hi, so permanent solution for this problem is electrophysiological studies and ablation which will cure your svt with 90% probability and need for any drugs further.
You already being on metoprolol and get acrocyanosis I would advise to Star tab diltiazem, it will take care of both svt and acrocyanosis. so I would advise to disciss this with your physician.
