Had a pace make fitted July. I didn't know it at the time but my battery was dead. Not been well since. In and out of hospital. I paid to see a cardiologist who put me on Amiodarone and I felt anxious since being on it. Anyone felt the same. cardiologist said it was stress. I did nearly die.

Hello

Amioderine works very well. But this is a short term med. It can cause serious health risks Thyroid disease Lung issues and blue green skin. I've Ivtaken this medication for Three Year's year and and was just taken off of it because I have developed thyroid problems and lung problems I'm i currently having nuclear testing done for both. Take my advice get an ablation... Don't take this medicine long term.. Good luck. JC
