Another Question please

II posted a few days ago regarding SVT/RF Ablation/Fear and thank you for your response.  You indicated that if my SVT is stable (no chest pain, drop in bp, etc.) that I might want to speak w/my doctor about meds.  I do feel I am pretty stable.  My heart rate so far during these 3 episodes has been 150-170.  I have had no dizzyness, shortness of breath or chest pain.  My only symptoms have been rapid heartbeat and anxiety.  I carry 20 mg. of Inderal with me at all times in case I go into SVT, but I haven't had to use it yet.  Based on my history, is it likely that my SVT symptoms would worsen, or do they usually follow the same pattern?  Does Inderal usually bring one out of an SVT episode?  My fear is that I will be on the freeway or in an airplane and unable to get medical attention.  Thank you again.  DB
