Is there anyone who doesn't get a night or morning off from the Beast?

Back in hospital, last night had a 2 hrs episode and then all of a sudden after the AF session I became breathless and felt like I was shutting down, then not long after I woke, in ER I went into another attack, 150+ BPM feels like another is on the way tonight, sick of this now, Amioderone isn't working and haven't even felt any benefit since my meds were changed, when will this ever end?

Challenging times to say the least and my wish is for greater periods of heart stability for you.Is there any follow up with any of your heart health professionals regarding upping/ different meds, or possibly cardioversion in short term or perhaps ablation for medium to longer term?

Please find some relief soon....

Perhaps a cardioversion? Your experience is similar to one I had years ago. A cardioversion stopped my a-fib in its tracks at the time.

They said the Amioderone can take around 6 weeks to start doing its Dark Magic, they are also giving me a small amount of sedation especially at night to help me sleep I'm in my 2nd week of Amioderone, starting my 3rd week this coming Wed, they don't want me to give up on Amioderone just yet and we discussed reintroducing Bisoprolol at a low dose but nothing confirmed yet
