Due to the inability to exercise 'normally', the patient should adapt their diet accordingly. A lower calorie diet is suggested, with minimal intake of fat and sugar. If the patient is able to exercise, then the diet can be adapted to allow for extra calories that will be burned. However, it is best if the diet of the patient is a balanced and healthy one, ensuring they get the minimum daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.
With regard to food being avoided, there are triggers in some patients. As an example, one patient has an intolerance to spicy food because it triggers episodes of SVT. As with anything, it is suggested the patient keeps clear of any and all triggers of their condition.
