PVCs post cardioversion

[Mollykin]

Been in hospital since I left home after a cardioversion that put me in nsr but with multiple PVCs and going in and out of Afib which resulted in me being taken by ambulance with fluid overload on lungs and heart. Still in on a monitor and waiting on next move as don’t feel good like this. On dronederone but it can’t be working well. Anytime experienced this and what was the outcome? Thank you

Poor you. I've managed to find something that explains that what you've had (pulmonary oedema) is an unusual complication of the cardioversion, but one that resolves over about a week. Fingers crossed!

During my first AFib episode I was placed on Multaq ( dronedarone ) with good results initially, however I went home and in a few days went back to Afib. Returned to the hospital to monitor and decide the next steps. The EP cardio added Ranexa ( ranolazine ) to the treatment and I never had another episode. I'm almost afraid to write that...don't want to jinx myself...lol But seriously maybe ask your doctor what there experience has been using both, because it was successful as soon as it was added. Good Luck.
