A member asked:

Can supra ventricular taccycardia cause weight loss?

Dr. Bahman Omrani answered

Specializes in Pain Management

No : But both the weight loss and svt can be explained by the same medical condition as in hyperthyroidism (excess thyroid hormone). Certain classes of prescription and illicit drugs can also "speed" up the heart and cause weight loss.
