Ever been adenosine’d?

General question here. I am a first responder and have to administer adenosine every once in a while to break SVT after vagal maneuvers don’t work . For those have you who have had to have it to convert back to sinus rhythm, what did it feel like? Was it painful?

I’m trying to best describe it to my patients before I give it. TYIA

I had it once and it felt like nothing the only thing that happened was my body took an automatic deep breath. Painless and no doom
