Adenosine Experience
Just wanted to share my experience with Adenosine because I was scared shitless about getting it and just had it last night for the first time after trying to break it for 3 hours at ER while 31 weeks pregnant.
I am an anxious person and asked the doctor and nurses like 5000 questions and they were awesome at talking me through it leading up to it. I asked the one nurse who was working with me to use a more firm and calm tone. overly sappy “good job” scare me more.
They pushed it super quick, I didn’t feel anything for like 10-20 seconds and was like slay and then it was like a breath hiccup for a sec went to normal for a second and then I had about 2-5 seconds of more intense breathing trouble with chest tightness. The doctor verbally told me to breathe and someone blew air in my face and then I was able to breathe again. And I had instant relief and kind of a euphoria/adrenaline feeling. I had kicked my feet during the 2-5 seconds of the more intense chest tightness. It was so quick and the relief after was so worth it. I would totally choose that over waiting 3 hours in the future.
I just wanted to share because I came across so many scary stories of it. I wanted to present that sometimes it’s still uncomfy but 100% manageable.
Totally valid too if you’re reading this and did not have the same experience.
