Cardioversion with amiodarone or straight to ablation?
Heart function team suggest course of
amiodarone
combined with further CV after a few months of this medication. They have left it with me to consider what I would prefer to do.

Experience of reducing amiodarone dose below 100mg?
Does anyone have experience of reducing their
amiodarone
dose below 100mg per day? Mine was reduced from 200mg to 100mg two years ago because of my heart beating madly when I stood up after sitting down for a bit, or going upstairs.

Are there alternatives to

Amiodarone Report
Amiodarone
has already improved my heart significantly, as a result I am significantly less breathless and have more energy. My advice is to give
Amiodarone
a try.

Do I need an ablation?
Also I’ve only had one episode of AF in the last six months although I was on
amiodarone
and now on dronedarone . I’m having the ablation under general anaesthetic and I’m concerned that both the general anaesthetic and the ablation itself will cause me to feel very unwell afterwards.

2 lead pacemaker to CRT PM
Cardiologist has stated a short term therapy of
amiodarone
may help get me back into normal sinus rhythm but I'm not keen on taking this medication.

weight loss wehovy and AF medication
However, I would have to switch to
Amiodarone
, which I decided against and stuck with Flecainide. Then, I had another cardioversion 12 weeks ago, and unfortunately, I'm now back in full-time atrial fibrillation.

Persistent afib treatment options, can't tolerate Amiodarone - so many questions...
Plan was take
Amiodarone
then cardioversion. My husband can't tolerate
Amiodarone
(tried twice) so we are now a bit stuck and waiting for the hospital to get back to us.

Amiodarone
Fibrosis is untreatable and progresses and leads to death and the irony is I was only told I was put on
amiodarone
after a couple of days of being started on it while in the Hospital for something else. This is one Nasty drug.

cardioversion
I have been offered a second version but only if I take
Amiodarone
6 weeks prior and it will take 2 weeks plus for the consultant to prescribe it. Have others had the same requirement? There’s a 12 month waiting list for ablation at Hammersmith hosp.

Ablation cancelled due to my weight!
He has now prescribed
Amiodarone
(7 days intensive, followed by a lower dose) and a return to the dreaded Bisoprolol (which I had terrible side effects with a couple of years ago, which I posted about on here) albeit at a lower dose.

Has anyone ever been told that ablation will not work for them?
As a consequence of Flecainide disaster was put on
Amiodarone
after being in hospital for four days. Off the
Amiodarone
now because it's messed up my thyroid levels.

Pre afib signs
I don't know whether to go back on regular dose and let
amiodarone
kill me or stay on or even off
amiodarone
and let the anxiety and stress do it. Any input would be very appreciated. Have a Beautiful Day.

Trimix with atrial fibrillation meds
I was discharged with
amiodarone
(Pacerone), apixaban (Eliquis), losartan (Cozaar), and metropol succinate XL (Toprol XL), at least temporarily. I would like to know if anyone has combined these meds with trimix injections.

multaq and increased heart beat
Had my third ablation in October 2023 mostly for atypical flutter,procedure wasn’t long but quite extensive judging from post procedure troponin elevations over 20,000.Placed on Multaq afterwards as I already failed all other meds and didn’t want to take
amiodarone
for fear of side effects.

Has a cardio version caused a different arrhythmia for anybody else?
I spent 4 nights on the ward before being discharged with a loading dose of
amiodarone
, this has now brought my heart rate down to 60 bpm. However I’m not very tolerant of
amiodarone
so not intending taking it for long and I’ve now got an ablation booked for 23rd November.
