Hi Tabbyjune. You don’t say if you have a diagnosed heart condition prior to your worries about possible svt?

Hello If I was woken in the night by our Cat I would also have a fast Heart Beat as I chased her around the House !!

On a serious note it sounds like you have undergone Investigation on your Heart, but you don't say when ?? Do you take any medication for your heart ??

Surprised no one has picked up on your fast heart rate during investigation/tests, I am sure someone will be along soon who maybe can answer your question better.

best Regards

The trouble is this is happening every night at the same time where it’s just really raised no I don’t take any medications I’ve had ECGs done and a echo come back normal apart from having etopic beats

Hello again. Try the AFA section of Heath Unlocked. You may get some more reassuring replies & suggestions to help you. Many people with Atrial Fibrillation also get runs of tachycardia and ectopic beats, most of which are nothing to worry about, but you may find the site helpful or they may steer you to more appropriate support.
