Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Ventricular Tachycardia?
This is an abnormal heart rhythm where the lower heart chambers contract too quickly. As a result, there isn't enough time to fill these chambers with blood before it's pumped out to the body, and the body receives insufficient oxygenated blood. The cause isn't always known - it might be due to heart disease, heart tissue inflammation, or being born with structural heart problems.
Typical Symptoms of Ventricular Tachycardia
- Losing consciousness during a physical activity
- Losing consciousness
- Feel the heart is pounding
- History of heart failure
- History of heart vessel blockage or heart attack
- Chest pain
- Feeling lightheaded before losing consciousness
- Losing consciousness during or after meals
Diagnostic Questions for Ventricular Tachycardia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Did you faint while walking or doing something?
- Have you temporarily lost consciousness?
- Is your heart pounding?
- Have you ever been diagnosed with heart problems?
- Have you ever had angina or a heart attack?
Treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia
Sustained ventricular tachycardia is a potentially dangerous condition that needs treatment. This could involve medications to help the heart maintain a normal rhythm, a procedure to destroy the cells causing the ventricular tachycardia, an implanted device to monitor and correct abnormal rhythms, or, in some cases, surgery.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
