Just LET IT GO ya'll. I ASSume we are dealing w/a competent adult here.(and even if were not,then it's truly out of our area of expertise and ability.). Let's not reduce this to anything worse than it is. Flo, ya know how we feel. It's up to you what you do. But refrain from starting another thread like this, please, to save us all the aggravation. I wish you luck. You will need it, I am thinking.

Geez...ummm...I was pretty much done with this thread a week ago. I did not choose to continue it. All of a sudden I am being ambushed unnecessarily and accused of things I didn't even say. If I said if I go to the doctor and everything is fine then maybe I will chalk it all up to stress, how is that doing nothing? And now I cannot use caps? Caps are also used for emphasis...I am "shouting" at no one. Thank you for the advice everyone. (SBE...I am quite competent, by the way...thank you:)

I have refrained from posting on this thread because you have received many many posts with good advice. I hope you follow it. It just struck me as funny that you say you were done a week ago, then kept on posting about it mostly defensively. I really hope you get to the doctor, and more importantly that everything is OK. :kiss

I haven't even read all the threads but I just want to add my opinion. I had several episodes of SVT over the years from age 14 on. No caffiene, no cardiac meds prescribed po or vagal manuvers(by myself or the MD) worked. At that time IV verapamil was the drug of choice & it worked (10 mg). I also usually went into SVT with rates of 220 after BENDING OVER!!!!!

I had a cardiac ablation in 1993 & have had no reoccurences. ( My thyroid & other tests were negative).

I hope that when you see the MD everything is "normal". I can tell you that I am glad I did what I did to resolve the problem for me.

Good luck.

I MEANT that I thought the thread was finished but people continued posting. I never said I didn't respond.( And you are right...I feel this last time it was mostly defensively.) But I said a billion times I will go to the doctor and that I appreciated the advice. I didn't start this thread to generate controversy. Enough, already:rolleyes:

How in the heck did you find an 8 year old thread?!

I'll give you the same advice the members here gave the OP: you are symptomatic, therefore you should be seen and evaluated by a doctor! In our unit, we have a mantra: don't treat the machine, treat the patient. If the monitor is showing something scary, but the patient is fine and remains fine, then the problem is probably the monitor, not the patient. If your patient is symptomatic, you have a problem, and need to intervene. If you were on my unit and got dizzy, short of breath, and nauseated, we would be paging the doctor to get a 12 lead EKG, among other things. So don't wait-being "really young" is not a guarantee that there is nothing wrong.

The only advice you may receive from this board would be to make an appointment with your Primary Care Provider and discuss your symptoms fully in that setting.

I wish you good health, ian2011.
