Hello, for the past 3 years i have suffered from etopic beats that scare me so much.I have been diognosed from SVT which i have had since childhood but this was alwsays infrequent, like id have an attack every 8 monthes and so on but since ive had these etopic beats it induces SVT attacks now several times every week. There is something wrong in my body causing these etopic beats as i have never had them before like this (only during an SVT attack) but all my blood tests and heart scan is normal. I have also been told i have Bradycardia which is a very recent thing too as my heart rate used to be 60 BPM in the past (yes im a freak who regularly counted pulse) and in recent trsts it was always 60 BPM. Now its decresed to 44BPM in the past 3 years. I have other symptoms as well but i am told there is nothing wrong with me.
Today i went shopping with my toddler and my heart skipped a beat (trying to go into an SVT) and i went all faint and felt a heavy head until then it started up again but went into SVT mode then back to normal rhythm mode. Did my heart stop? can etopic beats/SVT cause your heart to stop working? I feel guilty because what if i collapsed and my daughter was alone on her own and someone snatched her, im panicking at what could have been.
Can your heart just stop and send you to collapse?
What could be making my symptoms worse?
