Sorry, those are questions you may want to ask your son's physician. There are different degree of "thachycardia episodes" Sometimes they are very light and short , but others have longer ones that needs ER visits. His physician should know what to expect from his patient. There are optional treatments with hight success rate. Many people with WPW syndrome don't have symptoms or episodes of tachycardia.
