Hi everyone! I have had tachycardia pretty bad

for years. Wore heart monitor cardiologist said

it was an extra circuit I was born with causing

it and he could fix it. So I decided to get it

fixed. Had it done Tuesday he said I did not

have the extra circuit I had some tissue in my

atria causing the PSVT he said it was unusual.

He said it could be from stress,caffeine, or a

virus wondering if it could be lyme?

Any suggestions?

Not a cardiologist, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Glad they found out what it was, though.

Did he send it for biopsy? That's the only thing I can think of if he saved it. It seems like it should have been biopsied. If so, you should recommend they look for spirochetes/cysts or other microorganisms.

Igenex might test the tissue. I would call them and ask if they will, and if there is anything you need to know to have it sent to them.

Same with a lab called Clongen. They may test tissue too. I would call the lab and ask.

Both of those labs would be out of pocket though, I'd assume, so it's up to you.

I know they are looking but I don't know if they will see anything. A biopsy would tell them if it was active disease or old damage of some type.
