Question About Medical Services

Hello, I’m a tourist that will be traveling to Zihua in a few days, and I’m wondering if anyone here knows what the hospitals there are like for heart related problems and what emergency services are like. I’ve been to Zihua many times before, but in the last few years I’ve developed a heart condition called Supraventricular tachycardia. It only happens to me once or twice a year, but when it happens I have to go to the hospital and get converted to normal sinus rhythm using something called adenosine. It’s not life threatening, but if it goes on for longer than a couple hours it could cause damage to my heart just from the sheer stress of beating at 200+ BPM. Needless to say, if it happens, I need to be able to get treatment fairly quickly.

Is anyone here familiar with the various hospitals and how well equipped they are to treat such things? From my limited research, it seems the “main” hospital is quite small and doesn’t have a great reputation. The Zihuatanejo Specialty Hospital seems to have a better reputation. Would either of those hospitals be able to treat my condition? Or is there another hospital that can? I just don’t want to have to go to Ixtapa or potentially even farther to receive treatment. Or if I do have to, I’d like to know that’s the case beforehand so I don’t waste any time. Also, are emergency services at all reliable? Or should I just take a cab to where I need to go if this should happen? Any advice would be appreciated.
