My SVT procedure seems to have worked :)

Heart health and blood vessels
1

I had my procedure done on 6/11/17 after having suffered with this since 2011. However, it did progressively become worse over these past 12 months.

I was aware during the procedure and didn't feel too uncomfortable at all.

The worse part was having to be still during it. It took around 3 hours and then 2 hours lying flat afterwards. I was quite uncomfortable during this time.

This wasn't related to the procedure but just having to remain in this same position for so long.

My heart beats normally now, no more 180/190 bpm on resting.

Since the surgery, I have developed

Costochondritis, an inflammation of the rib cage, I can only assume this has stemed from my surgery.

All the pain being on the left side.

I'm taking tramadol as pain relief, but it's not helping that much.

So there you go, a successful procedure, all done and dusted smile

Woohoo! That's awesome. I hope it continues to stay fixed and you don't have to deal with SVT anymore

How did you find out that you had costochondritis?

Continuing congratulations, Patricia, on your success.  I know your experience will be encouraging to lots of SVT people.  I also hope you soon leave your costochondritis behind.  Recovery from it can be slow, though.  Take the best of care of yourself.

I went to my Dr told him my symptoms and that's what he said it was.

My consultant who I saw last week for a post op check up said it was possible that the surgery triggered it.

As of today it's much better, so obviously it's healing

Thank you, it's quite remarkable that I no longer SVT.

After the surgery my consultant told me to stop taking my 5 mg of Bisoprolol, obviously I didn't need it anymore.

I was happy with his decision because I really don't like taking medication.
