Experiences with

Ventricular tachycardia

May 2022 was travelling home when my apple watch went into alarm high heart rate. Was actually 150 yards from West Cumberland Hospital 1-30 in morning went to A & E said 4 hours wait. Went to desk and even as was giving details was asked to go into majors. They said as no other symptoms my watch probably

I have been diagnosed on various occasions with Ventricular Tachycardia, likely arising on the outward tract of the right ventricle. I have an absolutely normal heart structurally. Had since 14, now 46. Have had 3 ablations and going for a 4th shortly.

Much of this sounds reasonable but I was rather concerned about the tachycardia. After some googling I came across the following “Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT).

I’ve got a question from those who can read ecgs - my AI analysis says I had some PVCs and then a Ventricular Tachycardia overnight. Obviously at some point the trace breaks up, which I haven’t had before. I’m a bit worried by the idea of having a VT.

I've got ventricular tachycardia. Anyone else has problems with massage?

70 year old male, with an occasional flutter and AVNRT, and having intermittent episodes of supra ventricular tachycardia and considering ablation rather than flecainide and metoprolol. My heart is structurally sound, no blockages and no other meds. I enjoy an un-inhaled cigar on the golf course.

Medical investigations The Indication (reason) noted on my Cardiologist's letter states: Secondary prevention ICD for possible scar related ventricular tachycardia (suffered heart attack 23 years ago and recently ended up in hospital with racing heart beat in excess of 220 bpm) This I take as meaning

Throughout my hospital stay I was only made aware of checking for ventricular tachycardia and was never made aware of the above information in any feedback about general heart electrophysiology.

Im taking anything from 120mg -240mgs of Propranolol per day as i suffer from Ventricular Tachycardia. They just make me listless, tired, confused and depressed and feeling hopless.. Anyone else fee the same?

Is there anybody else who has the same feelings about living alone with ventricular ectopic beats and tachycardia. I am afraid, anxious and I feel unsafe living alone. Your opinion and advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hi , I am finally in full recovery mode after my recent problems with a collapse and left ventricular tachycardia diagnosis. The second ICD implant and lead revision seems to be healing well and it will be coming up to 4 weeks in a couple of days.

Whatever the diagnosis there was always going to be an absolute need to manage and protect against the dangerous left ventricular tachycardia associated with an uncertain non-ischaemic scarring on the LV.

Hi, I am currently suspended from driving following a syncope event brought on by an as yet undetermined single ventricular tachycardia event. Investigations as to type and cause still happening.Whatever I am being advised I will have an ICD fitted.

He said it was likely to be Ventricular Tachycardia and that the top two chambers were not working, he has sent me for an urgent cardiology apt and will wait for that to come through, he said if i get any chest pain be over cautious and go to AandE straight away.

As a result, I've been very anxious about ventricular tachycardia. Recently I've also been struggling with the shower. I usually start to feel dizzy after a while, or sometimes the first sign is a sudden tightness in the front of my neck to the left side.

The device is fitted primarily as a secondary protection against a potentially fatal left ventricular tachycardia. The primary protection is provided by bisoprolol.The atrial lead was set to pace at 60bpm to counter my natural low HR circa 40bpm resting from dropping to unsafe levels at night.

In all, I had almost 56,000 ectopic beats, 17 incidents of ventricular tachycardia (which I JUST started noticing this week, before I got the report!) less than 1% PACs.

My recent emergence of afib attacks are very symptomatic and lasts for up to 10 hours....rapid ventricular tachycardia, breathlessness, pain in center of chest. Had very long episode on Monday and having another one today.
