I had a colonoscopy in 2003. They used 2.5 mg of inaspine. I understand
this is an anti nausa medicine? About 6 months to a year after this
procedure I developed supra ventricular tachycardia episodes,
especially when laying on my right side. I have had instances of
ventricular tachycardia also.

Could this have caused this? How do I find out? I have been looked at
by a cardiolgist. But this is before I realized i was given inaspine. I
just recently found out when I asked for my medical records because I
am going to a specialist in gastroenterology.

You are referring to Inapsine (droperidol). This drug most likely did not
cause any SVT, especially 6 months after it was given.
