Sotalol side effects

Does anyone here on Sotalol have long term side effects.I have been on 40mg x 3 daily for the last 3 years. I never thought of this before until a friend told me she couldn't tolerate it and was changed to flecainide.

I always loved my sleep but over the last few years I have not felt 'relaxed and tired' at bedtime and often sit up late dreading going to bed. I struggle to have a full night rest and wake periodically with horrible (often disturbing) dreams. I also have some neck and shoulder aches and pains which was evident with increased inflammatory markers. For this I was diagnosed with polymyalgia and put on steroids. I am wondering now if it's the Sotalol as I am off the steroids but still have some joint pain.

I was swapped from flecainide as it caused a pro arrythmia in me and I am waiting for an ablation, scheduled for the 26th of March.

Would love to hear others experience.

Thank you

Karen
