Is going on upside down rides safe while having SVT?
Patient: I am 19 years old. I was diagnosed with S.V.T when i was around 8 years old. I have not had an episode in many years. I was on beta blocker till around 11/12 years old. My episodes used to be triggers by bending over/upside down [tying my shoe,pick something up] or too much strain in gym class. I am going to an amusement park and want to know if i would be ok to go on rides that go upside down. i have been on big fast rides before but never upside down..could going upside down trigger an attack after all these years Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
