A bad mix?
Dear Afibbers, This is week six of taking
Amiodarone
with Diltiazem and the side effects are gathering in number. The
Amiodarone
is to get me ready for cardioversion number two, but I don’t have a date yet.... Have any of you found this a bad mix?

AFib, exercise and meds
After a decline and short stay in hospital, I was put on bisoprolol and
amiodarone
which has kept me in sinus rhythm for the last year with only a couple of minor AF episodes. My EP has told me to lose weight in order to have an ablation.

Ventricular fibrillation ablation
(The idea is to get me off
amiodarone
and still provide protection from wayward heart rhythms which might put me into VF/ cardiac arrest again). At least it will break the tedium of lockdown, though on reflection an exciting jigsaw puzzle might have sufficed... Cheers

Titrating down from Amiodarone
QOL improved quite dramatically after a few months of taking
Amiodarone
as gradually, and it was a gradual process, NSR became sustained after about 3 months of taking
Amiodarone
at the maximum dose.

Permanent Afib
I was put on
Amiodarone
which I was allergic to so had to stop and cardioverted early December which only lasted two weeks. I’ve just received a letter from my cardiologist out of the blue to say that I must now accept that I will be out of rhythm all of the time.

Ablation time frame - diagnosis to procedure
My husband has AF and been back and forth for nearly 4 years now. 3 cardio versions ,
amiodarone
which has now taken its toll on his thyroid and is undergoing treatment for that. Is there a time frame from diagnosis of AF for an ablation to actually be helpful?

That solar plexus feeling...
Trying (again) to come off
Amiodarone
(in NSR) and have started to get the nasty feeling in my solar plexus that I get when I'm on the edge of going back into AF, plus lots of ectopics. Have talked to my Cardiologist in the past about this and it doesn't seem to be a recognised thing.

Amiodarone Meds after Ablation
After ablation I was put on high dose of
Amiodarone
but it has been decreased to 3 times a week. In the past 15 days my BP has been in 120's/70's which is very good so I haven't taken any BP meds. I hope that the
Amiodarone
will be eliminated as well.

Constipation
However I am on
amiodarone
and other drugs which make me constipated. Does anyone know of a laxative that is compatible with
amiodarone
. Senna and other derivatives are said to be incompatible in the leaflet with
amiodarone

Amiodarone effects
Amiodarone
seems to make a little dizzy. Fatigued. And a slower hr. I’ve only been on it a week. I think it should be changed. Any views?

Amiodarone
Has anyone else on here had bouts of vertigo whilst on
amiodarone
? No other side effects thankfully but the vertigo can be a little unnerving.
