Hello selanne8...thanks for asking. I'm having a better day today, although it seems to be something different everyday. I have been off my beta blocker for 2 full days now and even though I tappered off slowly per my doc, my heart is still hyper-sensitive and starts beating fast (only 85-90 bpm) considering I've been used to 60-74 bpm, it feels really fast. I wonder how long it takes for the heart to realize--no more beta blocker--my doc didn't put me on any holter and he said I didn't even really need to do a follow up unless I needed to. I'm just believing he got it for good and I don't have to worry. selanne8, I'm glad to hear your doing so well, I'm sure our "leg" issues will fade with time. The important thing is no more SVT!!!!
LilacGal, thanks for your respone. I can remember one time when I was in the ER having them try and stop my SVT, after they finally got it stopped I went home and noticed these pea-sized knots in the vein where they had my IV, I asked my reg doc about it when I saw him and he called it something...I think it was thrombophlebitis, but I'm not sure. Anyway he said it may take several weeks for it to go away, he even said somtimes it never goes away and that if it bothered me he would put me on some pain meds. It all cleared up in a matter of 3-4 weeks. So if it's the same type of thing I'm sure it will go away. I don't think any of us realize the amount of tramua (spelling???) our bodies go through when they shoot stuff through us via IV.
Stay well guys, let's get through this and on with our lives shall we?
