Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. You can take a calcium channel blocker to terminate SVT if no medical help is available. However after each episode you have to go to the doctor to get yourself checked up. Consult your doctor for a prescription and discuss with him alternatives available.

I also advise you to consult a cardiologist as you are having recurrent SVTs. There are treatment options available like an EP study followed by RF ablation which works as a permanent cure is some types of SVTs. Do discuss that option with your cardiologist.
