SVT

I’ve had two svt episodes in the last 6 months, the first lasted 40 minutes, hr was 270, bp 190/120, pain down my arm and in jaw and was clammy/dizzy/couldn’t walk and almost passing out when paramedics arrived it had been going for 25-30 mins and hr was 280 and bp dropped super low - heart reverted after another 10 mins after attempting to put the cannula in.
I didn’t stay in hospital apart from for one blood test and result because I was heading on holiday and super naive even though drs were advising against leaving.

Second hr was 200 lasted 20 mins and self reverted when paramedics got there (I freaked out because of first episode severity) hospital put me in the waiting room and let me leave after an ekg.
I haven’t had an episode since and never followed up properly because I know it’s hard to catch on the holter monitor but have had mini 30 second - 1 min episodes lately where it starts but doesn’t ’click over’ and dont know whether it’s worth going back…I feel like I’ve gaslit myself into thinking i made it up
