Hi- I am new here and i am 24/f. I was diagnosed a month ago with SVT that i know i have had for years. I was always told about how i had panic disorder and how my hormones caused it. Anyway, they caught my SVT during an exercise stress test and because of my age and how much of my life it has affected they believe an ep study with ablation is the best option.

Can any of you relate? COuld you tell me your stories about having this procedure done??? I would really appreciate it!!!

Has anyone in here been through this?

I am so glad things went so well for you. I was always thinking that one day when i decide to have a baby that my heart would cause an issue. That was before they diagnosed me, but now that i know i definately want this done for many reasons.

It is nice to hear that the ablation was super easy for you. Were you asleep. They are only slightly sedating me I guess. COuld you tell me a bit about your expierience?

If not, good luck with everything and congrats on the successful ablation!

Ash, if you dont mind me asking, what were your original symptoms?

ash8752 · 08-11-2006, 06:41 AM

My original symptoms:It started when i was 15 or so and i was running with a friend, all of a sudden my heart did this weird flutter and started POUNDING! It took about 5 minutes to make it suddenly flop and beat normal, but fast, again. Ever since then i have had palpitations, flutters, skipped beats and the pounding happen. The pounding is what is altering what i do because it happens when i am doing anything physical, when i get very upset and sometimes when i bend down or jump and land on my feet too hard (such as in volleyball). It's like it gets thrown out of wack. Recently I also have little boughts of what feels like angina, but may not be.

Hope this helps. (Sorry I dont know many of the medical descriptions of it, i just know what i feel.)
