What is your opinion on why the SVT would come back all of a sudden? I have actually decreased my workouts to twice a week in December, so I am not overdoing that. Do you think the changes in my lifestyle have done something to start this up again? I am sticking to my healthy diet, I am not starving myself. What could cause this? Do you think my doc should order anything else? He also wants me to see my EP doctor again.
Thanks for posting your question.
SVT is an arrhythmia which is paroxysmal and can come back anytime. The incidence of recurrence is lower with prolonged episode free periods but it is never ZERO. I would not be very worried about the recurrence but my concern is your symptoms, if it was SVT, then your symptoms definitely call for permanent cure by evaluating through electrophysiological studies (EPS) and as technology has evolved a lot now, they should be able to find a path and ablate. Your exercise and diet may not be contributing factors, but if you are stressed out, it can cause changes in SVT.
As far as testing is concerned, it would be worthwhile to have Holter monitoring done.
I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.
