Heart Rate
To get myself out I double my dosage of
Amiodarone
for a couple of days and I have found getting on a stationary bike and really going for it flips me back into NSR.

Is there a definition of valvular AF?
I'm also on Levothyroxine and Bisoprolol 10mg but
Amiodarone
and diuretics have been discontinued. I would like to discuss alternatives with my cardiologist and understand that some of these are not suitable for people with valvular AF.

ablation or no ablation, that is the question
I am on sotolol, Digoxin and Riveroxaban after bad experiences with flecainide and
amiodarone
, Have just had a bad couple of weeks with last weekend in hospital under observation after ectopic beats which I had not had before and which were very scary.

AF / DC Cardioversion
23 March I was admitted with AF of 146 / 90 which steadied to 97 to 57 BPM on an IV with 200mg
amiodarone
. I continued the 200mg
amiodarone
medication orally for 6 weeks. The week before my Cardioversion pre-assessment whilst sleeping, I was woken by my left arm suddenly being air borne.

What if my partner does not have the ablation and does nothing
We have explored the other drugs but he was on
amiodarone
for too long and the other options don't suit him. I don't want to influence him or put any pressure on him but I want him to make the best decision for his future.

I am on Amiodarone (150mg) having had Atrial Fibrillation after heart bypass surgery a year ago and wondering if it is affecting my thyroid.
I am having sleep problems - wakening with a strong trembling sensation - and often have to visit the bathroom frequently (diuresis). I frequently have palpations - especially in the evenings - and these can be accompanied by shakiness. This is really getting me down! I have had blood tests about six

Ablation or Medication
I'm currently under a Consultant Cardiologist who when I had my initial appointment placed me on
Amiodarone
. My medication has been reduced and other than the odd slip back into AF I appear to be responding to it well.

Amiodarone & catheter ablation
Can anyone tell me whether they had to stop taking
Amiodarone

New-onset atrial fibrillation is a predictor of subsequent hyperthyroidism
Risk of hyperthyroidism was analysed by Poisson regression models adjusted for important confounders such as
amiodarone
treatment. Non-AF individuals from the general population served as reference.

How long have you been out of AF?
I'm aware that
Amiodarone
stays in your system for quite a while, so I guess it will still be contributing to controlling my heart rate. I've pretty much gone back to leading my life as I did prior to finding out I had AF.

On Dabigatran now awaiting a minor operation.
Whilst taking Dabigatran and on the waiting list for a minor facial op (benign skin cancer) - could this be a problem with
Amiodarone
( must not be in the sun for too long - can affect the skin)? So how long should I be off Dabigatran prior to this proceedure?

Getting blood test results.
Of course the answer was no so I didn't bother pursuing it and have been successfully self treating since but hubby has
Amiodarone
induced hypothyroidism and a mechanical heart valve so I don't want to be responsible for killing him off myself but will let our GPs do it for me.

My AF Journey so far.......
I called the Doc’s who suggested I increase my
Amiodarone
to 400MG for three days, then back to 200MG until I saw him a week later. Approx 6 days later I was back out of AF and have been now for the past 3 weeks.
