Getting taken seriously when resting ECG (taken hours after) looks fine
I've been having what I'm sure are SVT attacks for several years now. It's always out of nowhere, with an ice cold chill and thump that goes through the body, and suddenly my heart rate above 200 (I've measured it), I get tunnel vision, I sweat like crazy, and feel like fainting. Then it just stops and I feel exhausted. Once it happened while I was waiting at a small doctor's studio, and they had to lift my legs and slap my face until I came back from it because I had lost all my color in my face.
Every time I end up in the hospital the episode has already passed, my blood pressure is still elavated (around 180 over 100) and my heart rate is around 130, but my resting ECG always comes out "fine enough". So every time they've just sent me home without any further investigation.
When I go to my family doctor that I've changed several times now, nobody knows what it was, and I have just gotten some useless advice and the attacks just kept coming. Every time it has been some simple blood samples and an ECG, which of course shows nother because I'm not having an attack. A while ago ralked to some relatives who are doctors, and they told me straight away that this sounds like SVT and that I should get it checked ASAP. However, I feel that they're not really taking me seriously every time I try to get help for it here. My medical history shows that I've been to the ER several times, always with high blood pressure and heart rate, but with an ECG that doesn't look to alarming. So nothing is really done because it doesn't look to serious when I'm not having an attack.
What can I do to get taken seriously? The attacks are getting more frequent and they drain me so much that I can barely function the coming days.
