Hello.
welcome to Healthcare Magic,
As the boy has underwent ablation procedure, generally the SVT comes to control. so the light headedness now the boy experiencing is not due to SVT. But I suspect it may be due to any arrythmia .
I suggest you to consult your cardiologist again and get done ECG again which clears your doubt. if we are unable to find any problem in EKG , then your doctor will advice you Holter monitoring .
regards,
DR.VENKAT M.D
