afib and antidepressants
I am thinking of going back on antidepressants. I have had two catheter ablations for afib with my last one being one year ago. I am experiencing ectopics now and may need to go back on Sotalol if I drop back into afib. Is it safe to take antidepressants with Sotalol or other anti-arrhythmics?

paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
I have been diagnosed with AF and slowly getting my head around it all. I’m on blood thinner rivaoban and sotalol and rampril. I’ve just head a letter from cardiologist from our 3 monthly catch-up and noticed on diagnosis he has also put on preserved LV function, any of you lovely people know what that

Cardioversion
Three hours after a cardioversion and all good so far, cross me fingers tightly, keeping me maintained on sotalol for six weeks to hopefully, give it time to remember the rhythm.

Sotalol
My newly found Consultant Cardiologist has prescribed me two new drugs. Sotalol and Flecainide. In respect of the Sotalol he prescribed .... " one tablet twice a day". My tablets are 40mg dose. This replaces Bisoprolol and Nebivolol that I have taken at different times in past years gone by. Anyone

Sotalol side effects
Following my ablation I am rather hoping I can stop taking Sotalol at some point in the near future.I have been thinking (my annual review is coming up and I will be asked various questions about meds etc), does anyone here experience body aches and pains or GI issues when taking sotalol. My body aches

Serious shortage of some medicines.
There is an article in today’s Guardian which refers to a serious shortage of some medicines: “Medicine shortages in England ‘beyond critical’, pharmacists warn.” No heart medications are mentioned in the article, but I wondered if anyone had experienced problems obtaining any of their regular heart

Update following catheter ablation.
Well, those 6 weeks (on Tuesday) have flown and the heart continues to behave 🤞😊Still getting a feeling of trapped wind when I swallow especially when I lie down at night. My GP thinks this may be the esomoprazole as it's notorious for causing gas. I also have a bit of a sore tongue of all things,

Experience with Disopyramid please.
My AF has returned at about 3 bouts a month. My EP has suggested a change from Sotalol to Disopyramid. Any experience or comments about Disopyramid would be helpful.

Sotalol causing Insomnia
I am taking 80 mg of Sotalol twice daily since 2022, and I have been experiencing insomnia. Typically, I would wake up after 2 or 3 hours of sleep, and not able fall asleep. Of late, I have not been able to fall asleep at all. Have any of you had a similar experience?

low heart rates
Good morning all My cardiologist changed my medication last week as still having regular high heart rate. He’s put me on 40mg Sotalol twice a day and going to be doubling it next week. My problem is I’ve been having a low heart rate of 41/43 every night on and off during the night and I’m exhausted
