I really appreciate this post. I experience bouts of paroxysmal atrial tachycardia. Trying to stay calm during these episodes is an immense challenge, add to this the frequent dread of not knowing when the tachycardia will occur. I think I will give meditation a try and see if it helps. Many thanks for this practical advice.
In my case IV meds have been able to stabilize me on the 3 occasions I've ended up in ER with atrial tachy. I'm not sure if defibrillation is used for SVTs like atrial tachy.

Thanks, Arlene. Good luck with this. Does paroxysmal tachycardia require defibrillation? If so, my heart goes out to you!
