I'm a 24 year old female who was diagnosed with PVCs earlier this year. I had a halter done back in January and it picked up a 7 beat run of v tach. Naturally this freaked me out. Since then I had several EKGs, blood work, and an echo which all came back normal. In March, I was lying in bed and I felt something move in my chest and I had a sudden, crushing pain. I checked my pulse and it was going very fast. I tried to measure my pulse but I was too alarmed by how fast my heart was going. I felt my heart move again and my beats returned to normal. I contacted my cardiologist and he put me on a month long event monitor which only picked up PVCs and normal sinus rhythm. I voiced my concerns about this event, but he did not seem concerned and told me to move past this. I believe that this event was either PSVT or a longer run of v tach. I wasn't counting the seconds so I'm not sure if it was sustained or not. All I know is that it stopped on it's own and my heart was beating abnormally because I had to pee every 15 minutes afterward. I read that a chemical called ANF (atrial natriuretic factor) is released when the heart goes into some form of arrhythmia and can cause frequent urination. Since I was not being recorded during this event, I will never know if it was PSVT or NSVT. Its hard for me to move on from because my doctor brushes me off and the fact that everything I have read about v tach refers to it as a dangerous arrhythmia and a precursor to something worse. My question is what causes v tach to happen in a health heart? Is it just as deadly as it is in an unhealthy heart? Have any of you experienced v tach and have a structurally normal heart with no other disorders? How do you manage it? What does it feel like when you experience it? Can you differentiate PSVT from NSVT without a reading? I also do not have a family history of arrhythmia or sudden death.
