What Is PSVT?
Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) is a type of irregular heartbeat and abnormal heart rhythm. It occurs when the heart’s electrical system short-circuits, causing the heart to beat very rapidly for a short period of time. This can be uncomfortable and may make you feel dizzy or lightheaded. It can happen to anyone at any age, but it is more common in young adults.
What Are the Symptoms of PSVT?
The symptoms can be different from person to person. Some of the people might be having no such symptoms at all. The most common symptom is a feeling of your heart racing with a rapid or “fluttering” heartbeat. Others may feel dizzy, lightheaded, or short of breath, and may feel like their heart is racing or pounding, and they may also feel chest pain.
What Are the Causes of PSVT?
It can be caused by a variety of factors, including congenital heart defects, abnormal heart anatomy, abnormal heart function, electrolyte imbalances smoking, stress, caffeine, alcohol use, and certain medications. It can also be caused by a heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. However, in some cases, the exact cause of PSVT is unknown.
How to Diagnose PSVT?
This can be difficult to diagnose. You will likely be examined by your symptoms, a physical examination and a review of your medical history. A battery of tests may also be ordered, such as an electrocardiogram (EKG), a Holter monitor test, or a stress test to confirm the diagnosis.
How to Treat PSVT?
Treatment for PSVT depends on the severity of the condition and the underlying cause. In some cases, no treatment is necessary. For other people, treatment may include medications to slow the heart rate. In some cases, a procedure called electrical cardioversion may be necessary to restore a normal heart rhythm. Even surgery may be recommended in some of the most unfortunate cases. You may also be recommended lifestyle changes, such as avoiding triggers that can cause an episode.
What Are the Medications for PSVT?
If you have Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia, there are several medications that can help. These medications include antiarrhythmic drugs, calcium channel blockers, & beta blockers. Your treating doctor would work in close connection with you for finding the ideal medications in your case, specifically.
