Hi Lori, thanks for the ice water tip! I’ll try that for sure!

I have enough underlying conditions that SVT is rather dangerous for me, so it would be great to be able to stop an attack before it gets going.

The SVT alone (if you didn’t have your other conditions) is actually not very serious and rarely fatal. It’s a matter of learning what your triggers are and how to stop an attack.
I take 1/2 a 25 mg. tablet of Atenelol once a day and that has greatly reduced my episodes. But what has REALLY worked for me is this: As soon as I feel an episode coming on I drink ICE COLD water. Yep, just as cold as can be! It works in seconds! I’ve eliminated any more trips to the ER!
The other good tip is to reduce sugar (and of course eliminate caffeine) from your diet. Sugar is a trigger for sure! One tiny miniature cupcake was enough to bring on a 15 min. episode for me last year!
I will keep positive thoughts and vibes that your other conditions can be helped but at least know that while SVT is scary it is rarely dangerous.

The supra ventricular tachycardia sound absolutely horrendous.

One of the “joys” of aging … I’ve had my heart cause me concerns at times.

I’ve switched from coffee to decaf. I drink more teas now, especially herbals.

I am also a vegetarian/vegan, avoid oils, processed food, and bread.

I prefer whole foods, vegetables and fruits.

I hope you feel better.
