Used to happen in high populated areas ( shops, concerts, etc ) Dehydration was also an issue.

Then I started with the SVT, ( where your heart beats at over 200. ) in my case I have to go to the hospital and they inject a drug to force your heart to slow down. Most SVT is caused by Caffene, Dehydration, Excessive Alcohol ), and have since been diagnosed with an accessory pathway between the Ventricle and Atrium in my heart.

Im due for a Cardiac Ablation of the pathway in about 2 months.

But the BIGGEST difference was the Lexapro ( small dose ) in getting rid of the Anxiety and the Panic Attacks. with NO side affects.

Chalk up another SVT victim here!

I don't get panic attacks, but if I get hyped up (usually watching sports) the SVT can start. I can control it with breathing, but when I can't I take a pill and its all good. Would take a pill maybe once every 2 or 3 months.

Been to specialists etc etc, mine is not as severe as others, I never get dizzy or pass out, my heart just decides to beat at 130/150 beats a minute for no reason. It sucks. Everytime you get indigestion or something you think, well thats me done, heart attack. Plays on your mind.

I would be interested to see how you go with your ablation, the doctors have told me if mine gets any worse then I have to get that done too.

Kind of comforting to see that there are others out there with this stupid issue.
