Having SVT can be frightening and disruptive, but it is not life threatening. I had SVT basically my whole life, and it would rev up in times of stress, dehydration, or prior to my period. During menopause it was awful requiring trips to the ER to convert my rhythm, so my doctor prescribed a beta blocker which helped considerably. Then my husband became terminally ill and after he died my SVT episodes were daily and lasted hours, so I followed my doctor's advice and had an ablation in 2014 which ended the abrupt tachycardia episodes. Since then I have had the odd bump or flutter, but no more SVT. It has been a blessing.
