The short answer as to whether you will show signs of clearly having a ventricular tachycardia episode is no. The individual symptoms of ventricular tachycardia or VT and sudden cardiac arrest are not specific to that condition. However, suppose you’re experiencing a combination of symptoms such as lightheadedness, unexplained fainting, shortness of breath, palpitations. In that case, you should seek immediate medical attention to check for ventricular tachycardia. Suppose your symptoms include chest pains, difficulty breathing, a rapid pulse rate. In that case, you might be having a potential fatal ventricular tachycardia episode.
