CT Angiography

I had to have my heart rate slowed down with medication, administered by a Cardiologist. After the test, my chest felt funny but wasn’t sure why until I checked my pulse in the car journey home. I have some knowledge of arrhythmia’s and what I felt were pauses in my heart rate, 2-3 seconds long. It gradually returned to normal a couple of hours after getting home.

Has anyone else experienced this?

No but I'm due to have a ct angiogram in February and since my heart races I expect I'll need the same meds.Hope it doesn't happen to me.
