"It was certainly a very unpleasant experience. I was at 210 bpm for a few hours before I went to hospital so they gave me a dose of adenosine. It did not work. I think the best way I can describe it is that it felt like all of the blood and life was draining from my body, particularly my head, and everything went kind of black and sparkly, there was really bad muscle ache mixed with pins and needles. Pretty sure I glimpsed hell and would not like to go back. I know it is generally very successful even though it did not succeed at lowering my heart rate personally, but it sure does feel like what I imagine death is, the darkness and gasping for air particularly."

"After 10 hours of my heart racing at 225-235 bpm, a friend said to me, 'Either you go to the hospital or I send an ambulance to your house.' So, away we went. As I was standing in the ER to check in, they put the oximeter on and I was at 240 bpm. They rushed me through and tried all the techniques to convert naturally. Nothing worked. Then they told me they're going to give me medicine and the doctor says, 'Hold my hand. I'll know when it hits you.' The entire room's eyes were on me and I felt it come through. Burning from my arm through to my shoulder and then my chest. And then the loudest silence I have ever experienced. It was just a few seconds of nothing. Absolutely nothing. I was seeing... but nothing was happening. No sound. Just eyes looking and waiting. And then my heart dropped to 115 and all the worried eyes looked relieved. That ONE time was enough for me to find new doctors and get my ablation scheduled."
