Minimally invasive Surgical Ablation carried out in UK, preparing for surgery
I started the dreaded
Amiodarone
3 weeks ago and will continue to take this for a couple of months post procedure to help NSR hold. The success rate at 12 months is 85%, occasionally a touch up cryoablation is required and sometimes a cardioversion. So countdown begins…..

Amiodarone after ablation
A second episode began a week later and they told me to start 200 mg of
amiodarone
, which has big side effects on many and takes six months to clear once it’s stopped. My second episode converted after two doses of
amiodarone
.

Amiodarone for AFib
Amiodarone
will be better choice when your other medicines not effective. In my case it works well in control AFib. Just monitor its side effect.

Very positive meeting with Rhythmologist
Because of my thyroid issues he said I can't take the most effective drug for Afib
Amiodarone
( well you know which one I mean 🤣,) There was no pressure at all and he felt I would have a 90% chance of it working as it is really paroxysmal and for now I self convert -obviously Afib will come back eventually

Amiodarone side effects
Awaiting Cardiac MRI result and been put on
Amiodarone
. Petrified of the fact it’s a last resort med & side effects listed are scary including, if I go in the sun my skin could turn blue/grey ( saw photos online) so very stressed right now.

Shall I go for an ablation?
However, the af returned in November and I was then put onto a two month course of
Amiodarone
in preparation for a second cv. I had this last week. I had to have two shocks this time but I’m back in NSR again.

Amiodarone as pill in pocket
However, about once a month my heartbeat becomes irregular and is often over 100, at these times my BP plummets My Cardiologist says when this happens I should replace the Flecainide and Bisoprolol with
Amiodarone
I just wondered if anyone else has tried this and did it work, or should I just sit out

Seems to be going well at last !
Now off the variety of bisoprolol, sotalol and
amiodarone
that they tried me on over the 4 years. I got a 'Kardia' 'single lead' monitor back in 2019........it's been very useful and saved many trips to hospital for ecg monitoring.

Almost a year of NSR
(My second cardioversion was due to having
amiodarone
for several weeks) I t brought me back to NSR but I think that drug is awful, it did work for a year though. They won’t use it on me again because of the side effects… I had to come off it, but it worked! Thank you everyone.

Fourth time a char?
It lasted 4 years but with Afib episodes sporadically [despite beta blocker, dronedarone,
Amiodarone
(not all at the same time!)]. Two more rf ablations, three more cardioversions. No longer in Afib but in atrial flutter.

Taking Amiodarone
In meantime Ive been prescribed
Amiodarone
. I also take Warfarin ! I'm concerned about the
Amiodarone
side effects such as loss of sight and blistering and peeling skin in 1:10 people. Have you taken it? Was it worth the risks? Any support or genuine advice will be valued.........Thanks.
