Does anyone have Tachycardia?

I was just wondering because my brother was diagnosed with it yesterday, and while everything was happening, I thought he was gonna die!!!!
It was sooo scary!!! He couldn’t breath, his chest was caved in, his entire left side was paralyzed and so was his right leg...but he is much better now!

If you have it...can you tell me the cause and what you do to take care of it.

I have googled it...but i would like to know more info from personal experiences (if you have any).

I'm still just extremely worried!

Thanks guys!

Kind of - I have an atrial flutter, made worse by dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. It's not as serious as your brother's condition, though. I'm sorry, that must be as frightening for you as it is for him. Do you know what type of tachycardia he has?

Thank you! and im sure it was too!

I believe they said Supraventricular Tachycardia...i know there are a bunch of different types but i think it was this one (i was told from my family so im not completely positive)!

Thanks so much for replying!!!
