"I have been diagnosed with SVT for a while now. Last year (May 2023), I had an episode of SVT that lasted around 10 minutes with 250 bpm max. During the episode, I recorded the basic ECG through Apple Watch. After it returned to normal, I went to my cardiologist just to see if anything needs to be done as damage control or prevention. While he was attending to me, the SVT started again. He rushed me to ICU, took ECG, given Valsava, but nothing prevailed. Then they decided to give Adenosine 6mg bolus. This didn't work. They then repeated with 12mg bolus, and it reset the rhythm to 95 bpm thankfully. Initial feeling of Adenosine shot resembles administration of IV Dye that doctors use for kidney imaging. A cold sensation traveling in the arteries. Then suddenly a feeling of everything coming to a stop. The exact feeling when you fall off from a height before you hit the pool water underneath. Very yucky feeling! I hate that sensation. Adenosine has happened twice with me ever since."

"I went into the ER with seratonin syndrome. Sweating, racing pulse, delirious. They rushed me through and got a cardiac doc in, and did full blood work, saline drip, ecg. Then then used adenosine... Said I'd feel weird. First time didn't work, it hurt so much. Second time was soooooo much worse. I blacked out, couldn't breathe, and it felt like my entire body was turning into cement. You can literally feel your blood stop moving. It was traumatizing. Worst experience of my life."

"I guess I'm an outlier, as adenosine (injected) worked immediately on me with no weird side effects. I had a feeling of warmth and then my heartbeat dropped like a stone as I watched the monitor from 173 to 80, and then eventually back to normal in the 60's. I'm 65, so 173 BPM for a few hours with concurrent very low BP was not a pleasant experience. I thought I was a goner for sure."

"Had IV adenosine for SVT unresponsive to usual self care-cold water/valsalva. 3-4 second sensation as if winded. SVT normalised. Minor irritant for successful therapy."

"I’ve had adenosine twice to treat acute SVT and it’s fine. You feel weird for a few seconds but a million times better after when your heart is back to normal speed."

"Felt like it also reset my breathing. About 10 seconds of difficulty breathing followed by an intense warming from heart through carotids to head. Then it was over. It worked!"
