[QUOTE="briped, post: 1785410, member: 472718"] Well, in Denmark at least the routine treatment after a DVT is 6 months on Xarelto, but I'd had an episode of Supraventricular tachycardia while admitted to hospital, and that should've meant a 'life sentence' on Xarelto, but she took me of it, and that did worry me, with good reason, as it turned out. 6 months later I had another DVT. These attacks of Supraventricular tachycardia would come and go, but they always stopped again. Sometimes within a few minutes, sometimes within an hour, I never knew, so I couldn't really get it seen to or diagnosed. I'd been getting these attacks occasionally for at least 20 years, and didn't know what they were, but I noticed that I kept on living so stopped worrying about it. But at the hospital while admitted for my first DVT I had electrodes plastered all over me, and a screen would tell me how I was doing. Suddenly, while chatting peacefully to my husband on the phone, I had another episode. I barely had the time to mention it to him before 4 nurses were panicking around my bed. I told my husband that I'd better attend to these nurses, because they really did seem very flustered. Very dramatic episode that was. While my heart was beating so hard and fast you could see it just by looking at my chest, I did my best to calm them down, and panick turned into confusion on their part, but after consulting somebody they asked me if I'd mind getting a diagnostic injection of adenosine? It would only stop my heart for a fraction of a second. What! :wideyed: Sort of like ctrl/Alt/delete, only for the heart. Well, ok, I agreed, but they had to inject it into a vein close to my heart, and they had trouble finding somewhere suitable for that, so I lay back and closed my eyes to give them peace and quiet to do their work, while hoping that my dear Michael wouldn't show up and see all these ongoings. He did, of course. I heard his voice going "Are you putting her into a medically induced coma?". That was my cue to open my eyes and soothe him too. Anyway, the adenosine worked like a charm, and my heart was back to normal again. A nurse wiped my clammy brow, and I felt a lot better.:) Anyway, that's why I'm back on Xarelto, and for life this time. [/QUOTE]
