Question about Adenosine? Is the stress test with adenosine a treatment or is it to determine a problem?

I was having irrregular heart beats. ER and conducted Stress test with 4 minute adenosine injection. Like a truck hit me in the chest. Was it to clear up the irregular beat, or was it simply to determine if other problems exist? Wont see my cardiologist for another 3 weeks.

If you were having a fast and irregular heartbeat, over 120/min and it was done in the ER it was probably to convert you to a regular rhythm. There is an adenosine stress test but is not usually done in the ER, but on a scheduled basis for follow-up or for recent chest pains and used for people that are unable to exercise for the regular stress test. In cases of fast heart rhythm (SVT) The adensosine rapidly changes the heart rate from 120-200 beats per minute to 60-100 beats per minute and is not a very pleasant feeling. It is just such a big change that your body takes awhile to adjust to it.
