Is Going On Upside Down Rides Safe While Having SVT?

I am 19 years old. I was diagnosed with S.V.T when i was around 8 years old.
I have not had an episode in many years. I was on beta blocker till around 11/12 years old.
My episodes used to be triggers by bending over/upside down [tying my shoe,pick something up] or too much strain in gym class.
I am going to an amusement park and want to know if i would be ok to go on rides that go upside down. i have been on big fast rides before but never upside down..could going upside down trigger an attack after all these years
