Dr. James Chapman answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Probably: Need more information. I am assuming that testing has been done that identified what type of tachycardia you have, and that structural and ischemic heart disease have been ruled out. If that is the case, the arrhythmia is likely harmless and should not cause you any limitations, Check with the doc that did the testing,
