Looking for help

Hello brothers/sisters, I have been suffering from Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) or SVT since my childhood I mean it’s a by born disease. When I have PSVT, I usually experience symptoms such as:
• Pounding in your chest ( can be recognized from top of the T-shirt/shirt that some thing is moving)
• Rapid pulse ( from 200 to 300 beats per minute)
• Shortness of breath
• Tightness or pain in your chest
• Anxiety
• Feeling light-headed or dizzy
• Looking pale
• Fainting
These symptoms begin without warning. They can last for a few hours and then stop suddenly. In my childhood it last for a few minutes but now a days bit last for several hours(8 to 10) my age is 23. ….. if any body know about the treatment in Homeopathy please let me know

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I presume that you have consulted Cardiac specialists in your city for your PSVT and am copying an article by Merck on your condition which is recognized as not being dangerous although it is annoying:

Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT, PSVT)

Paroxysmal supraventricular (atrial) tachycardia is a regular, fast (160 to 220 beats per minute) heart rate that begins and ends suddenly and originates in heart tissue other than that in the ventricles.

Most people have uncomfortable palpations, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
Episodes can often be stopped by maneuvers that stimulate the vagus nerve, which slows the heart rate.
Sometimes, people are given drugs to stop the episode.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is most common among young people and is more unpleasant than dangerous. It may occur during vigorous exercise.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia may be triggered by a premature heartbeat that repeatedly activates the heart at a fast rate. This repeated, rapid activation may be caused by several abnormalities. There may be two electrical pathways in the atrioventricular node (an arrhythmia called atrioventricular nodal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia). There may be an abnormal electrical pathway between the atria and the ventricles (an arrhythmia called atrioventricular reciprocating supraventricular tachycardia). Much less commonly, the atria may generate abnormal rapid or circling impulses (an arrhythmia called true paroxysmal atrial tachycardia).

The fast heart rate tends to begin and end suddenly and may last from a few minutes to many hours. It is almost always experienced as an uncomfortable palpitation. It is often associated with other symptoms, such as weakness, light-headedness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Usually, the heart is otherwise normal. The doctor confirms the diagnosis by doing an electrocardiogram (ECG).

Treatment

Episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia often can be stopped by one of several maneuvers that stimulate the vagus nerve and thus decrease the heart rate. These maneuvers are usually conducted or supervised by a doctor, but people who repeatedly experience the arrhythmia often learn to do the maneuvers themselves. Maneuvers include straining as if having a difficult bowel movement, rubbing the neck just below the angle of the jaw (which stimulates a sensitive area on the carotid artery called the carotid sinus), and plunging the face into a bowl of ice-cold water. These maneuvers are most effective when they are used shortly after the arrhythmia starts.

If these maneuvers are not effective, if the arrhythmia produces severe symptoms, or if the episode lasts more than 20 minutes, people are advised to seek medical intervention to stop the episode. Doctors can usually stop an episode promptly by giving an intravenous injection of a drug, usually adenosine Some Trade Names
ADENOCARD
or verapamil Some Trade Names
CALANISOPTIN SR
. Rarely, drugs are ineffective, and cardioversion (delivery of an electrical shock to the heart) may be necessary.

Prevention is more difficult than treatment, but almost any antiarrhythmic drug may be effective. Drugs commonly used include beta-blockers, digoxin Some Trade Names
LANOXIN
, diltiazem Some Trade Names
CARDIZEMDILACOR XR
, verapamil

, propafenone Some Trade Names
RYTHMOL
, and flecainide Some Trade Names
TAMBOCOR
. Increasingly, radiofrequency ablation (delivery of energy of a specific frequency through an electrode catheter inserted in the heart) is being used to destroy the tissue in which paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia originates.




You may like to know that I have been conducting some research with patients who presented PSVT using Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily and the results have been very positive.

You are advised to follow the instructions below precisely and after using Arnica for a month, I would appreciate if you will report your own response..

The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

Order the remedy in the Ethanol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done at least 6 times before sipping a capful of the bottle as prescribed.
