I would like to know more about having a cardioversion that will require being inpatient 2-3 days to start a new medication that help my heart stay in rythym after the cardioversion. I will be changed from meds to keep my heart rate low while in afib to this medication to keep my heart in rythym. Who has had this experience?

I am going to make sure I'm monitored on a regular basis -- and I pray my second ablation works and I won't have to be on it for a long time. Thanks for your concern.

I Simon when I started with af they put me on 2.5mg of bisopradol,nothing else .I'm on many meds including amiodrone apart from not going in full sun.I will take 10 years of what might be as to last year what really did happen.I made the mistake once of reading side effects of one of my meds needless to say don't read anymore.in my view ignorance is bliss

I was on Amioderone for six months by long term I mean years.
But it is a very effective antiarrythmia, just a pity about the very nasty potential side effects.
Cardiologists thought Amioderone was the 'magic bulltthey had been hoping for to fix AF.....until a significant number of patients starated dying from it's side effects!

Knowledge is power. I hate to think where I'd be right now if I had adopted an 'ignorance is bliss' type of approach to my AF?
