Mini maze proceedure.
Hi everyone Not posted for a while, was hopeful that the last ablation in late April was going to be successful but no the dreaded beast has won again, even through 200 mg of
Amiodarone
a day. The palpitations are back.

Where to now!
He didn’t agree with the use of Flecinide, but suggested I reduce the
Amiodarone
to 50mgs per day. The thing that really irks me is that if it was just SVT than an ablation might work as I wanted to get off
Amiodarone
now I have no other option but to keep on taking
Amiodarone
.

Don't ignore the side effects of drugs
The pneumonia triggered AF and the hospital put me on an
amiodarone
IV that was subsequently shown to compromise my liver function. So don't ignore that list of side effects as they may be masking something else. Meanwhile, back to the drawing board for the AF drugs.

I put this as a post by mistake, I just want to know from someone with permanent AF if it is normal to be out of breath...
I had a successful cardioversion last June and was kept on
Amiodarone
, Bisoporole, Losartan & Warfarin I was unable to see the Cardiologist at the 2 month follow-up & was kept on
Amiodarone
& Bisoporole (2.5mg) by his colleague & told to make an appointment in 6 months time after having the 24 hour

Back in AF after almost a year following a cardioversion and taking Amiodarone.
The cardiologist has told me to stop taking
Amiodarone
which was causing a few problems, and up the dose of Bisoporole and keep my hb at around 70. I am now taking 5 mg Bisoporole (before the cardioversion I was on 10).

Another DC Cardioversion
Was put on IV
Amiodarone
which did nothing,& so had emergency DCCV Fri pm in the cath lab. Reverted to NSR with a lovely heart rate of 65 bpm with one zap - took 7 mins. Absolutely nothing to worry about if anyone is concerned about having a cardioversion.

Increased heart rate 3 months after ablation
My follow-up appointment with my EP is not until July and I am still on all the same drugs (warfarin, bisoprolol and
amiodarone
) as I was before the ablation. My experience seems to be the opposite from what everyone else reports following an ablation! Thanks!

Amiodarone. I stopped taking Amiodarone after 2 months approximately, because of breathless, bad eye problems, chest pains, numb feet etc
Trouble is not sure the side effects I feel still could be to do maybe... with Warfarin 3mg Bisoporol 5mg or Omeprazole 20g twice a day.......been off
Amiodarone
for 44days and feel no better and been on the Bisoporol 5mg for 44days so what does anyone think.

Amiodarone
I went to see my ep on Monday and he prescribed these tablets and told me he is giving me 12 mth to lose a lot of weight so I can have ablation, but as
amiodarone
affects thyroid I wondered if any one has any experience of it interfering with weight loss, any help would be welcome. Thank you

AV Node ablation, I've read that much I am lost on the benefit
About a couple of weeks later it had spread to both lungs and eventually it was diagnosed as
amiodarone
lung toxicity. Since I came off the
amiodarone
, the AF came back, my pacemaker gives the exact time and number of occurrences and for the last year I have been permanent AF.

How to cope with depression due to awaiting FOURTH ablation?
I was rushed to A&E with SVT and fast AF last week, and am now on
amiodarone
. I feel like death and can't do anything right. How do I cope?

I have recently been prescribed Amiodarone 600 mg for a week, 400mg for another week then 200mg daily by my cardiologist.
He explained about the side effects, thyroid, liver & lungs which he passed of saying but those things can be addressed if they happen. Now i read about other side effects & dont like the sound of this drug, just how safe is it...think id rather have pulpitations than other problems.
