, I rarely have them, or rather, I have some very short ones, e.g. 4 or 5 seconds. Though I now have AFib and plenty of PVCs and other similar "jumps" as I call them! I take sotalol, 40mg twice a day but don't feel sure they make any positive difference. Basically I have a healthy heart and had said no to an ablation and pacemaker.

Thanks this has been a great video and explained it so well for me. Thank you Dr Gupta! I have had SVT around 5 times in total however it has only ever happened when I've been excercising. I have been riding my bike and my HR is already around 150bpm and then It suddenly jumps to 215bpm but I've managed to get it down relatively quickly using techniques. And I've now realised as well that in the 30-60mins prior to the SVT happening, I had eaten a cycling specific energy/carbohydrate bar. Not sure if that has been a trigger? I also have a coffee before I leave home in the morning for the ride. And on a few of those occassions I've had 2-3 whiskeys the night before. Does this sound like some typical triggers and things to avoid before and during excercice?

Hello Doctor. what is the different between a run of extrasystole (about 10/14) and SVT? Thanks

I was diagnosed with Wolf Parkinsons 3 years ago at 50 years old. I had a successful ablation according to the ECG results, however, I still have what feels like skipped beats, and work a heart monitor and was told I was having periodic benign PAC's.. A few weeks ago, I was getting these skipped beats every couple of minutes for about two weeks or so. After wearing a monitor, I was told it was atrial Tachycardia. It seems to only last second no faster than the skipped beats. These are they same symptoms I was feeling when WPW was discovered and I still get them. I've been told it would be difficult to find the location for the current AT, due to it being intermittent now. Does the same rules you mention in this video apply to atrial tachycardia, taking into mind that WPW was ablated, or does the fact that I had WPW change the association with my current issues, and should I be concerned about other things?

A question: Is it riskier to have rf ablation done in the left side of the heart? My father’s SVT (avnrt) has been diagnosed to be caused by tissue in the left part of the heart and doctor didn’t go ahead. He said that we will try to control it with maximum dosage of metoprolol (along with other drugs like blood thinners). Also, he found a 80-90% blockage in one artery and said that first we will deal with it and see if my father's condition improves (as a blockage can possibly worsen the SVT). Is it the right way to go about it?

Thank you for this video. I'm going for ablation in a few weeks. I have SVT and its wreaking havoc in my life. I had refused the procedure when it was first suggested but a few months ago I was hospitalised twice because of my SVT. I love that adenosine works so well but it's rotten to get. So I'll have the ablation and hopefully that's it, done and dusted.

22.7 done my ablation (psvt since i was young age) but never show on ecg since it vas short till 24.4 i was 2 hour in svt. im just gona say the procedure went well about 2hrs took till they locate and done everything.nothing to worry about my life change alot. sry for bad anglish :) its not painfull but its strange becouse you are watching what docs doing. im 31 now. Big tnx to my docs Medical Bayer Institute BIH.

Good evening Doctor First of all I want to thank you for your explanations! I have a question: how do the vasodilators cause prerenal AKI? Thank you

I’ve been having svts every other day multiple times a day since December peaking in the 190’s that are quite frightening but my blood pressure is usually in a good range during them. I’ve been bringing it up with my gp but nothing has been done about it. They come very randomly I’ve had 5 today since 9am( it’s 11pm) now from what I believe to be my ocd and I feel miserable.

Thank you so much for your videos, it is rare to get a dr that actually wants to explain how these things work to patients so it can alleviate their anxieties about topics on the heart. One question i have or to anyone in comments, is do they get palpitations at the same time as the extreme heart rate? Making it feel irregular when you feel your pulse but actually its not. So if you felt your pulse it would be like booms with BOOMS that feel foreceful then shallow and extremely fast.

yep, makes you feel like you're going to drop dead... cold water helps allot for me, but only when im under cold water.... but it usually returns. The important thing is if you cant end it, or it doesnt go away on its own(or you unsure!) go to the hospital as it may be VT... which is *immediately life threatening*

Thank you tor for the clear, informative video, you described much of my clinical story. I had cardiac ablation for AV node re-entry tachycardia approximately 12 years ago. My SVT’s were frequent with rates of 250/min where only Adenosine in ER ended my SVT’s. I haven’t had an episode in 12 years, however, I still get palpitations, PAC’s and occasionally tachycardia around 120/min occasionally without wny clear cause. My ECHO is normal, EST negative, Holter shows sinus tachy and some PACs. I am prone to palpitations and mostly at night where I am woken up during my sleep with arrhythmias. I am taking magnesium and it seems to have helped with reducing frequency of arrhythmias. Anything else I can do?

400mg/day of magnesium citrate or gluconate does the trick for me. My cardiologist dismisses this, but I swear it works.

@@pjw1016 make your magnesium oil with flakes and distilled water. Spray your body with it after a shower everyday and you will reach saturation fast. Also take a natura b complex (nutritional yeast non fortified) and extra B1. Omega 3s, ubiquinol, whole food vitamin C (camu camu) :)

I wish I could call you to get your opinion on the experiences I am currently having.. I had what I think is a couple SVT episodes as my resting heart rate was 60 and sky rocketed to well above 150. Since then, I haven’t had any episodes that bad but now my heart rate is still off it seems. It’ll be beat normally for about 5 beats then it’ll go super fast for a couple seconds and go back to normal for a few seconds. It’s scary man.. what do you think?
