Bit late to the conversation, but as someone who has been in and out of hospital trying to diagnose the cause of my SVT (it runs in my family) then if you're worried, go to the docs. They can usually tell from a quick ECG if you have anything potentially fatal.
My experiences are that mine gets set off by sudden increases in intensity, or if I'm tired, but I'm fine if I gradually let my heartrate increase. No biggie, and as they couldn't pinpoint what was causing mine, we opted for no ablation, no drug management, just "deal with it"
When mine used to go out of rhythm badly, my HRM and ECG readings would look like an ink-covered spider having a fit on the printouts. One paramedic said he'd never seen anything like it, thought the printer was broken!
