Ritalin (methylphenidate): Any stimulant prescribed for adhd could cause svt. Also you might have developed it spontaneously, or associated to sleep apnea, anxiety, cardiac congenital disease, CHF or emphysema. After electrocardiological evaluation (ekg, echo, holter, stress test) you may need an interventional cardiologist in consultation. Do not use Ritalin (methylphenidate) and other stimulants (including nicotine).
