Increased Resting Heart Rate

Hi All - I came off Amiodarone in early December (as it was causing problems with my eyes) and had an ablation in early July - so this is really the first time I have been off the drug since the ablation (other than a couple of weeks straight afterwards before being put back on it).

Since coming off the drug my resting heart rate is around 140bpm and then when I am moving around it comes down to between 60 - 70 bpm. Getting a little breathless again as well now.

Is this a normal reaction to coming off of Amiodarone? Any advice would be appreciated.
