I have SVT and have had it since I was in the 5th grade so way before I started taking Ocella birth control. I've never heard anything suggesting BC causes SVT, just you're usual blood clots, heart attack, weight gain, etc. My SVT is triggered by a combo of too much caffeine (from anything from coffee, tea, soda, etc) high stress and over worked physically. For example it had happened to me in an airport after having strong coffee and running across the place to get to my terminal worried I would miss my plane. Think back to what was going on when the SVT happened and it might make more sense that it's not BC. There is a procedure for correcting SVT so I would talk to your doctor about it since she is still young.
