Question 1

what herb or pill can you take to stop svt?

Accepted Answer

Not herbs: Supraventricular tachycardia and other cardiac arrhythmias need to be evaluated and followed by a physician -- ultimately, probably a cardiologist.  Certain medications and/or substances you're taking can cause or exacerbate this too.  Though magnesium has helped some people with svt, i wouldn't rely solely on this or any herb.  Your primary care doctor is a place to begin, and go from there.

Question 2

what is the best thing to take if you have svt?

Accepted Answer

SVT: If you have svt it can be converted by an IV injection. If its recurrent there are various choices for preventive meds available to your doctor. If the medications aren't adequate there is an ablation procedure that may be successful. There are several good medicines but the choice is by your doc with the knowledge of your individual factors.

Question 3

what is the best thing to take if i have svt do i have to take anything?

Accepted Answer

SVT: Paroxysmal svt which occurs rarely probably doesn't need drug to try and prevent. Svt that occurs more than once a month is worth treating and for some folks even if monthly or less. Treating infrequent arrhythmias takes a long time to know if the treatment is actually working, statistically if month svt can take 6 months to be sure meds working.

Question 4

is it possible to take bcaas with having svt?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It should not be any specific issue with take branched chain amino acid if you have SVT.  Take some Mag glycinate with it.  That would help your SVT.

Question 5

what to do if i have svt and take verapamill 180mg daily is it ok to smoke a little pot ever now and then?

Accepted Answer

Does pot bring on: the SVT?  If so, don't smoke it.  Marijuana routinely increases heart rate in anybody who smokes it. This is pretty benign when people are younger and have no health problems, but as we age, we tolerate this tachycardia less and less well.  Those with a history of SVT or other arrhythmias would be at greater risk.

Question 6

i have svt. i was wondering what i can do in my daily routine to help prevent episodes, without having to take medications. ?

Accepted Answer

SVT: There must a strong reason why your physician has started you on medication for it. Although you could learn the vagal  maneuvers to abort the SVT episodes but don’t try to manage it without medications on your own. Discuss your condition with your cardiologist. Good luck.

Question 7

is it safe to take cialis if you have svt?

Accepted Answer

Talk to cardiologist: Among other cardiac contraindications such as chest pain, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and Ventricular dysfunction there is also warning about "life threatening arrhythmias".  Whether svt falls under category or not needs to be clarified by your cardiologist. As a precaution I will advise do NOT take Cialis without consulting cardiologist first.

Question 8

sharp pain when attempting to take a full breath. have svt but had surg to fix but not same pain. help?

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: Sharp pain associated with deep breathing is usually nothing serious and is not typical for svt, but an evaluation by your primary care doctor is necessary to know for sure.

Question 9

i have svt . can i take azithromycin or zpak?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no contraindication.

Question 10

is atrovent inhaled safe to take with a previous diagnosis of svt?

Accepted Answer

You have not said: whether your SVT was treated or not. If you had an EP and RFA for the SVT then there is no concern that it will recur. If not, then there is the potential that the inhaler could trigger an episode. You should discuss this with your health care providers who have all of your medical history and current condition available to advise you.
