I have had three ablations one cardioversion and have been permanent a flutter. Also enlarged heart and thick wall. My heart races to 160 on top out of sync with bottom after minimal exercise.
No more ablations.Dr wants to put me on Tikyson 3 days in hospital then cardiovert me. If doesn’t work do pacemaker and av node..
Any thoughts?
Sorry jsanta but I don't think Tikosyn is used this side of the pond. Hopefully some of your fellow countrymen will be able to help. There are a few members who are familiar with pacemakers so hopefully they will help too......
Thank you brotha!!!
I have been on Tikosyn for a year. Iconverted from AFib ti NSR while getting the loading dose during the mandatory 3 days in the hospital being monitored. I have had no perceivable side eff acts and no relapses.
It cardioverted me on the first pill, then the next pill caused a cardiac arrest. They resusitated me and I ended up in emergency surgery for a pacemaker. I already had a really slow heart rate and I look back and think that was the problem, my rate was 33 in NSR after it cardioverted me. My normal had been around 48. I was told by the cleveland clinic when the first dose converted me, it was a indication to reduce the dose. None the less I was really excited that it converted me, I always require DC cardioversion, I have had 14 in 4 years. I personally know several people that does quite well on it. I am no longer a candidate.
Oh boy hope you are ok! I am going in on Monday..Petrified of side effects but I can’t continue to walk 50 yards and be out of breath. I’ll keep you posted what happens. God bless I hope you’re doing better
Coming off dofetilide (Tikosyn)
Felcainide vs. Tikosyn
Anyone have to give up Tikosyn?
Is it safe to stop anti coag. 
Afib now permanent so would it be safe to stop taking Tambocor (Flecainide)
