Hello,
This is the arrhythmia, where your heart rate suddenly goes up and bp falls. There are two options for treatment one is to be on medicine like Metoprolol, diltiazem. You needed to be on these drugs life long. Another option is of electrophysiological studies which is angiographic test which can diagnose and treat the arrhythmia permanently in most of the cases. Till you decide you get these drugs prescribed from local doctor.Also, to abort such episodes you should try to cough hard.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sagar Makode
