is it ok to have sex with svt? Hello I have recently started having irregular heartbeat as high as 180 . I have had it about about 10 times in a year. sometimes it goes away fast sometimes it last hours. My cardio thinks i have svt and would benifit from an ablation. I am not really wanting to do it. I would rather control this with meds and stress diet controlling. Most of my episodes come from stress. Is it ok to have sex with my wife or should i play it safe. Also do some of you agree ablation is risky? Im 33 4 kids and a wife who need me . I cannot take a chance to leave thhem.
