Does Supraventricular Tachycardia Cause Twitching In The Eyes And Panic Attacks?

Hello, For the past month I ve had a really high heart rate from 140 to 229. They did a 24 hour Holter and it showed SVT and Inappropriate Sinus tachychardia. I was put on propanolol. Today I ve had 3 episodes of tachychardia, I have eye twitching, and getting panic attacks from the fast heart. Does SVT and IST cause all these symptoms? Why is the med not helping? What can be done to stop the tachycardia. I eat healthy: No gluten, no dairy, no caffeine, and no soy.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms that you have, like eye twitching and panic attack are not due to the SVT changes but it seems to be nonspecific mostly related with some functional disorders, even tachycardia seems to be that only. If tachycardia is due to conduction disorders (arrhythmia) then it is a medical emergency and it can be managed only in the cardiac unit and mild condition can be managed with medicine. Medicine for this condition depends upon the EKG changes.

Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
