There are many: potential triggers initiating SVT. Pressure changes in your chest induced by bending, stooping, yawning or holding your breath change the blood return to your heart and thereby its volume. These changes can induce premature beats which trigger your SVT. It sounds like you need evaluation and treatment since you do not appear to be on any and it is causing you concern.
