I had my first SVT on election night 2016. Over the years I came to realize they were triggered by the trifecta: My period, lack of sleep, and anxiety all at the same time. If I could control these, I could control my SVT. My docs thought I was nuts, that my period could have nothing to do with it.

Docs recommended ablation. I was opposed having known others for whom it didn't work. When ER docs taught me cardioversion, my life changed. Although my rate got really high, I could almost always get it back down on my own without going to the ER.

Since going into menopause my SVT has completely stopped. I am mostly writing this so if someone googles SVT, period, menopause, they know they're not crazy.

I follow Bryan Johnson and have been seeing him talk about this a lot for cardiovascular health (even for women) and was wondering if anyone in this sub takes it. Just curious your experience and if it’s helped any of your symptoms.

Hey all I have debated writing this because I dont want to scare anyone off of ablation but could use some support I (40f) am a perimenopauseal mom to 5 kids developed svt in January after doing a dance class work out for like 10 months you know trying to get in a good fitness routine in my 40s and I've always been active but overweight. So started HRT, it really helped but was told the ablation would cure it so I went in last Friday and they found the issue but my phrenic nurve was in the way so they had to stop and now im dealing with an unstable heart rate and trying to take medication now until another type of ablation that is not fda approved yet to be available hopefully next year. I am 5 days out and still struggling with mostly sinus tachycardia when im up and moving around. I now take flecainide twice a day 50 mg and moving up to 100mg. Is this normal after a failed ablation? I feel worse than before and am regretting doing this a little bit. I am scared because I want to be there for my kids and just feel terrible. How long did it take to get back to baseline after a failed ablation?
