Hi
both medicine effect is different and it can be taken together ,
but for SVT now better medicine available and there are medicine which is to be taken once a day and have effect for 24 hours ,
consult your cardiologist and get advice from him,
if you get more frequent episode of SVT then you can consult electrophysiologist and go for ablation treatment as it has > 95% success rate
take care
