To ablate or not!
I was put on
amiodarone
which was reduced to nothing after a couple of months. During November to February I had an episode of AF each month, longest was 10 days, shortest 2 days. During each episode I took
amiodarone
and then stopped when I went back into NSR.

Medications that can affect thyroid function
Those are: lithium,
amiodarone
, fluoride, HRT/estrogen, Proton Pump Inhibitors, Interferon, Accutane, Iodine (excess), Botox. I have previously heard that beta-blockers also disrupt thyroid, but that was not mentioned. https://thyroidpharmacist.com/articles/9-medications-toxic-thyroid/

My husband has heart failure at 49 and was otherwise fit and healthy ! So worried about the future with severe LVSD
Amiodarone
was given which brought down the heart rate however following an echo discovered he had a very enlarged heart and severe LVSD as a consequence . He had an mri last week and his due date for review is the 30th April with his cardiologist. He was told that he has 23% output.

Scaremongering Amiodarone
I wish to object to the constant language being used regarding the use of
Amiodarone
and suggest it is not helpful, especially for those who take it! I hate taķing drugs but i put my trust in the hands of the professionals and so far it's working!

Too late for ablation?
Nowadays
Amiodarone
and Pradaxa. I am 64 and slowly my AF is getting worse. Two remarkable EP have different opinions: one of them understand that it’s too late to proceed with an Ablation due the the years passed since the AF appeared.

Positive thoughts about having an AV node ablation.
My options were to live with it on meds including
Amiodarone
, or have an AV node ablation, which, after a lot of consideration, research and questions I went for. I'd already had a pacemaker put in last year, so the procedure was simple.

Amiodarone & Smelling
Not a pleasant link if true, but this is the 2nd time I've been on IV
Amiodarone
inside 12 months and as well as the increased urination whilst being in fast AF I've also noticed my pee smelling as well as my general body odour increasing (sorry) despite washing and changing clothes.

Dronedarone/Multaq
Previously I’ve taken
Amiodarone
and it has put me back in sinus rhythm. I’m reluctant to take this toxic drug so my EP has prescribed Dronedarone. Also taking bisoprolol 5mg and Rivaroxaban. I feel so tired, nauseous, spaced out.

Thyroid meds causing body itching - help!
Thanks to
amiodarone
, my thyroid is all messed up. They put me on 100 mcg of levothyroxine and after almost two weeks, my entire body is covered with hives and the itching is absolute torture! I'm scratching myself raw! Has anyone else had this response?

Failed Cardioversion -what next?
Suggestion that might be attempted again but only if taking
Amiodarone
which fills me with dread. Has anyone gone on to have second cardioversion which lasted for a few months without use of anti- arrhythmic? If on
Amiodarone
was this only for a short period of time?

Stopping amiodarone, phrenic nerve and cryoablation?
Hi, Id posted a few weeks ago about bad side effects I was having on
amiodarone
and am glad to say my EP stopped it and replaced with sotalol. Really hoping this works as it is my only hope left.

Phimosis
I tool
Amiodarone
for two months and had a severe reaction. Skin and eye problems. Within two months of stopping I had a reaction in skin as my foreskin not only retracted but became a pinhole opening. I have now been referred for a circumcision and at the age of 69.
