I asked about how long I should sit out post ablation tachycardia on Saturday and got lots of very kind replies and many asking for an update. So I did go to A&E and after three hours was admitted to the A&E ward. HR was 95 but trying to convert back to normal speed. Doc kept me in for observation to

Morning, from my sunny confines in a cardiac hospital bed in a large hospital in south London. It’s not sunny, bit grey and drab, but that’s not to say that the day is likely to perk up as I’m - hopefully - getting released at some point today. Day six this one, day one was arrhythmia topping out at

Hi all It’s been 9 months since I was diagnosed with Supraventricula Tachycardia (SVT) and associated ectopics (heart palpitations) and I thought it would be useful to list what has worked for me in understanding and managing the condition.
