SVT?
I had what I believe to be an SVT episode this morning.
I’ve had this feeling before and blamed it on Keto (had it a few times during being on strict keto years ago). I thought it was low blood sugar.
But this morning, I was getting dressed and “sniffled” pretty hard because my allergies are flaring. Anyway, next thing I know, my heart rate was 209. I freaked out! Definitely involved a panic attack in there too. I called 911 and by the time they got there, it had calmed down and they suggested it might be SVT. Or panic. My BP was 110/68, blood sugar was 99 (which I hadn’t eaten anything).
I guess this can happen from coughing… maybe aggressive sniffles too? I’m also probably dehydrated.
Is this something I should see a doctor about? It’s been probably four years since my keto adventure… Obviously would go if this was a regular occurrence but if it’s just one here and there…
