"I was given adenosine for a non-stress stress test at a cardiac office. Within a minute I was anaphylaxic. Paramedics were called and after some scary minutes I was ok. NEVER AGAIN!!"

"the MRI with the adenosine infusion was 100 times worse than any other procedure I've ever had. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH IN SOME ELECTRIC CHAIR. It lasts around 5 minutes, but feels like an hour, and I have never been so terrified or traumatised. I will always be traumatised by this procedure and I refuse to ever have it again. The doctors didn't tell me how horrible it would be, they just said I'd be fine. But in my gut, I knew it would be horrible, just didn't realise how bad. So, they give you the infusion, and within seconds, you feel as though you are being pulled apart at the heart, your face is on fire, you feel like you are dying, you feel a burning from the top of your chest to the bottom. It is absolute torture. I was so traumatised from the procedure I was unable to get off the table at the end. They had to pull me into a wheelchair, and I couldn't get up for another 2 hours. I felt lightheaded and wobbly for hours after. do not have this drug"
