what are the presenting symptoms of supraventricular tachycardia?

Question

Supraventricular tachycardia. What to do as a 19y athlete?

Answer 1

Palpitations: Usually palpitations or a sensation that the heart is beating very fast. This is usually associated with chest discomfort, shortness of breath , lightheadedness and or fatigue.

Answer 2

It shouldn't: However, it is hard to know for sure without more details. Most medications don't affect the voice, but there are many things which can impact the voice. See your local ENT or laryngologist for a full evaluation of your voice. Regardless of the cause, many vocal disorders can be improved with treatment of some kind.

Answer 3

They don't: In general, they don't. What kind of voice problem are you having and what medicines are you taking?(it's easier to answer if we have some specifics.).

Answer 4

No, fortunately: According to the package, the protein is from whey (milk) and egg. No ground up testicles, fortunately. If you are a 17 yo male and have had a normal puberty, you certainly don't need any more testosterone. If you have not had a normal puberty, then you should perhaps see your pediatrician/ endocrinologist.

Answer 5

Dietary supplement: Dietary supplements have no mandatory oversight or regulation, unlike otc ; prescription medications. Their manufacturers are allowed to make miraculous claims w/o proving safety ; effectiveness as long as they include standard disclaimer.

Answer 6

Protein contains no.: Protein contains no testosterone. However, testosterone helps build muscle mass with exercise. You will not build muscle without physical activity!

Answer 8

Yes: Supraventricular tachycardia (svt) is a broad group of dysrhythmias that include atrial fibrillation (af). Svts are a very common rhythm abnormality and af among the commonest svts increasing in frequency as we age. Risk factors include thyroid disease, age, hypertension, diabetes, and several others. Treatments for SVT and af include medicines, pacemakers (if needed) and ablative procedures.

Answer 9

Common? no: But what is the definition of "common"?

Answer 10

Depends on the type: There are many types of supraventricular tachycardia. Among the different types; effects & frequency vary among persons. For example, for a very limited av nodal reentrant tachycardia once or twice a year that does not last long and does not go fast, the effects are usually benign. However, if the heart goes very fast you could pass out. Atrial fibrillation of any rate increases stroke risk.

Answer 11

It depends: Some svt are benign and self limited and if untreated you may jug feel uncomfortable (palpitations, dizziness). Some are more dangerous and longer lasting and could lead to syncope (passing out) and in very rare cases to death.

Answer 12

SVT: As we get older, the risks of a heart attack (myocardial infarction) increase, from the demand that SVT may place on an aging heart. In an otherwise healthy heart, the risk of dying from SVT is present, but very low. Untreated SVT can lead to acute heart failure symptoms during the episodes. SVT episodes that persist more than a couple days, can lead to weakening of the heart muscle.

Answer 13

Varies: If you have no symptoms, there are no risks. The treatment of svt is for symptomatic relief. (atrial fibrillation patients: this does not apply to you - in af, the rate must be controlled and some people need anticoagulation.).

Answer 14

See below: Supraventricular tachycardia (svt) is an episodic fast heart rate that usually originates in the upper chambers of the heart. It usually starts all of a sudden and stops all of a sudden, usually is not life threatening by itself, and is mostly rather easily treatable with a cardiac procedure called ablation which is performed by an electrophysiologist.

Answer 15

Arrhythmia coming : From top chambers of the heart (atria)...Can be serious depending upon symptoms. See a cardiologist and get evaluated as many treatments are available.

Answer 16

A rapid heartrate: Svt stands for supravntricular tachycardia which is a disturbance of the heart rhythm usually between 180-220 beats per minute which may cause lightheadedness, shortness of breath or chest pain.

Answer 17

Supra ventricular : Short circuit or reentry in the top chambers for the heart causing regular rapid arrhythmia is called supra ventricular tachycardia.

Answer 18

Fast rhythm: SVT is fast rhythm originating from the top chambers of the heart. Usually regular and rapid. It is easily cured with a procedure by a cardiac specialist: Electrophysiologist... He/ she does an EP study to diagnose the cause of the SVT & an ablation targeting the focus to get rid of the arrhythmia... 90- 95 % successful in most cases.

Answer 19

SVT: SVT stands for supraventricular tachycardia. This is an abnormally fast heart rhythm originating in the top chambers of the heart. The context In which the rhythm speeds up, the speed of fast rhythm onset and termination, and the shape of the waves on the rhythm strip can help distinguish an abnormal rhythm from normal. A heart rhythm specialist can discuss treatment or cure with ablation.

Answer 20

Svt: a type of fast heart rhythm problem

Answer 21

A fast rhythm: Supraventricular tachycardia or SVT is an umbrella term used to describe a fast, regular rhythm from the top chambers of the heart (the atria). It includes AVNRT, ORT, AVRT, Atrial tachycardia.

Answer 22

Svt: Rhythm disturbance which occurs from the upper chambers electrical system of the heart

Answer 23

SVT: You need to have a physician diagnose and treat svt. We have a variety of treatment options. The patient can help prevent svt by not smoking and moderating or minimizing the intake of caffeine or other stimulants and alcohol.

Answer 24

Svt treatment: depends on the type, most can be cured with catheter ablation some require medications.

Answer 25

SVT: When a person first develops symptoms of PSVT, they can attempt the following simple maneuvers, called vagal manoeuvres.1) Hold the breath for about 20-60 seconds.2)Quickly dip the entire face in cold water.3)Cough multiple times.4)Tense the stomach muscles as if the patient was bearing down to have a bowel movement. Relax and see if that helps. If that is not working then see a Doctor.
