Heart recording: This is a "chicken and egg" question. You need to wear a heart monitor (24 hours or up to 30 days as needed) to see if you're having an arrhythmia (SVT) causing your symptoms or if your symptoms (panic attack?) are causing your heart to race. A monitor can distinguish these. Good luck, Brandon.
