I've had SVT since a teenager (over 15 years now) and have always
thought it would be really helpful to have access to a group such as
this. I just wanted to thank everyone for setting it up and if my
experiences can help anyone then great. I've managed to live with my
SVT palpitations all this time without an ablation (at its fastest my
heart will race up to 250 beats per minute) but will probably need an
ablation one day. I've taken loads of different medication but
verapimil seems to work the best. I've also over the many years
discovered some natural remedies that seem to stop my palpitations, the most
sucessful of which is placing my head in a sink of very cold
water! (I was suprised when a doctor first suggested this but since
I've adopted this method I have not had to visit casualty or have the
dreaded adenosine injection for over 3 years...)

Thanks again for setting up this group!
