Question regarding svt

Twice in a week I’ve woken up middle of night with what I believe to be panic attacks. I did hotter monitor earlier in the year and it said one episode of svt, but I didn’t even know I had it happen. I also have POTS so my heart rate jumps to 150’s most days anyways just walking in my house. I also have an intermittent LBBB that I can feel and maybe that masked something with feeling the svt episode before.

I’m trying to figure out if what I experienced this last week were panic attacks or svt. The first one was really bad. HR was 175 when I checked it with my watch in the middle of it. The one last night, it wasn’t as bad and it lasted maybe a couple of minutes and I was able to calm down quicker than the previous one. My heart felt like it was beating crazy fast too. The first one though literally had me on the floor and took a lot more effort to come out of it.
I’ve had this happen before, where I’d have a month where I’d have this happen once or twice in a week. Just trying to figure this out.
