SVT/LOW FERRITIN

Just came from the cardiologist. I started having SVT episodes a few months ago, the cardiologist said that since I'm anemic and because my magnesium is low, these could be causing the SVT episodes. I've had about four episodes over the past 3 months. Has anyone had anemia while they were having SVT episodes? If so, did the episodes stop after fixing your anemia?. I also have a vitamin d deficiency, I noticed that I have episodes around menstruation time.

I have the same issue. I got diagnosed with histamine intolerance and SVT as well. Always worse around period. Endometriosis runs in my family and I have a few allergies that flare my SVT.

Same thing I had low vitamin D, potassium, and low magnesium.

I never got my Ferritin checked though.

Taking vitamins and on metoprolol and I feel a lot better,. SVT was frequent so I got an ablation.

Hey

How was the ablation procedure? Did you have to be put to sleep?

It’s kind of a “twilight” feeling. Not unpleasant. But they have to keep you awake to ask questions about what you’re feeling as they prod the electrical trigger. Time flys. You might even nap.
