I wake up (as soon as I open my eyes) feeling like I am having a panic attack with my heart racing and blood pressure sky high. I shake and struggle to breathe. This last until my BP goes down. Anyone else who experience this?

When I took Sotalol it did nothing for me. Have you tried the pill Flecainide? That appears to be the medicine most people on this forum get on well with. I feel you need to report how this drug is making you feel to your GP, or whoever prescribed it. Please don't just carry on feeling the way you are.

Not what you're looking for?
