Could heartrate of 220 be normal?

I have cardiomyopathy and an internal defibrillator. I was at my nephews birthday party yesterday and was being fairly active playing with the little kids. My defibrillator shocked me 2 times and i passed out. They called 911, and i was taken to the hospital. When they read the info off the AICD, it said my heartrate was between 190-220 for about 7 minutes. They said its hard to tell (only one lead AICD) but it looked like SVT not VT, so it was just high from me being active. I have an appt with my cardiologist for this week, but im wondering...is it possible for it to be normal that my HR would be over 200 just from playing with some toddlers? My hr is usually like 65-70 with the medicine they have me on.

Definately sounds like SVT and not VT. Your heart wouldn't have been in VT for 7 minutes.

No it's not normal for you to go into SVT just by playing with toddlers. Your cardiologist may need to teach you how to do carotid massage or the Valsalva maneuver on yourself if this happens again, and your AICD may need to be investigated. 2 defibrilations in 7 minutes doesn't sound right.

Your cardiologist may suggest a radiofrequency ablation.

i didnt even know the heart could beat that fast..i get panicy when mine goes over 100

If it was VT, see your doc.

Call your Cardiologist and request to be seen ASAP! A persons heart will eventually not be able to keep up with that many beats per minute, and when it will no longer be able to keep up it will stop!

I doubt it was VT, and if you say that your normal HR is between 65-70, then it is a little weird it got to 220 that easily. Good thing you have an appt with your Dr. Good luck!

No, it should never get that high during normal exertion.
This was an arryhthmia and you doctor needs to determine the type in order to know how to treat it. VT is generally more worrisome and the type of thing that defibrillators are implanted for. If this SVT it is very rapid, but potentially more treatable with medication and often less malignant.

That is an absolute NO. Nothing should bring your HR up to 220. Some people while exercising get their heart rate high, like 160, but that is vigorous exercise. But not just playing around a little. Your defibrillator might need to be repaired. Like maybe rewiring ect. Normal is 60 bpm - 100bpm. Anywhere between those rates are normal. I pray you find its something simple, and all is well.
