A member asked:
Sometimes at night i will feel nervous and my heart will start beating up to 130bpm, and slow down gradually in 5 to 10 minutes. is this svt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the nervousness: occurs BEFORE the rapid heart beat my bet would be on SINUS TACHYCARDIA (normal response of the cardiovascular system to anxiety) rather than SVT (an "arrythmia" abnomal rythm,")
