back in ED again today having very bad luck lately with my episodes of SVT.

i attached photo of the reading.

another episode came on me today in a shop felt suddenly very unwell pounding heart in my my neck and dizziness and feeling faint. when it slowed down i managed to record it on my kardia monitor which showed VT. husband took me to ED where they put this VT down to interference. feeling quite scared incase this is some sort of new dangerous rhythm i now go into. my phone monitor is reliable and i use it all the time i never seen this rhythm before. ablation in a week never thought i’d actually be looking forward to getting it done but i need some sort of resolution to this it has taken over my life.

May sound hard but it is fear that has taken over your life not AF. Try to be more positive and that fear will reduce and with it you will feel better.

Very common to get interference and your ekg looks like this : don’t worry it’s not a new rhythm get it lots

Sorry you are having such a bad time. It's awful to feel so ill and the fear takes over. When it's a heart thing we are naturally scared. I so hope you feel better soon and your ablation sorts out your heart concerns. Best wishes, take care.

VT doesn’t look like this. This record shows a 2 second period of interference in my opinion.
