Neurocardiogenic / Vasovagal Syncope - Heart Disorders Message Board

Hello! I was diagnosed about a month ago with Supraventricular Tachycardia and put on Toprol. Then this past Tuesday I went to see a cardiologist and he said after look at my holter results he didnt see where the GP had seen SVT on it. He ran an echo (havent gotten the results yet) another EKG and ordered a tilt table test for Monday. He said he thought it could be Neurocardiogenic Syncope, also known as Vasovagal Syncope. However, when I looked it up everything says it goes hand and hand with a SLOW HEART RATE. He took me off the toprol so it would be out of my system for the Tilt test and my heart rate sped right back up. Anyone heard of this? Can you have Vasovagal Syncope with Tachycardia? Thanks for any help!!

Beerzoids your comments do not make sense. A cardiologist wanting to make money would NOT diagnose vasovagal syncope! He would maybe suggest an EPS.

Also you tend to relate everyone's symptoms to allergy. In your answer - allergy! This problem is nothing to do with allergy - or MCS either.

Normally having a high heart rate would indeed make you more susceptible to vasovagal syncope. Do you want to have something serious wrong?

As I say you think that allergies and chemical sensitivities are a major cause of illness. That is not true.

Your knowledge of the heart is sadly lacking. This person does not necessarily have SVT anyway, in which case your advice is superfluous.

I have to wonder about your motives beerzoids in relating everyone's illnesses to your own?
