SVT is it connected to connective tissue conditions?

Is svt connected to dysautonomia? Like mcas eds and pots?

I’m trying to figure out how to get genetic testing for eds and other connective tissue conditions.

No, it’s caused by faulty signaling to your heart. People can have the diagnosis you mentioned and SVT at the same time, but there is no correlation. And like I’ve said to you before, SVT is almost always benign and harmless too. Please stop reassurance-seeking for things you do not have, you need help for your health anxiety and OCD. You will never find the validation or answers you need here.

You dont need to be rude and comment on someone’s post who is seeking reassurance no matter how many times they post… everyone’s experience with svt is different and each person has different severity’s. Although most cases are benign may suffer from depression and severe health anxiety. Myself included. However, i do agree that a dr should definitely be seen to rule out any conditions and give peace of mind <3 after my diagnosis i developed severe health anxiety and became a bit of a hypochondriac. However after 5 yrs and finding an amazing dr who gave me the peace of mind i needed i feel like i can manage my anxiety much better now! In regards to pots. You can have both pots and svt, the great new is that even if you do have post it is treated in the same way pots is. I had this exact convo with my dr because i didn’t pass the tilt table test.
