There is actually nothing you can do except to give your mother loving support. The heart problem is something she has to work out with her doctor. Ventricular tachycardia can sometimes be regulated with medication; but some cases may require the implantation of a pacemaker. My case requires both. Your mother's case is different. No two cases are exactly alike. If your mother is to take medication for her heart then it's important that she take it as directed. You cna find out more about ventricular tachycardia by doing a Google search.

No short answer would be accurate without asking you to have your mum seen by a cardiologist. There are many types of VT and some can become ventricular fibrillations.
Please get her to see a cardiologist as soon as you can.........if it not serious or if it can be controlled, they will know what best to do.
If in doubt, get a second opinion.

If she knows of it she must have seen a Dr. so I recommend you ask her what the Dr. has informed her about it .
