SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) and Cardiac Ablation

I’m 50. I was diagnosed with and have had short bouts of this in the past, which freaked me out, initially, but were determined not to be anything to be overly concerned about. Over the last several months, the episodes have become more frequent and in a couple of instances, longer (>1 minute, with some light-headedness and a metric frick ton of anxiety to follow ). Cut out caffeine; cut out alcohol, but didn’t really see any difference.

Cardiologist gave me a 7 day monitor, and determined the rhythm was sinus and still nothing to be overly concerned with, but recommended 50mg metoprolol. I tried this for a few months and it seemed to somewhat reduce the frequency of the episodes, but it kept me sluggish to the point I didn’t want to exercise or be very active.

After I had the longest episode yet a few weeks ago (~2 min), I saw a Electrophysiologist, who recommended moving me to Verapamil 120mg, or possibly cardiac ablation.

Opted to try the Verapramil first, and feel much better, but now I’m getting these SVTs pretty much every other time I’m exercising or getting my heart rate much over 120. So, I’m now considering the ablation vs living with this shite.

Anyone on the board have experience with the procedure, good or bad, and could offer feedback. TIA
