I was told to rub my neck artery it releases a calming hormone for heart. I lay down and take a deep breath hold and wait for heart to skip beat back into rythem sometimes it takes a few times. I go in for heart ultra sound tomorrow. Last time it showed fine.
It's not lifethreatening at all, I have it, all you need to do is shut your mouth and then act like you're straining for a shit, it doesn't always completely bring your heart rate back to normal, but it always at least slows it a noticeable amount. I find rubbing your chest whilst sitting or lying down and breathing really deeply and slowly helps too.
i had svt and i used to do that all the time. take in a full breath, crouch and try and control your heart beat, you'll feel it slow down and then just stand up again.
I get this alot too and it seems to trigger mostly when i lean forward too fast after exercise. My heart just goes insane, sometimes i cant even feel the beat that well and its irregular but superfast and sometimes its so fast and hard it moves my whole body. Can last from about 10 minutes to 50 minutes and when it stops I get a rush of blood to my head and I think my heart stopped. I just sit there and cant take my mind off it thinking im gonna die any minute...really scary.
My SVT's are different then a fast heart rate from excercising,as an example.Actually for me ,getting active with your heart in the right circuit is better for you.My attacks come when my heart wasnt doing anything but if you make it pump normally,it won;t switch the circuit unless you have too much caffeine.
Ya I have this... the dr's don't seem too concerned but it scares me! Plus after one episode I had an EKG that said I had atrial enlargement and ischemia, but then it happened again and they didn't say anything about an abnormal ecg, well besides the svt
