Oops! i had a question to go along with last post!

SVT means supraventicular tachycardia. It means it originates in the upper chamber of the heart or the atrial. There are actually different kinds. You would need to see your doctor to wear a holter or monitor that could catch one of these episodes to let you know what kind you are having. However most are not dangerous in a structurally normal heart especially when it is a short duration. You need to check it out though. Good Luck!

Bria, Sometimes my heart seems to go CRAZY around the time of my menstrual cycle. Then some months it seems just fine. I'm 42 and could be perimenopausal so it probably depends on how wacked out my hormones get from month to month. I actually asked the EP that I saw in January or February. He said he hears this alot from women and that it probably is hormonal and just not to worry about it.??? I still hate it though! I know what you mean about the holter. Everytime I wear one my heart acts perfect. They never catch the weird stuff. (I wish I could just wear one all the time so my heart wouldn't act up!!...LOL)
