Positive thoughts about having an AV node ablation.
My options were to live with it on meds including
Amiodarone
, or have an AV node ablation, which, after a lot of consideration, research and questions I went for. I'd already had a pacemaker put in last year, so the procedure was simple.

Amiodarone
Hi, Following a nasty six weeks of AF, I had a cardioversion and I've been put on
Amiodarone
. Has anyone got experience of this drug, in particular avoiding sunburn. Thanks

Stopping Amiodarone
I convinced it the
Amiodarone
that's causing my fatigue and breathlessness I also get lightheaded occasional.

Amiodarone & Smelling
Not a pleasant link if true, but this is the 2nd time I've been on IV
Amiodarone
inside 12 months and as well as the increased urination whilst being in fast AF I've also noticed my pee smelling as well as my general body odour increasing (sorry) despite washing and changing clothes.

Dronedarone/Multaq
Previously I’ve taken
Amiodarone
and it has put me back in sinus rhythm. I’m reluctant to take this toxic drug so my EP has prescribed Dronedarone. Also taking bisoprolol 5mg and Rivaroxaban. I feel so tired, nauseous, spaced out.

Thyroid meds causing body itching - help!
Thanks to
amiodarone
, my thyroid is all messed up. They put me on 100 mcg of levothyroxine and after almost two weeks, my entire body is covered with hives and the itching is absolute torture! I'm scratching myself raw! Has anyone else had this response?

Failed Cardioversion -what next?
Suggestion that might be attempted again but only if taking
Amiodarone
which fills me with dread. Has anyone gone on to have second cardioversion which lasted for a few months without use of anti- arrhythmic? If on
Amiodarone
was this only for a short period of time?

Stopping amiodarone, phrenic nerve and cryoablation?
Hi, Id posted a few weeks ago about bad side effects I was having on
amiodarone
and am glad to say my EP stopped it and replaced with sotalol. Really hoping this works as it is my only hope left.

Phimosis
I tool
Amiodarone
for two months and had a severe reaction. Skin and eye problems. Within two months of stopping I had a reaction in skin as my foreskin not only retracted but became a pinhole opening. I have now been referred for a circumcision and at the age of 69.

Update: Breathless after Catheter Ablation..Phrenic Nerve Injury????
His next suggestion was another Cardioversion and back onto
Amiodarone
. The next visit he suggested Mum had Diastolic Dysfunction. The next visit was the arteries/veins are narrowing. Then we went to another EP for a 2nd opinion. Fresh eyes.

Recovering from AV Node Ablation.
I have been told to stop the
Amiodarone
and wean myself off the Bisoprolol and I imediatly decreased it from 7.5mg down to 5mg. Thing is I still feel very breathless and lack of energy. Is this normal? Am I being to impatient? Have I reduced my Bisoprolol by too much?

Flecainide
I now have been given
Amiodarone
to take so hope this will be as effective as Flecainide was. I'm worried though about side affects as had none with Flecainide. Fingers crossed.

Has anybody else who is or was on
Amiodarone
experienced the same? Upside is the family can sell me off for scrap.
