Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

When you say svt do you mean Supraventricular Tachycardia? For the benefit of our readers, (SVT) tachycardia is a rapid rhythm of the heart originating in the atria, the upper chambers of the heart. The heart rate during SVT is rapid, typically occurring at rates 120-220 beats per minute.

According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms include:
A fluttering in your chest
Rapid heartbeat (palpitations)
Shortness of breath
Lightheadedness or dizziness
Sweating
A pounding sensation in the neck
Fainting (syncope) or near fainting

While nausea isn't specified, it may be a symptom - people react differently to heart conditions.
Your doctor can help you more.
