Hi, my daughter has super ventricular Tachycarida. She gets really short of breath when just taking the stairs at school so she used to use an elevator key, but the school took it away. Is there anything that she can do to help her breathing at school and at home?
Hello, Usually supraventricular tachycardia is usually episodic in nature and will not cause persistent shortness of breath.  First thing is that, the type of supraventricular tachycardia should be determined. So get one ECG done and upload it or show it to local doctor. If she is having persistent type of supraventricular tachycardia like atrial fibrillation then only it can cause this type of symptoms. For this rate control Chat Doctor.  Secondly we need to find for another cause, for that she'll need echo, hemoglobin testing.  In general, she should have salt and fluid including water tea milk coffee etc. restriction to minimum. Very good medicine are available so you either upload her reports or visit local doctor. She'll medicine like metoprolol, horsehide etc.
