Sotalol

I was on sotorol for two days while hospitalized and had to be taken off it because of shortness of breath that required me to go on oxygen. Once off it, I had no problems   Not good for me. 

I think some anti-arrhythmic medications are best trialled in a hospital setting first. Some of the side-effects sound very scary and you need to be supervised in case you have a bad reaction. Even in a hospital setting I would be terrified.

I took Sotolol for about a year with no noticeable side effects. My neighbour has been on it for years with no noticeable side effects.

I am a fifty one year old male, and my neighbor is a sixty one year old male.

Hi,  I can only speak for myself but, I was prescribed Sotalol back in 1998 by the cardiologist.  Initially, I was prescribed Verapamil for the SVT but, reading the bad press coverage of Verapamil that prompted me to change my medication.  I don't take it now but, from 98 to 2011 I found it to be okay with no side effects.  Hope this helps. Good Luck.

I did take Sotalol but any benefit was cancelled out by my bp meds at the time (Ramipril then Candesartan) which were very bad for my paf and I'm now on Bisoprolol..
