    I'm not sure if it it the same thing, but I suffer with SVT and have done for about 7 years.  I am 51 now so believe it started when I started perimenopuse.  How old are you?  How fast is your hear rate?

      I think it depends on the acid reflux meds.  I doubt it would interfer.  But you should ask the pharmacist.  You can also soak your feet in Epsom salt.  You will absorb magnesium while you soak your feet.

      Magnesium Citrate, between 200 and 400mg daily. Whatever you buy don't get Magnesium Oxide - it doesn't absorb into the body so is pointless!

      If you have tummy issues, consider magnesium oil as an alternative.   It's magnesium in distilled water and sprayed directly on skin.  It absorbs through the body but does not take the route through the stomach.   It's great for achy places as well as a great way to get magnesium.   Here in the USA, you can find magnesium oil spray in health stores.  If you are elsewhere, I'm assuming it would be the same.  It works wonders for me.
