Symptoms of SVT

[HowMyHeartSings]

Hi still early days for me with a diagnosis of Atrial Tachycardia three months ago. Last night I had another episode after two previous nights of insomnia with no sleep at all - which I guess set me up for this latest experience. I was woken up from sleep last night with a fast heart rate. I’m on Bisoprolol 2.5 mg twice a day. I measured my rate on my Kardia & it was around 150 and detected ‘possible atrial fibrillation’. The episode passed after 40 mins after doing couple of vagal manoeuvres. My questions are around my symptoms. I felt quite cold during this episode about 4AM. After it passed I tried to get back to sleep but kept feeling a fluttering/palpitation in my right side of the chest that the Kardia wasn’t picking up when I once tried. When this occurs I get quite physically hot and need to urinate frequently and have a stinging pain in my upper chest area that largely subsides when I get up. All this is adding to my exhaustion - not sure how to break this cycle - or what is ‘normal’ to experience.
