sotalol side effects?

Hello everyone,

I have had long term problems with beta blockers -that I take for my arrhythmia- metoprolol and bisoprolol as well as carvedilol have been problematic- but I have just started on a new one called Sotalol.

I took 40mg of this drug an hour or so before bed, but five hours later was woken by the most horrendous intestinal pain I have ever experienced . It lasted for 5-10 minutes and four hours later I don’t feel recovered even though the pain level has decreased considerably.

Has anyone else had this experience with Sotalol?

Would love to hear your thoughts ,

Thanks

Had pain from the blood thinners tablet in my stomach, was on soltalol which slowed my heart to 38 so had to be taken off it still had the pain so I thought it was the apixaban
