Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia

[Foggy01]

Has anyone with POTS also been diagnosed with episodes of MAT (Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia)?

I was surprised to be diagnosed with this recently since they ruled out heart issues when they gave a POTS diagnosis and said my tachycardia was benign.

Anyone else have such a change in their situation?

 

It was only an episode of it caught on Holter. I'm not sure how often it's happening.

Are you taking any new meds since your last ekg? I think this type of tachycardia can be caused my bronchitis type of medicines and sepsis or infections. What did your cardiologist say?

I only heard the results of the holter on the phone today from a doctor in the same practice as my gp. I haven't even got to talk to my gp about it let alone a cardiologist yet. That'll be a few weeks away unfortunately.

I was hoping in the meantime to reassure myself that it's something benign with pots but I think it's looking like something else is going on.

I had 2 episodes of what I believe to be that.

Lasted like 5-10 seconds and I jumped up and it went away.

Had heart tested so much too. - Triggers when im lower on florinef, either way everything of mine started when my pots got worse.

I had one episode caught on 30 day.. 11 beats long. Ep said no worries if self resolves and is occasional. I've cut out chocolate and Haven't Felt it since.
