Does adenosine hurt that bad?
I’ve been curious about other peoples experiences regarding it, when i had my first(and hopefully only) SVT at 16ish, it supposedly started because of medicine reaction since i was already sick and took whatever my mom gave me, which is none of her fault. But basically i woke up in the middle of the night to vomit, i couldnt eat or drink anything or id vomit it right back, my heart was already pounding but i thought it was because of the vomiting.
My parents thought it was better if i went to the hospital, i had this horrible feeling of tiredness where i just wanted to sleep and lie my head down while i waited in line for my turn, makes sense since my heart was going 200+ bpm, i went to get checked a doctor thought it was anxiety induced, but i still wasn’t getting better, i dont recall it much, but somehow i ended up on a separate room, they did some maneuvers to try and get my heart rate down, it didn’t work at all, it was quite chilling to be able to see my bpm on the monitor i genuinely thought this was it, especially after seeing the doctor talk to my mom, i wasnt able to hear anything but she was crying so much, i genuinely thought i was gonna be dead dead.
I waited and waited to be given something, i would have took anything for my heart to stop beating so fast, i dont know how much time passed but it was torture, and finally finally the doctor came back and they administered the adenosine, and god did i feel relief, it felt like my heart stopped for a few seconds some say it feels like getting stomped, like a huge weight is over your chest and i guess it was similar, it was really strange but it wasn’t uncomfortable at all, i felt more at ease than ever, it was almost magical seeing my bpm go down after taking it, really, like a miracle drug, i really respect those who have to go through SVTs regularly cause they are not for the weak, in my situation the adenosine was a life saver and didn’t hurt at all, im forever thankful to the doctor.
All this wasnt done cus i had to be transferred to another hospital idk why, all i know is in the end i had pneumonia pains too, pretty cool combo ig. But regarding the scariest part aka the SVT the treatment was almost instantaneous and painless with adenosine, does the pain vary from case to case? What are yalls experiences with it?
