    YES I WAS BORN WITH IT. I AM 50 NOW WAS MISDIAGNOSED FOR OVER 34 YEARSS UNTIL 2017 AND I HAVE 3 GROWN CHILDREN 24,27, AND 31 THEY ARE ALL FINE. THE DOCTORS WERE SAYING I WAS HAVING PANIC ATTACKS, AND ANXIETY ATTACKS. AND OF COURSE FEELING LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL STEERED ME OFF INTO DEPRESSION BECAUSE I FELT ALONE IN THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ONE UNDERSTOOD. EVEN MY EX HUSBAND TRIED TO USE IT AGAINST ME SAYING I WAS A MENTAL CASE BECAUSE AT TIMES I WOULD FEEL LIKE I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK AND THE DOCTORS MADE IT WORSE MAKING IT SOUND LIKE IT WAS THOSE DISORDERS AND FEEDING ME FULL OF MEDS. IT WASNT TILL AN ELECTRO CARDIOLOGIST SEEN ME AFTER THEY HAD TO STOP MY HEART 2 TIMES THAT THEY FOUND OUT I WAS BORN WITH EXTRA NODES THAT WAS SENDING MY HEART TO OVER 257 BEATS PER MINUTE AND IT WAS GETTING STUCK. I WAS ROBBED OF MOST OF MY LIFE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT NORMAL WAS. THANK GOD YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE AND THEY FOUND IT EARLY

    No actually i even did water aerobics the entire pregnancy and walked 5 miles a day i did it to have a healthier labor. because with my first i had pre-eclampsia, so then i knew to stay off all the salt and bad stuff, the second i had gestational asthma but it went away right after birth, and my 3rd I had given birth 5 weeks early because i had gestational diabetes and he was already 7 lbs 6 oz at 5 weeks early. but through all this my svt was not an issue it was amazing. just take really good care of your self and prepare your body for birth water aerobics did wonders for me.
