Hi all
Been almost 4 weeks since my AFIB ablation and still get daily what I think is SVT. Tried contacting the cardiologist secretary for advice but she says must come theough GP. GP says go to A&E but each time I go after 3 hours it stops before ECG. My GP has now written to my cardiologist through secretary yesterday and waiting to hear. My rate is usually over 200 bpm with mild chest pain and haven’t been able to get back to work. Anyway thats a bit of background. But some good news. I have a list of things from the internet that I try to stop it e.g.
drink fizzy juice backwards
Lie on right side curled up head down
Hold your nose, close your mouth and exhale hard
Blowing into a straw or ur finger
Coughing
Putting finger down throat to gag
Relax breathing
And for the 1st time ever it stopped after 15 minutes with lying on my right side curled up head down for a few minutes
What a relief ! Thought I’d post in case it helps someone else although many will likely have similar lists !
