SVT generally begins and ends quickly. Many people experience short periods of SVT and have no symptoms. However, SVT becomes a problem when it occurs frequently or lasts for long periods of time and produces symptoms. Common symptoms associated with SVT include palpitations, light headedness, and chest pain. SVT may also cause confusion or loss of consciousness.

Yes if uncontrolled tachycardia can kill you.
One example is that with the heart beating so quickly, the blood may not empty as much as it should between beats from the hearts chambers. This is called the ejection fraction. When that happens, the blood starts to coagulate or clot. If a part of that clot breaks free, it can stop the heart, or clog somewhere in the circulatory system.

It can over work your heart causing it to stop. See a doctor!!!
