 Should I be calling an ambulance? Been sitting down for at least 15 mins trying to deep breathe but pulse rate has increased.

 @0177da18 If you don't think it needs an ambulance but would like to double check with someone medical, nurse on call is an option https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/nurse-on-call

 @0177da18 

showed this to the nurse educator in my lounge room who instantly said “probably SVTs - super ventricular tachycardia”

don’t ignore it - call a live human person specialist now

 @0177da18 If it hasn't stopped, yes. Not life threatening, but not sustainable either.
