Did anyone else have issues getting their doctor to approve ablation?

I’ve been on metoprolol for 4 months now and my SVTs are definitely not daily like they used to be. But I still do have episodes and they still affect my quality of life. Last time I saw my EP he said to keep on with the metoprolol since it is helping. I’d much rather not have SVT and not be on beta blockers at the same time. I have never required adenosine but my SVTs do go to 300. I’m not sure why some people are automatically referred for ablation and some are not?

Hi, I don't know either. I was initially told I might have an ablation, then later told no point at moment as have a few things going on with mine, SVT, IST, and long QT syndrome. Maybe ask the doctor out right, and if you are like me and forget when I get in there, write down your questions. Hope that helps a.little, best wishes

Thank you. Mine are a bit better but definitely not controlled.
