Well, hell, that changes things....

I've had runs of PSVT for years. Non-symptomatic, easy to vagal out of, (with an exception or two), no biggie.

Lately I've been throwing PVCs, anywhere from one every 10 beats to one every 5-6 beats. Still no symptoms and no identified cause (caffeine, nicotine, etc).

I was sitting on the couch watching TV the other night and I went into what I thought was PSVT. I looked at my watch to see how fast it was, and it quit before I counted for 15 seconds. It was about 160-ish.

This morning it dawned on me; the PVCs and the PSVT feel pretty much the same. What if it was a run of V-Tach? That could be a bad thing....

Perhaps I'll see if I can get a holter monitor for a day or two....

What?!? Actually seek out medical care? What is this world coming to. Next thing you know, you'll be seeing a cardiologist! (Maybe even an FP?? Nah; but hey, a dino can dream.)
