I am going through a similar worry right now, my heart races out of the blue just like you said it feels like 200 bpm but my heartbeat feels erratic and very irregular and this lasts (thankfully thanks God) about 30 or less seconds. I've suffered from pvcs since 14 yrs old and this feels like many pvcs one after the other and I'm as well worried about vtach cause mine doesn't sound like svt. It stops abruptly but when I get these episodes it would feel like a panick attack cause I suddenly feel cold and out of breath but I'm not sure if it's a consequence of the irregular heartbeat itself.
I'd like to know, how long do these episodes last for you?? And what does your heartbeat feel like when it happens? If it lasts longer than a minute it is very unlikely it is vtach (you wouldn't be here now!) but I'm not a doctor I'm just coming from the things I've read about different types of tachycardia.
I described my doctor about my episodes and had an ecg which came back normal as well and she said if I was having vtach I wouldn't look good but just as you I wasn't having tachycardia during the appointment.
