Thanks for your continued generosity in bringing us together around your problem.
I d like to share a few things that work a bit for me regarding psvt:
– psvt is a blessing, it is the barometer that tells you when you oush too hard on your body, which is running on adrenaline. Listening to our body means living within our means, a key to self preservation, healing and longevity. Yes, you are limited in your capacity to overdrive and go at 150%, but this very limitation is what saves us on the long run
– psvt is triggered by ectopic beats when cardiac gaba levels are low. Increasing gaba directly is not a good idea. Upregulating gaba using l-theanine ( green tea) as well as bacopa monieri is key
– ectopic beats are created by tired nerves and enhanced electric conduction, which occurs during potassium deficiency. I suggest taking 1gr potassium a day in supplement. Rda is 5 gr, toxicity is 18gr at once. Make sure kidneys are okay though.
– arjuna bark ( 1tsp) and hawthorn ( 1 tsp) twice a day are tremendous support. Starwest Botanical sells them
– heavy nutrient supplementation (all minerals, all vitamins, all amino acid esp. Arginine and carnitine)
– if excess adrenaline cause ectopics, then theoritically downregulating beta adrenergic receptors would help. That s why beta blockers are a bad idea as they would upregulate beta receptors. Cautious though as high beta receptor density is important for contractibility if chf.
– mindfullness meditation: excess adrenaline in the body is enhanced by HPA axis disregulation, and constant worry leading to adrenaline release. Watching the same thought arising 20 times to just replug to the present moment and acknowledge the thought’s hollographic nature, enables to worry less and rewire the brain to live more in the present, i.e. grounded, as opposed to floating in worrying thoughts.
– running and cardio exercise. Release serotonin ( which favor brain plasticity) and gaba. It release ANP which promotes cardiac stability. It increases the “recovery heart rate” and contractibility as well as the baroreflex ( vein’s tonus). Regarding cardiac contractability, i see it as a force that needs to be strong enough to not be disturbed by nearby ectopic foci that would fire and that would take over the sinus.
– organic food and high fat low carbs diet. Ketogenic diets have track record in diminishing seizure. The brain is made of fat. Nerves Axons are covers in fat . Since psvt is a nerve problem, ketogenic would be probably best. Favor organic high omega 3 oils: chia oil, flax oil, and cod liver. Keep oils in the fridge and open and close quickly the bottle to avoid omega 3 being destroyed.
– tai chi is an excelent mindfullness of the body practice. We slowly realise that we are often stressed and subcinsciously contract upper body, which promote inflamation and cardiac problems..
– antioxidant: NAC is the glutathione precursor. Glutathione is the nber 1 key antoxidant in the heart. Coq10, serrapeptase and Glisodin are very good too to take through the day.
– magnesium is key. It avoid calcium excessive release in plasma. Calcium plays a significant role in cardiac contractibility and conductivity. Suggest spraying the body using magnesium oil. The skin is the body’s buggest mouth.
– be careful with any incense that contain thujone ( juniper, white sage) as these are gaba antagonist
– avoid any gaba agonist as they downregulate gaba receptors : valerian, passionflower, chamomille, etc..
– dehydration will cause low bp, and if coupled with adrenaline release ( e.g. climbing stairs) will set psvt. For me, low BP + high adrenaline = psvt.
Hope this help. Sending warmest wishes to all those who share the same reality. There is always worse than being alive ..
Good luck
Hi is there anyway you could talk to me about supplements and all that I need a good regimen and you seem to be very knowledgeable don’t even know if you’ll get this but hopefully you do my email is ntgnnr@gmail.com
I forgot :
– needless to say but 8 hours sleep minimum is primordial , and
– i have not been able to form a view on taurine. It s a key gaba agonist naturally presentnin the heart. If it s a gaba agonist it’s potentually bad because of downregulation ( likewise avoid magnesium taurate) , but taurine also uprgulate GAD , gaba decarboxilase, which convert glutamate into gaba. So taurine does one thing good and one thing bad at the same time. I occasionally take 500mg taurine with a turkey bone broth ( high in glutamate) but that s rather experimental.
Why should you avoid magnesium turate, I feel better on it,less anxity too?
I also take it and find it helps. Anyone tried hawthorn?
Hi Laura,
Do you know about nutritional balancing and hair mineral analysis? Check out drlwilson.com On that homepage, if you scroll down to the bottom and click on hair analysis, it will bring you to information on hair analysis.
Hey guys newly diagnosed with SVT but it wasn’t a surprise. I am a 28 yo male and as far as I remember I’ve always been out of breathe and have a high heart rate after any exercise. Two years ago when my flairs started (continued throughout) I was always told, “oh you have anxiety or you just need to drink more water your probably dehydrated” and so I took it as that. LSS, I finally was able to get my cardiologist to give me a heart monitor and one day about 30 minutes after a morning walk Boom! I had an episode, worse I’ve ever had. Heart rate peaked at 170 then a ER doctor broke the sad yet relieving news. For the past four months I’ve been on gaba and L-Theanine supplements and boy it’s been a life changer for me. Yes some days were not as good but for the most part they helped a lot! While hospitalized I saw a cardiologist who told me that the gaba and theanine supplements are making my SVT worse because it was stimulating my heart. These were of course the only thing that had ever help with my “Anxiety” (SVT). I have a theory, if I control my anxiety, which I know I actually do have I can control the SVT episodes????.
So guys I am stuck between a rock and a hard place and I am scared. Any advice?
