Amiodarone
Hi there, Was on
amiodarone
for 3 to 4 years, keeps your heart in rhythm, but messed my thyroid up, now on carbimazole for over active thyroid, the only good side is I can eat all day and not put any weight on, So if your on it for a long time keep checking your thyroid. Good luck

What's my best next step?
Then
Amiodarone
200mg a month ago and have gone back into NSR a couple of days ago. Anyone have any thoughts on best next steps? I have a appointment to scope out an ablation but as I feel fine I worry it is not the right decision. Staying long term on
Amiodarone
doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Catheter Ablation in Australia and availability under public or private system only - and out of pocket costs?
I am a fit/active 56 yo male in Canberra Australia with persistent AFIB but succesfully on 200mg
amiodarone
daily that has me in NSR all the time no matter what I do or eat - I have no side effects being on
amiodarone
at all - but this is dangerous medication so long term - the meds are not a solution

Struggling to get diagnosed and told no to being referred to a liver clinic.
Just before that I had had a check up for my diabetes, I talked to the nurse and had her look at my nails, she looked on her computer “no problem and liver is fine” Few years ago I was put on
Amiodarone
(sorry if that’s spelt wrongly) by a cardiologist after an episode, unfortunately I was left on it

Amiodarone ... ahead of potential cardioversion ...
Diagnosed 18 months ago, nearly 57 years old, been suggested by cardiologist to try
amiodarone

How Long Does It Take For ‘Moderately Enlarged Left Atrium’ To Revert Back To Size?
I asked for another echocardiogram in 12 months to see if the enlargement has shrunk - so as to not require the catheter ablation at all and be taken off
amiodarone
. Has anyone else seen a reverse in atrium enlargement? Over what period and was it effective in stopping AF? Thanx in advance.

Amiodarone .... ahead of potential cv (part two)
Thank you so much for the replies regarding this drug they have been so useful and I am very grateful thanks, my next question is anyone aware of an alternative to this drug which may have less serious side effects or is it possible to have a cv without meds other than blood thinners please? Thanks

Faster pulse after ablation
After 3 months, I was advised to discontinue Bisoprolol and
Amiodarone
. Doing so had no effect on pulse rate, which remained high, (but it did not climb any higher).

2 Cardioversions in 2 months AF (Ablation? Amiodarone help?)
They’ve changed my Blood thinner to rivaroxaban saw the heart specialist nurse who wants me to go on
Amiodarone
, they are hesitant in me having ablation because of my age 70 & other serious conditions.

Amiodarone and sports watch hrm, SP02 sensor burns
On
Amiodarone
initial high loading dose and I wear a sports watch that monitors pulse via flashing green lights on the back of the watch. I also use the watch to continously record SP02 blood oxygen levels at night when sleeping - this flashes red light continuosly on the skin.

Experience on taking Amiodarone
Had unsuccessful cardioversion and it is suggested I change blood thinner from Apixaban to
Amiodarone
and try cardioversion again. The side affects concern me and would like to know if anyone can tell me their experience on this blood thinner. I expect to be on it at least 14 months if not longer.

AF and 50% Heart Failure
Been taken off
Amiodarone
as side effects can be bad. But still on Bisoprolol and Degoxin and one other medication to make my heart pump better. I See my consultant at Stoke on 18th of may to see what he suggest to get me off the medication as they all seem to have quite bad side effects.

Update Day 19
Still thought it a bit odd when I'm still on
Amiodarone
. Hopefully, it won't happen too often. It's been nice being able to cook now again too, rather than just reheating stuff out of the freezer.

Amiodarone or pace and ablate?
I am now on
amiodarone
and feeling ok. I was told that pace and ablate was the next and last option if the medication did not work. Apart from some insomnia, the meds are fine. However, I am uncomfortable with taking it for a prolonged period. I have been on it now for 4 months.

Amiodarone and a fib/ ectopics
Has anyone else found that they still get these episodes even on
amiodarone
? If not, I guess I should be contacting the cardiologist.

Cardioversion not available on the NHS?
My cardiologist then stopped the digoxin and put me on
amiodarone
which has made me feel even worse. As I have zero quality of life I asked about going privately for cardioversion and I will be having it in a fortnight's time.

Told to stop Amiodarone immediately.
Today I had a letter from the hospital saying that I should stop taking
Amiodarone
straight away.

Amiodarone and node ablation
The outcome after luckily seeing my cardiologist was that he has out me on
Amiodarone
for the next 2 months while my heart heals. As he could not get all the tachycardia (too near my diaphragm), he says he doesn't advice another ablation. His plan is a node ablation or permanent pacemaker.
