For Supraventricular Tachycardia "I've had SVT since I was 5 years old, but my whole life up until last year the doctors said it was asthma. Than it was migraines. Then last year we caught it I was at soccer training when it happened. My Mum thought I was lying as training just started. I went to a hospital and they took tested me until they realised they couldn't treat it. I was rushed to the hospital and after a while they gave me adenosine. The doctors held my hand as I felt the sudden shock in my chest I felt my eyes widen and chest raise in pain."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "For 6 years I’ve been controlling episodes with maneuvers. A recent episode I couldn’t control and by the time medics arrived, my bpm reached 190. First dose of adenosine didn’t work. A 2nd double dose worked. I felt a sense of doom, sense of burning and numbness in my legs. The feelings lasted less than a minute and heart rate dropped to 103. The mental impact has been rough as I think about the fact that my heart was stopped and restarted. I will be having the catheter abalation procedure done now that I’ve experienced an episode that I could not control."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "Well this all happened yesterday I'm 19 years old and we where doing PT runs in the morning with drill Sargent and I have no prior experience with heart issues anyway as I was running my heart rate felt completely off after so I ignored it for around 90 minutes and just rested for a bit and at chow. Randomly the chest pains just got to unbearable that I had to tell a drill Sargent even though I was ignoring it and I was taken to the ER. Well short sum of the story. My heart rate was 244 at resting and was higher most likely before the calmed me down anyway they tell me I'm about to feel doom or the injection and I was like alright let's do it and so he injected it into my vein felt nothing for 3 seconds and then a pain of my heart popping like a balloon and I went to get up but right after my heart stopped and I dropped and came right back and all I can say it's truly not that bad it sounds bad but yes it hurts but after I felt great I walked back to my barracks changed into uniform for class"

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "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."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "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."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "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."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "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."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "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."

For Radionuclide Myocardial Perfusion Study "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!!"

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "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!"
