PSVT Cardiac Catheter Ablation Experience

I wanted to share about my cardiac catheter ablation for PSVT episodes. My episodes began occurring in 2010, and I had the ablation in 2017. Episodes typically were around 180 bpm, usually lasted less than 5 minutes, and occurred 1-2 times a week.

Thank you. You just unknowingly helped me make my decision on getting oblation. I was scared until I heard your details. I am going to do it. People do not realize how they effect other's lives.

Thank you for sharing Sarah! I am having my ablation tomorrow and watching videos of others share their experience has been the most helpful in keeping my anxiety down so far.

Thank you for sharing. I had a catheter ablation for Afib on October 24th 2018. It also went well and seems like it worked. 😀

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was just diagnosed with PSVT, after 3 decades of not knowing what it was. It has just gotten worse over the years and I passed out a few months ago with no warning. This will help me in my decision, as I think the ablation will probably be in my future.

I'm over 58 years old, have WPW and COPD (breathing problems when exerting, but ok sitting still),

Best success story yet! Thank you! Getting mine done in April.

I was on the catheter ablation in 2015. It was successful as far as it was. The operation lasted almost 4 hours, and it was very painful. I asked them to give me some pain relief. After the procedure, I felt very good, but AFIB appeared at 3 to 4 weeks with short attacks of the fasting creature. Cardiologists have decided that another intervention is needed. On Monday, 04.02.2018, I go to the hospital for a re-cardiac ablation of the heart.

Thanks so much! Seeing a cardiologist in June about this procedure. I am CRAZY nervous for it!! So much so that I’m researching it months in advance. But this PSVT is really uncomfortable and it’s ruining my quality of life

[@uglyboi4491]

Hi how do u feel now after

[@rickyromero8716]

How long do your skipped/flutter beats last ?

[@ronkopp2144]

I AM HAVING IT DONE THURSDAY THE 20TH OF DEC.

[@kampulas]

When you say you used to get a 'drop' before the tachycardia episodes, do you mean a skipped beat/palpitation?

[@uribenorita]

What city and state did you get this done ?

[@evesdrop1982]

I have some type of arrhythmia, still in the process of trying to “catch” it but my dr thinks it may be a psvt. Mine usually lasts only a few seconds but my last run lasted over 10 minutes, the longest it’s ever done. I’m wondering what psvt feels like for those who have it confirmed. My arrhythmia always starts with a flip flop palpitation but instead of just being a single palp, the flip flops keep going, it definitely doesn’t feel like a regular rhythm, it more feels like a fish flopping around in my chest. I’ve heard people describe Afib as feeling that way but not psvt. Anyone get psvt that feels like their heart is flip flopping around? Mine does start and stop suddenly like flipping a switch on and off and only happens fairly rarely.

hello, i am 16 years old and have wolf parkinson’s white syndrome (WPW) and i require an ablation, should o be worried because i’m am extremely scared and nervous could someone please put me at ease ?

[@vaskovujovic9574]

I had mine done 5 years ago. I had suffered prom psvt for 30 years. I even considered suicide because my life with it was horrible. Every second day was rushed to ER. Now it's fine without that crap psvt. I had more pills than food in my life 😁

Sarah ! great video but i have decided not to have procedure ...I cancelled as of today...the risks alone is too much to deal with...
