anyone have supraventricular tachycardia?
has anyone been diagnosed with svt, had cardial ablation and after a few years have it return? I had the ablation 7 years ago january and now i have been having more severe symptoms than when i originally had the surgery. just wondering if this has happened to anyone and any new treatments or surgeries that may have worked for you. my surgery went fine, no problems during or after, so i was also wondering if it can pop up in a different spot. all answers are greatly appreciated.
i was also on a steroid(don't know the name) a year and a half ago that i was on 7 years ago right before my surgery, and it didn't help either time.

treatment of SVT can range from simple measures to ablation
simple measures like(valsalva maneuver ,unilateral carotid massage,compression the eye ball ,washing the face with cold water,inducing vomitting)other than this the drug of choice is Adenosine unless you have asthma then calcium channel blocker would be the best choice
others and more aggressive cardiac ablation

No but thank you for your question. I have been debating on whether or not to undergo abalation. I am a runner and very physically fit but my SVT's have been increasing yearly. They only happen during exercise above 140 bpm and will stop in less than a minute if I cease running, "crouch down" and breathe deeply. There is no dizziness or pain and I can resume running when it returns to normal. They have been occuring everytime I run and limit my ability to push myself past 150 bpm. They are also adrenaline induced as they will occur if I trip or get scared (passing car, dog chasing me) while running. Does anyone else have such symptoms?
