Emily22 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 My teenage daughter has now been diagnosed with SVT as well as POTS. Her heart rate goes terribly fast - over 200 bpm. Am feeling confused and could do with hearing from anyone who has experience of these conditions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenGal Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi Emily. I'm so sorry your daughter is having this. I've had some run-ins with SVT over the years. Not fun. How's she doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily22 Posted March 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hi GardenGal, She’s ok but it’s very stressful now that we have to rush to hospital when she gets an episode. What has your experience of SVTs been? Do you take beta blockers?My daughter has just started on Metoprolol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica_ Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 My SVT induced my POTS. I definitely think there’s a link with the two as I have found multiple people who have POTS also have SVT. I had an ablation done a year ago to fix the SVT and haven’t had runs of SVT since. I do still have daily sinus tachycardia because of the POTS but the highest it goes is 170.
