I have been on Amiadarone and a whole host of other drugs since late February, when I had cardiogenic shock followed by a cardiac arrest.
In the past few weeks I have developed a blocked tear duct with bleeding from it, and a very nasty, lumpy, red and sore-feeling rash on my hands and lower arms which looks very unsightly and is driving me crazy (the rash came up after unexpectedly being caught in the sun). My doctor thinks these are both Amiadarone side effects but has pretty much told me to put up and shut up.
Has anyone else had either of these side effects and if so, what did you do to get rid of them?
What alternatives are there to Amiadarone? I have cardiomyopathy and heart failure so I guess any new drug would also have to also work in terms of these.
