Alright, so here's my background. I'm 24, pretty healthy, exercise 4-5 times a week, eat decent, non smoker, social drinker, mother of a 4 year old. 4 years ago, I was diagnosed with SVT via an EKG at my Dr.'s office. I was there for a completely different reason so being sent to the ER with a fast heart rate was quite a shock for me. Echo was normal, blood work normal, but it still took 2 days to get my HR to normal. I wasn't in SVT any more once I reached the hospital, just tachycardia from nerves I believe. Anyway, I was put on Coreg, twice a day. 6 or 7 months later, I started getting skipped beats, lots of skipped beats. I went to the Dr, they changed my meds, but the beats didn't go away. I don't know how many times i had to go back to the Dr and complain before they did a holter. I just had my holter done in March of 2010 and it showed lots of short lived SVT, (said my HR would jump up to 160+ for 4 seconds before going back to normal but didn't say how often) lots of PVC's, and 1 episode of V-tach but my dr. disregarded the V-tach and said he thought it was a mistake b/c my heart is healthy. Well, I was doing pretty good living with these problems. But back in July, I was at work and I had felt dizzy all morning. My HR seemed to be stable to the touch though. Well, I set down on a break and all of a sudden, everything started fading. I grabbed my wrist to check my pulse and felt one beat, then nothing for several seconds. I panicked and my HR jumped up to 135. I went back to my Dr, had another Echo, stress test, countless EKG's, everything done and everything came back completely normal. Well, I am now more paranoid than ever. I am currently on a 21 day event monitor and in the last 2 hours, it has automatically found something 5 different times, when I felt nothing at all, which scares me even more. My doctor didn't even want to do the event monitor, I had to request it. He told me I was healthy and to come back in a year. I am scared to death. I live every day in fear that I'm going to die. I'm scared to do anything too physical, though i have made myself zumba 4 times a week. I am home alone a lot with my daughter while my husband works and every day I spend thinking I'm going to collapse. No one else understands how I feel. Every one thinks since the doc said I couldn't die from this, that I should be fine but it's scary. An ablation is an option, though my doctor didn't act like it was neccessary. At the time, I didn't want to do one either but now i'm reconsidering. My doctor says in a healthy, normal heart, VT doesn't kill you b/c it doesn't exist but I am so scared! Randomly, I get these weird feelings of a fast heart rate, then skipped beats, and then fast heart rate, and then pauses, etc for a short 10-20 second run and they terrify me. I can't explain them any other way. I guess I'm just asking for other people's stories so I don't feel so alone. No one else understands and I just feel so lonesome and isolated. I am truly not enjoying life like I should. :-(
