Well another SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) episode. It started at 1:28pm, I took my medication but that didn’t work.
EMT came with 2 ambulances because they needed a level 2 EMT to give Adenosine because it had been an hour and nothing was taking my heart rate down.
They got IV’s in me and cardio pads on and took me to the next town over. On the way there I got Adenosine and that was awful. I felt my heart stop and restart and I felt this heaviness throughout my whole body. Thankfully my heart rate when from 200bpm down to 120bpm.
At the ER they gave me more metoprolol and it’s staying down but I feel exhausted.
I still have the cardiac pads on my chest that they put on in the Ambulance in case the Adenosine didn’t work and they will keep them on in case I start another episode.
Hopefully this gets me into the cardiologist faster now.
Edit to add that my husband couldn’t be any less supportive and wasn’t helpful at all while we waited for the ambulance. I am so thankful for you all here 🩷.

I just saw this. Im sorry you are going through so much. You are starting to look like my grandma who's hooked to machines. Sending a virtual hug...i really hope you can finally get some peace when it comes to your health
@empanadas it was scary and those are the pads they use to shock your heart and they put them on my in the ambulance in case the Adenosine didn’t get my heart back into normal rhythm.
Thankfully they were not needed and I should hopefully get into the Cardiologist soon.
Thank you, this will get sorted out and fixed, I may need medication or surgery but I will do whatever is needed.
