Suggest Medication For Raised Heart Beat And Breathlessness

I am 23 years old and had two ablations done ten years ago for supraventricular tachycardia. I eat healthy, I am not overweight, I do not drink or smoke, and limit my caffeine intake. Since my ablations, I have had a difficult time walking up stairs. For several months, I have walked up a couple flights of stairs everyday in hopes that I would get used to it and it would become easier, but this is not the case. My heart starts to race and I get extremely out of breath. It usually takes anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to start feeling better again.. and this is after only 2 flights of stairs. I also have a hard time doing the cardio machines at our fitness center. My heart begins to race very early on, making me feel extremely sick. I just want to be able to work out and walk up stairs like a normal, healthy person my age. Any suggestions?

How much is your heart rate.
There are very effective drugs available like you should discuss the options of beta blockers like Metoprolol xr 25 to 50 mg.
Also if still not getting controlled then we can add on drugs step by step like Diltiazem cd 90 mg once a day. Also other medicine also available. No need to worry at all.
just get medicine prescribed from local doctor.
