Also, to help the tachycardia episdoes , since she is young the valsava maneuver might be a little difficult, I prefer coughing anyway, works better for me. Splash cold water on her face too.
Outside of these you need to find if certain foods are triggers for her and remove them from her diet. Avoid sugars (processed foods, sweets, etc.) and anything with caffeine, especially chocoloate.
I am on top of my SVT (which I've had since birth) by switching to a strict whole foods diet high in organic veggies, exercising a lot, abstaining from coffee & alcohol, and avoiding high stress work. Because of this approach I am off the meds and delaying (and hoping never) surgery.
Can't stress enough to try the whole foods diet approach, which is high in organic veggies. There's lots of success stories out there.
