Is a sinus tachycardia a type of supraventricular tachycardia?

---

I have regular sinus tachycardia, but my cardiologist mentioned that I do NOT have any sort of arrhythmia of any kind. He previously gave me metoprolol, which didn't help much. Later he gave me metoprolol tartrate and it has been effective in slowing my pulse even if I take 15 mg (1/2 a tablet) a day. Do I have any sort of supraventricular tachycardia?

Thanks.
well technically sinus tachycardia is supraventricular tachycardia. the only difference is that with supraventricular tachycardia you do not see the p waves. the p waves are hidden in the t waves. but in sinus tachycardia you can see the p waves. let me summarize it like this. a sinus tachycardia will always be a supraventricular tachycardia but a supraventricular tachycardia will not always be a sinus tachycardia  (+ info)

Any link between inappropriate sinus tachycardia and sudden cardiac arrest?

Does having inappropriate sinus tachycardia make you any more likely to have a sudden cardiac arrest?
Does taking metoprolol succinate for the tachycardia help prevent sudden cardiac arrest at all?
Unfortunately, yes.

What happens when you go suddenly super-tachycardic is that your left ventricle is trying to pump so fast, that it's not really opening up all the way to allow the blood to flow through. This causes less blood to be moved, and cardiac arrest to occure.

Keep in mind, when we are talking about cardiac arrest from tachycardia, you're heart is beating in excess of 200beat per minute. Normal resting heart rate is 60-80bpm.  (+ info)

I've just been diagnosed with sinus tachycardia. I have anorexia + bulimia. Is there a connection btwn the 2?

---

I've had an eating disorder for 10 years, I was wondering if it has anything to do with me being diagnosed with sinus tachycardia? Thanks :)
YES. Anorexia and bulimia cause multiple organ failure, and it is worse on the heart. You should get help before it's too late. If you have been sick for ten years, that time can be fast approaching. Trust me, you don't want to have to have a heart transplant. I am waiting for a heart and it is so hard and painful waiting to live and waiting to die all at once. Is that what you want? Your heart problem is only going to get worse until you start taking care of your body. I will pray for you to get help and get well.  (+ info)

is it normal to have a sinus tachycardia?

i am diagnosed with sinus tachycardia and i am really confused about it is it normal.sometimes i have a chest pain and i am always nervous and my heart beat so fast it's just like i'm climbing into a mountain.
The definition of tachycardia varies, but most would take a heart rate of >100 as definitely tachycardic. Sinus rhythm simply means a normal heart rhythm, whereby each atrial contraction is followed by ventricular contraction. Sinus tachycardia is normal rhythm that is tachycardic (ie. a normal rhythm with a fast heart rate).

It is not normal to have tachycardia when one is just sitting down at rest, or sleeping. It is quite normal to have tachycardia when playing sports, running, or doing any strenuous activity. So it depends on the situation - if you are experiencing tachycardia at rest, then more investigation would probably be warranted.  (+ info)

If I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Am I at risk for sudden cardiac arrest?

Just had a friend die randomly in the middle of the night from sudden cardiac death, cardiac arrest. He was healthy.

I'm 19. Male. I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia. I take Metoprolol Succinate ER. Am I at risk for cardiac arrest or just dying unexpectedly in the middle of the night?

*Please don't be a douche bag and try to answer this unless you are some sort of doctor or pharmacist. Ideally, I'd like to have a real cardiologist answer this.
Nope, inappropriate sinus tachycardia does NOT increase the risk of sudden death. Cardiac rhythms that can lead to sudden death include ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Conditions that can lead to sudden cardiac death at your age include prolonged QT, Brugada syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and some congenital heart conditions. Good luck.  (+ info)

I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia I would like to hear from others what symptoms they have.?

I have had this problem for 10 years. I have had ablation surgery and it helped for about 2 1/2 years and then it was back almost as bad as it was to start with. I have to take a lot of heart medicine to keep it under control now which makes my blood pressure to low. Does anyone else have this problem and how do you deal with it. Does stress make it worse for you?
"inappropriate"??? is tachycardia ever appropriate? follow up with your cardiologist.  (+ info)

Is inappropriate sinus tachycardia dangerous?

---

i have had inappropriate sinus tachycardia for 2 years now. i take metroprolol 50mg 2 times a day and verapamil 60mg 2 times a day and i have also had 2 ablations done on me, but my problem keeps coming back. I wear a heart rate watch during the day. My cardiologist always has to adjust dosages or change the heart medicine. At what heart rate should i be concerned with to go to the er?
I don't want to ask you, were you checked for such and such because you were clear about having everything that can cause Tachycardia checked. I hope that you are not drinking too much coffee, tea or alcoholic beverages. You can also take a look at my previous replies to your questions if you have not already done so.

This also can be a condition called postural orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome which is usually associated with chronic fatigue.

Have you had an Echocardiogram? Ever seen a cardiologist for this tachyacrdia? There is an arrythmia called sinus node re-entry Tachycardia that can look exactly like sinus Tachycardia.

There are medications that can slow the heart rate and not affect the blood pressure like Digoxin and amiodarone.

Tachycardia on the long run can cause cardiomyapthy but this is more related to ectopic atrial Tachycardia and ventricular Tachycardia and not sinus Tachycardia.

At this point, if you have not seen a cardiologist specialized in arrhytmias, my advice is to do so and have a specialized study called electrophysiologic study (e. p. s.) to see whether this is truly sinus Tachycardia or if it is another supraventricular Arrhythmia disguising as sinus Tachycardia.

What causes chronic sinus tachycardia?

---

Also experience anxiety and panic attacks. Could I have MVP?
Also have anxiety and panic attacks. Do not have poor diet or sedentary lifestyle.
PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO VK!!! I Have tachycardia and have had to deal with it since 1997, at least that is when it was diagnosed,and it has to do with your sinus node , your hearts electrical system. It is usually treated with beta blockers that have to be taken daily to slow and strengthen the heart. If the problem continues, then there is a procedure called cardiac ablation that will "burn" all of your bad electrical path ways and usually your cured!!  (+ info)
