A condition that affects the upper chambers of the heart, causing an abnormally fast heartbeat. It can come and go suddenly, lasting from a few minutes to a few days. It happens when there's an issue with the heart's usual signaling system and is typically not life-threatening. However, in rare cases, it can lead to cardiac arrest or loss of consciousness. It can affect anyone. Risk factors include heart or coronary artery defects or disease, emotional or physical stress/fatigue, and existing thyroid problems.

- Feel the heart is pounding
- Feeling breathless
- Irregular heartbeat when exercising
- I experience hot flushes or feelings of overheating
- Sensation of imbalance as if floating when at sea
- Drink alcohol regularly
- Hands and feet are cold
Diagnostic Questions for Supraventricular Tachycardia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

- Do you have hot flushes or feel overheated?
