Anjali Reddy, a 42-year-old software project...
Anjali Reddy, a 42-year-old software project manager and mother of two, had always been active. Over the past year, she began experiencing sudden, terrifying episodes where her heart would race uncontrollably, making her dizzy and short of breath. The episodes, lasting 10-20 minutes, often struck during stressful work deadlines or while helping her kids with homework. After wearing a Holter monitor that captured an episode, her cardiologist diagnosed Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT). He explained that an extra electrical pathway in her heart was causing the short circuits and recommended a catheter ablation, a procedure to carefully scar that pathway and stop the arrhythmia. Anjali was terrified of heart surgery but desperate for relief. The ablation itself was done under sedation; she felt only mild pressure. Waking up, the constant anxiety of the next episode was gone. After a week of taking it easy, she returned to her busy life. Emotionally, she transformed from living in fear of her own heartbeat to feeling liberated and in control, finally able to be fully present for her family and career without the shadow of PSVT.
