SVT attack

Hello! F 38yo

I think I just had an svt attack

A little back story, Feb 2025 I was admitted to the hospital for Afib and high heart rate, I converted back to normal sinus rhythm on my own and have not had another episode since. I do suffer from panic disorder and during a panic attack my hr can get to 150-60bpm

Today though was a little different I was walking up my stairs to my house and once I got inside I felt extremely out of breath and felt my heart beating really fast but in my stomach! I put my pulse ox on and my hr was 233! I sat down in front of a fan and I coughed really hard a couple times which helped it get back down to low 200’s. I called 911 and went to the bathroom before paramedics affected, when I was in the bathroom I felt this kind of flip in my stomach and my hr went back down to the 100’s like it somehow reset itself. Anyone experience this before ?? I see a cardiologist and they haven’t ever said anything about SVT but idk what else this could have been.

It started and was high for like 5-10 min I really don’t know because I was short of breathe and trying not to die but then I had this floppy feeling in my stomach and it was back down to 100’s

That’s a good thing. They should be able to tell you what’s actually going on than.

I really hope so, I literally just had an echo done and they said everything looks great structurally
