Rare experiences to it where pulse rate gets up to 166 for about 10 min. Bit this week I have had it 3 times. The last one lasted 1 hr w some tightness of the chest. I m also experiencing tiredness I m felt I was physically fit doing ash tangs yoga 3xs a week with no discomfort. Any further suggestion on care
Hi Supraventricular tachycardia causes increased pulse rate & cheat tightness. As you are a known case of supraventricular tachycardia, my advice is you follow-up with your cardiologist who is treating you as he knows your case better and will guide you the best possible way. Thank you
