different from ventricular tachycardia and presents nowhere near the threat of ventricular
tachycardia.
Well, enclosed below are Chungs own words, he aknowledges a possible VT. Anyhow, he (and all you
others) neglected to say that Annia really should try and present at casualty WHEN she is HAVING an
episode as so many times routine cardio investigations turn up nothing as Annia's may well do.
Quoted message said:Still and all, the primary source of information and clarification should be the patient's own doc.
Yes, except his investigation may turn up zero. Hence she should visit ER/casualty When she is
HAVING an episode of ?VT whatever.

Chung said:Most likely, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).
Quoted message said:Could still be ventricular tachycardia (VT).

Hi, I'm a 20 y.o., female. I don't smoke or drink, weigh 110 lb and have a height of about 5'5. I
have had some type of arrhythmia for about 7 years now. I finally went to see a cardiologist and
have done a 24 hour holter monitor test, although I still don't know the results. I'm also scheduled
for a stress test and an echo within the next little while. I've had several blood tests, a chest
x-ray and a few resting ECGs which revealed nothing out of the ordinary.
My arrhythmia seems to be exercise induced based on the observations that it always occurs after
strenuous activities or sudden movement
(i.e., after working out, climbing stairs-although not very often, and even suddenly jumping up in
the air) ...never any other time. It is initiated by two or three "skipped beats" and has
lasted a maximum of one hour. It is terminated by those same "skipped beats". It makes me feel
quite fatigued and out of breath ...the fatigue lasts for quite a few hours after the episode.
I also noticed that my heart rate after walking up a couple flights of stairs goes up to about 180
beats/minute and I become quite out of breath. I also get dull chest pain sometimes, and have had
some pretty horrible dizzy spells over the years. I went to my family physician regarding those, but
a cause for them was never found and she told me that they were probably due to stress (which I
personally think is BS).
I know that I cannot get a diagnosis on here, but I would just like to get some feedback before my
next appointment. Firstly, what type of arrhythmia could this be (if any)? Secondly, is that rise in
heart rate normal? Any other comments would be appreciated. I'm really worried about all of this.
Thanks you for your time.
Annia
