No, it is not
Paroxysmal tachycardia gives you the ability to watch the ``coming and going`` of tachycardia.
Unsustained tachycardia has little to no change in rhythm rate.

An episode that begins and ends abruptly during which there is a very rapid and regular heartbeat that originate in the atrium?
Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia (PAT)
What is a Supraventricular event?
A supraventricular tachycardia is tachycardia (heart rate > 100) that originates above the AV node, in the atria. There are several different forms of supraventricular tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, multifocal atrial tachycardia, and a nebulous condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Many people also consider junctional tachycardia a supraventricular tachycardia.
What is paroxysmal hemicrania?
Paroxysmal hemicrania (PH) is a rare form of headache. Paroxysmal hemicrania usually begins in adulthood, and affected persons experience severe throbbing, claw-like, or boring pain .
What is tachycardia and cardiomegaly?
Cardiomegaly is the abnormal enlargement of the heart that is frequently associated with heart failure when the heart enlarges in an effort to compensate for the loss of its pumping ability (cardio means heart, and -mealy means abnormal enlargement). Tachycardia is an abnormally rapid resting heart rate (tachy- means rapid, card means heart, and -ia means abnormal condition). This term is usually applied to rates greater than 100 beats per minute. Tachycardia is the opposite of bradycardia. Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, also known as PAT, is an episode that begins and ends abruptly during which there are very rapid and regular heartbeats that originate in the atrium. PAT is caused by an abnormality in the body's electrical system. Paroxysmal means pertaining to sudden occurrence. Ventricular tachycardia, also known as V tach, a very rapid heart beat that begins within the ventricles. This condition is potentially fatal because the heart is beating so rapidly that is is unable to adequately pump blood through the body. For some patients, this conditon can be controlled with an implantable cardioverter defibrillater.

What is the difference between supra ventricular tachycardia and paroxysmal supra ventricular tachycardia?
PSVT are those SVTs which are sudden, abrupt, almost immediate and unexpected onset and are more regular as well... PSVT is just the type of SVT..
Can breathing treat paroxysmal atrial tachycardia?
Briefly hold the nose and mouth closed and breathe out, or by bearing down, as though straining at a bowel movement
