I went to the doctor for my heart last week too. I have SVT. I woke up with my heart racing on Friday and after a half day at work trying to get it to calm down with the methods I've used in the past I finally went to the doctor. My heart rate was 200 bpm and my blood pressure was like 144/112. They gave me some clonidine and I finally got it to stop by increasing the pressure in my chest. Shit sucks and now I'm about flat broke. Stupid Supreme Court.

I can usually stop it by increasing the pressure in my chest, taking a deep breath and bending over. That's what I ended up doing on Friday. When the doctor let me leave my blood pressure was like 124/76. I feel fine. But every once in a while it doesn't cooperate and this time I went to the doctor and got some medicine and information.
