Well another SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) episode. It started at 1:28pm, I took my medication but that didn’t work.
EMT came with 2 ambulances because they needed a level 2 EMT to give Adenosine because it had been an hour and nothing was taking my heart rate down.
They got IV’s in me and cardio pads on and took me to the next town over. On the way there I got Adenosine and that was awful. I felt my heart stop and restart and I felt this heaviness throughout my whole body. Thankfully my heart rate when from 200bpm down to 120bpm.
At the ER they gave me more metoprolol and it’s staying down but I feel exhausted.
I still have the cardiac pads on my chest that they put on in the Ambulance in case the Adenosine didn’t work and they will keep them on in case I start another episode.
Hopefully this gets me into the cardiologist faster now.
Edit to add that my husband couldn’t be any less supportive and wasn’t helpful at all while we waited for the ambulance. I am so thankful for you all here 🩷.

I just got home from the hospital. Repeated EKG and Cardio bloodwork was good.
The Doctor on call is sending a letter with everything to my Dr and the Cardiologist and he wants me to call my doctor tomorrow and tell her she needs to get me into the Cardiologist as soon as possible.
I get to be on a beta blocker twice a day now. Just add that to the other 11 prescription meds I take daily.
I am really tired from all of this and I hope that I can sleep. Thank you everyone for showing support to me 🩷🩷🩷.
