My little heart job.
Posted , 5 users are following.
Being an ex nurse, I should have spotted this ages ago! Have fast AF for 10 years+ Mostly it never hapens, but when it does, it is an hospital case.
My meds have been changed... Sotalol worked fine for ages. A statin is still on the PX, but asprin has gone.
Amiodarone , last choice, as digoxin et al did not have thwe desired effect.
The boffins are thinking about ablation and a bit of soldering/ welding!

Today my husband was at his cardiologist and he mentioned about me and she said that there are definitely other drugs to help AF. Have you tried them??
I am completely fed up with this now as my quality of life is being affected.

I have been taking Amiorderone fo four months now. After my ablation I immediately went into atrialflutter, lowered my heart rate in hospital with intravenous amioderone and diltiazem. Plus all my ovals. I also tale amlodipine for blood pressure, which I only get with afib, also I take toprol, have for 20 years for Tachycardia, and pvc's. Probably tmi. Sorry. I went home with 400 mg of amio and after 2 weeks my afib stopped. But. Ablation was on mar 29 of this year. A few weeks ago about the same time everyday my face gets really flushed an uncomfortable. The I started having increased bp. And a faster heart rate, which with my meds has been sometimes 48 but mostly in the 50s. Now it goes up as high as 110. Only lasting from a few minutes to 6 hours. Go to bed and wake up all gone. Can that be from Thyroid. My dr checked lungs thyroid and liver when I first started taking it and all was good k. I see him in about a week. But no afib. Thank u for your help. I'm really scared of the side effects. I am 68. I do seem to have blurry vision some time. Plus my eyes burn when my face is hot. Sandy
