A member asked:

Is it a bad idea to take cayeene pepper with svt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Richard Leaderman answered

Specializes in Periodontics

No: Supraventricular tachycardia (svt) is any rapid heart rhythm originating above the ventricular tissue. Most svt is unpleasant rather than life threatening. But, i would use the cayeene pepper in moderation on your food.
