Does Vitamin B12 Deficiency Cause SVT?

I was recently diagnosed with a b12 deficiency, my heart had been running fast with missed beats. After my fourth b12 injection my heart went into svt, and I was hospitalised. Is this linked to a b12 deficiency? I'm now on beta blockers and waiting to see cardiologist. Thanks

Hello ,Vitamin b12 deficiency or excess will not directly result in ST , so be reassured for the same.
Beta blocker is one of the safest drug to be given for SVT.
There are many different reason of SVT and depending of the subtype , a evaluation and specific treatment should help in prevention of further recurrence.
