Neha Khan, a 42-year-old software project...
Neha Khan, a 42-year-old software project manager and mother of two, has always been the picture of health. Her demanding job and family life leave little time for herself. Over the past three months, she's experienced sudden, brief episodes of a racing heart and lightheadedness, often while sitting at her desk or putting her children to bed. The episodes are unpredictable and vanish before she can truly assess them, leaving her anxious and constantly on edge. Her primary care physician, finding nothing abnormal on a routine ECG, referred her to a cardiologist. The cardiologist, recognizing the transient nature of her symptoms, recommended a 48-hour Holter monitor to catch an episode. Neha found the monitor bulky and the electrodes itchy, and she felt self-conscious at work and at her daughter's school play. The constant reminder made her hyper-aware of her heart, increasing her anxiety. However, the monitor successfully captured several short runs of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). With a clear diagnosis, her cardiologist prescribed a low-dose beta-blocker and reassured her the condition was manageable. The episodes have ceased. Emotionally, Neha moved from a state of fearful uncertainty and feeling like she was 'imagining things' to profound relief and validation. Knowing the cause has allowed her to regain control and peace of mind.
