Started this medication last week and it really has reduced my arrhythmia, chest pain and breathlessness but it has made me rather vacant, dozy if you will. Has anyone had this symptom and dies it wear off?

Try taking it just before bed. This way you may feel better in the day time. 💤

Funny you say that, took it at 11:00pm and slept like a sedated baby! Just a little nausea this morning but thanks Donkster will stick to night time meds and see how it goes 👍

It really is, it’s why I joined as a newbie to this heart school, it really makes a difference and is a comfort to know your not alone 🙂
