About Me: Female, AR, member since Jun 2008
I am 27 years old and have had palpitations for several years. I recently pushed my GP to refer me to a cardiologist after several in office EKG's that showed nothing and a 24 hour Holter that he said showed "a few skipped beats." My cardio gave me a 30 day event monito

r to wear and I got a call after transmitting one day that I had a 6 beat run of VT and needed to be on a beta blocker immediately. The beta blocer (Toprol) didn't work well with my body (I was taking it 1X a day) and one day, my BP was up and my HR was up, so I went to the ER. I was admitted and had a heart cath the next day which came out good. I had an Echo, which was good and was told I have a structurally normal heart. I then had an EP study done which showed "dual AV nodal phsiology but no tachycardia induced and bundle branch aberrancy but no VT induced." I was told by my EP that I was fine and that the abnormal rhythms were from the upper chamber of my heart and not VT and that I didn't need to continue on the beta blocker if I didn't wish. I felt better after the EP study, but it was a very scary time with all the test and I still have fears when I feel the "thumps & bumps" (as my EP says) in my chest. During all this, I also learned that I have a I/VI systolic murmur. I had a murmur as a baby, but as I got older, I was told that it was gone--had closed up. I guess not! I am glad to see a community with other people like me who have been through the same tests or have dealt with this.

"I didn't have an MRI or stress test done...I guess they felt those weren't needed after the heart cath, echo and EP study. In the EP study, they couldn't induce VT, but had some findings that made them think it was SVT (Supraventricular ..."

"I too had a run of NSVT (which felt like a thud to me-so I can't tell the difference between those and PVC's), however, after an echo, heart cath & EP study, my EP told me not to worry and I am not on medicine or anything. A different EP..."
