After a recent episode of SVT, my cardiologist prescribed Adenosine 12mg/4ml to be given by IV push. The medication is supposed to quickly stop the rapid heart rhythm, but I'm nervous about the potential side effects. I've read that it can cause flushing and shortness of breath, but what if I experience something more severe? Has anyone here had experience with this medication? What were your experiences like? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated. I just want to be prepared for whatever might happen.

I had been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, and my doctor prescribed Flecainide 50mg tablets. I've been using them for a few months, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the regularity of my heartbeat. However, I've experienced some dizziness and occasional headaches. I've read about the potential side effects, and it's a bit worrying. Has anyone else dealt with these side effects, and what did you do to manage them? I'm also concerned about the rare but severe side effects, like allergic reactions and heart-related risks. Has anyone had any issues like these?
