Is this too slow for an svt?i was originally diagnosed with svt, but now when i get these attacks my heart is sometimes 135bpm. dr said 2 slow 4 svt

SVT: Short answer; not too slow for svt. Svt can range from 100-300 BPM (tends to be on the faster side).Usually rapid on-set, rapid off. Ekg to look for abnormal electrical activity, if no svt at the time of test your cardiologist may have you wear a holter monitor which will have a better chance of catching an episode.Pay attention to possible triggers, how long episodes last etc.Share with your doc.
