Summary
They described a period of 'mystery tachycardia' during which a 24-hour holter, chest x-ray, echocardiogram and blood tests all showed a normal heart. Three months later, after cutting down on caffeine and forcing themselves not to think about it, it was only marginally getting better. They said underlying stress—including the physical stress the body has gone through—was a big factor.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
