Hello,

I would like more info on why I have SVT? I'm 21 years old always been fit, athletic, play multiple sports. It's been recently I had a episode of my heart rate jumping to 124 bpm where I went to a Urgent Doc. I don't smoke, I drink socially ( I have stop though), and I really can't deteremine how this all of a sudden started. I try looking up what causes it, and ever since I had this cold alcoholic drink which I chugged it hurt my chest and adominal area. Ever since then my heart has been wack. I do have history on my mothers side that they have heart defects. I was also wondering is it safe to exercise and do my daily routine of running?

    There aren't always causes, sometimes people are just unlucky! Mine was caused by underlying congenital heart disease but it can also be caused by too much caffeine I've been told
