The following symptoms may be present:
- Sudden onset and sudden offset of rapid palpitations is common
- Dizziness and rarely syncope, especially at the onset of the episode of tachycardia
- Neck "pounding" may occur as a result of the right atrium contracting against a closed atrioventricular valve and Cannon a waves[1][2] and the simultaneous occurrence of the atrial and ventricular contractions.
- Chest pain and angina if the patient has ischemic heart disease
- Dyspnea
- Polyuria can occur after the episode breaks. It has been hypothesized that this is due to the release of atrial natriuretic peptide
