: When you say the ritalin can cause SVT do you mean it can create it or aggravate
the existing condition?  I've had SVT episodes for seven years but only have been taking ritalin
for one year.   Also , what about weight gain, being out of shape.  I find that working out is
very uncomfortable and I avoid it more and more as It's embarrassing to have
heart rate increase and exhaust me so quickly.   If I get in shape and lose weight will it manage the SVT?
