treatable condition: A symptom is what you feel (like the strangling feeling or lightheadedness or chest pain). SVT has many causes, including thyroid disease and heart problems. Your physician can examine you and run tests to clarify the cause and prescribe medication to control or stop the SVT

Condition: Unpredictable course. Comes and resolves spontaneously in many. If you are getting SVT frequently I recommend Ablation and it permanently cures it.
