Yes. Also I developed a rhythm imbalance between the upper and lower chambers of my heart. This caused me to need to have a pacemaker inserted in my chest. Not happy at all. If I had the money I would take legal action

Yes, I developed Afib while on Imbruvica for seven months at age 90.

Are you still on imbruvica and do you still have AFIB

[Willardo in reply to thezman360]

No. I stopped taking it as soon as I realized the problem. My cardiologist says I will always have the Afib. It was unfortunate because the Imbruvica had provided very good results for me to the degree I have been of any medication for last six months. However, doctor thinks we will soon have to continue treatment again but undecided yet on what the treatment will be.

Yes I did, was switched to Venclexta. Wound up having an ablation and haven't had afib for 4 months. If no occurrences in two more months I will be taken off several meds.
