Where do I go from here?
Under control with more and more powerful medications until at the age of 51 AF was persistent, used
Amiodarone
for 6 months and the AF was under control, then it stopped working too. Had cryo ablation in 2019 and it failed.

A cautionary tale about Amiodarone
He was asymptotic but immediately medicated with
amiodarone
and Apixiban. Due to the pandemic his scheduled ablation was postponed until earlier this year. Strangely enough his cardiologist kept him on the drug regime, including the
Amiodarone
, after his procedure.

Road to third ablation
Been waiting two months for
amiodarone
to exit system at cardiologists request so I can attend for a third ablation with them being able to see what’s causing the Arrythmia this time. Lots of ectopic today so hopefully nearly out of system and only a matter of time.

Atrial fibrillation treatments
I have had 2 Cardioversions… the second one was successful but only because taking
Amiodarone
which I find quite debilitating.

I had a Cardioversion last November which worked , with the help of Sotalol ,. until a month ago I now find myself back on
Amiodarone
, 800mg for 3 days , now 200 mg for 15 days My question is , can I just let my heart beat in the rhythm it wants to without further interventions or more heavy drugs

Irregular heartrate
I was initially on
Amiodarone
. 3 weeks later I had other bouts of Afib brought on by Pneumonia and Sepsis. Spent a week in my local hospital. 1.25mg of bisoprolol was added and I've been on that ever since. I was eased off
Amiodarone
about 3 months later.

Is Fasting Safe
I am on
Amiodarone
(100mg/day) and Apixaban (5mg twice a day).
Amiodarone
keeps my heart in sinus rhythm for the most of the time. However, I still get Afib, on average once a month - but it lasts for much shorter period - 2 to 6 hours. Once I fasted for about 24 hours. I felt amazing.

Amiodarone and bradycardia anyone?
I’ve been on
amiodarone
for four months now and after the first two weeks of weird feelings it felt like a wonder drug - I had no a fib and hardly any ectopics.

New Arrhythmia while sleeping
Currently on 25 Metoprolol and tapered off
Amiodarone
, but this happened earlier in the week while still taking
Amiodarone
. It feels different than Afib, as I was able to sleep during Afib. Any immediate thoughts on treatment for sleep? Looks like ablation may be in my near future.

Afib/Irregular heart rate.
Was originally on
amiodarone
and since a small dose of bisoprolol. That was April 2019. I've had no issues since. Recently in May had surgery again for a Cranial CSF Leak. More surgery planned for that as it still leaks. In the last 3 weeks I've developed an irregular heart rate.

AFIB and acupuncture
The main finding of this study was that Naiguan acupuncture continued for 0.5 h was as effective as
amiodarone
in reducing duration of symptomatic AF episodes and P-wave dispersion by approximately 50%, without the suppression of heart rates compared with
amiodarone
treatment in conscious rats.

Amiodarone side/after effects.
Was previously on bisoprolol 5mg with no issues was wondering this is side effect of
amiodarone
as otherwise recovering very well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Random sternum chest pain and hoarseness after converting
The cardiologist today is taking me off of
Amiodarone
and Eliquis as I've been in NSR, in case they play a role. If anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate it as well as further testing that may be helpful.
