Have gotten a dose of this before in the ER. Absolutely do not recommend!!

SendMePhotos ,

No? What’s it like?

phoenixz ,

Do I even want to know? Must feel like you’re dying?

cows_are_underrated ,

That’s exactly what’s happening(for a short moment).

copymyjalopy ,

Ive never rexperienced anything like it. It happens extremely fast. Dr injected into the IV and instantaneously every muscle in my body contracted (at least that’s what it felt like), I lost my vision temporarily although my eyes were still open. Similarly I couldn’t hear anything either. I was filled with an extreme feeling of…rushing…adrenaline… Really hard to describe. I felt my heart give one last big THUMP and then stop.

And suddenly, my heart started again. My vision and hearing restored, I was back in the ER surrounded by Dr and nurses and techs. Breathing hard, somewhat confused and experiencing a little twinge in my back from the contractions.

The whole experience took maybe 3-4 seconds. It felt like minutes.

phoenixz ,

That sounds all sorts of awesome and awful at the same time

Now attach three phosphate ions and watch it go brrr.

acockworkorange ,

Right, that’s ATP, right?

lolcatnip ,

If my math is right, yeah.

acockworkorange ,

Cut me some slack, the Krebs cycle was in high school over a quarter of a century ago for me.

Jocker ,

See… I told you… A reboot will fix it

MonkderVierte ,

So this is the formula you use to make the heart stop for a short time. Magic is amazing.

Is this the stuff that causes the “impending doom” sensation? That stuff’s weird.

occhionaut ,

I kinda wanna try it

I’ve had it done couple times to attempt stop tachycardia. My heart used to randomly get stuck in sinus rhythm at 180bpm, which was annoying.

Adenosine blocks electrical signals through the atrio-ventricular (AV) node for a second or two. So you appear to flatline on an ECG. It never worked for me. A Diltiazem injection was what reliably worked to reset my rhythm.

I’ve since had a cardiac ablation to fix my hearts fucked up wiring. A doctor sends a scope into an artery in your leg, travels up to your heart, finds the cells that are causing electrical impulses to loop uncontrollably, then burns them.

It’s about a 45 min procedure door to door, and it’s the equivalent of removing some excess solder from a bad circuit board. So yet another IT department inspired fix.

AstralPath ,

My mom’s about to get this done. How is the recovery? Is there anything I should consider so that I’m useful helo if needed after the procedure?

AlecSadler ,

I was back at work (at a computer) the next day. Recovery was fairly simple. I don’t recall any major meds being needed and I wasn’t in pain.

Pretty unremarkable. You basically can’t lift anything heavy for a few weeks so you don’t break the old artery incision. Your mom will basically need you to be a butler / maid for a few days.

Catheter ablation team unite! 👏

Rise up with sore groins!

kobra ,

Ha, did you see that paramedic social media video too? I just learned about this yesterday from him.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Lol can you link it. Haven’t seen it I am just very big into wikipedia ever since I was put on welbutron

kobra ,

Haha what a coincidence! Here’s the video I saw: www.instagram.com/reel/C-Q0q1JSd0L/?igsh=ZTcwb296…

I thought of the same video when I saw this post haha, that guy’s stuff is gold.

someguy3 ,

Yup saw that a few days ago, YouTube shorts though.

CerineArkweaver ,

This guy is great. I found his YouTube channel earlier in the week via a friend a marathoned all the shorts

FellowEnt ,

I should probably carry this, my heart likes to randomly decide 220bpm is a good idea every now and then.

StupidBrotherInLaw ,

If that’s true, go get checked out. Tachycardia is often easily treated but can be a serious issue if you ignore it.

FellowEnt ,

Yeah I’m lucky I guess that my particular condition is deemed not serious enough to warrant carrying medication. Just gotta live with it, thoroughly unpleasant when it happens though!

AstralPath ,

220bpm? That’s a solid blast beat tempo.

When I run my heart caps out at around 186. I can’t even imagine what 220 feels like.

logos ,

Isn’t that the stuff caffeine blocks that builds up in your brain over the day?

feedum_sneedson ,

Yes adenosine A2 receptor. Actually I just checked and apparently A1 and A2a.
