Hello,
Pregnancy may predispose to and exacerbate symptoms of paroxysmal SVT and anti arrthythmic drugs are often used in pregnancy.However, due to the theoretical or known adverse effects of antiarrhythmic drugs on the fetus, antiarrhythmic drugs are often reserved for the treatment of arrhythmias associated with clinically significant symptoms or hemodynamic compromise.
There is minimal information on morbidity associated with SVT in pregnancy but pregnancy with SVT often results in Csection.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
