CRT-D Benefits Realisation
My own suspicion is that most of the benefit will come from being able to come off
Amiodarone
and Bisoprolol and this may take a few months to fully kick in. Ogilvie

Hair loss
After thirty years of paroxysmal af which became persistent 12 months ago when I was prescribed
Amiodarone
and Rivaroxaban I had an ablation in Feb and came off the
amiodarone
until September when the afib returned (my EP thinks it’s just a blip).

Finally a year and half ago I had an episode that I clearly recognized as Afib and went to ER, where I was cardioverted with
Amiodarone

Six months post ablation
But the
amiodarone
worked and after a few weeks I was back in NSR. I had to stay on it for about four months but since stopping the medication my heart has stayed in NSR.

Just out of Interest.
They put me on
amiodarone
which did my thyroid in and so although I have not taken this nasty medicine for over a year I am now permanently on Thyroxine. Eventually on 3rd November 2016 I had a cardio version for my afib. I was fortunate, it work first time and I went back into sinus rhythm.

Amiodarone Bad Dreams
Does anyone else have bad dreams when on
Amiodarone
? I have started having dreams where I will fall off a cliff and wake with a jolt. It doesn't happen every night but when it does it is quite alarming. I have been told this is a side effect of
Amiodarone
.

Thyroid problems
I have been on
Amiodarone
since March following cardioversion. My blood tests have shown up problems with my thyroid kidneys and liver and there is blood in my urine. My appointment with the Cardiologist is scheduled for April 2018 although my GP is going to see if he can get me in sooner.

Amiodarone question
This is for those of you that take
amiodarone
. I'm wondering how long you've been taking it and what dosage? Any major side effects? My doctor wants me to start 100 mg daily. It scares me as I've read so much negative about long term use, but that it does help with rhythm control.

On the list for an ICD
Hi All, I was diagnosed with Heart Disease (Dilated Cardio Myopathy (DCM)) 16 years ago after an episode of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) which was fixed with a chemical conversion (
Amiodarone
) and have been stable until recently. I've been on Beta Blockers and ACE inhibitors to manage the condition.

AF back after ablation
EP put me back on bisoprolol 5mg and is talking about going back on
amiodarone
if it carries on. I feel so upset about this as I find it so hard to function with af even though heart rate has decreased. I feel dizzy and panicky and generally unwell.

Giddiness
I am on 2.5mg bispoprolol and 200mg
amiodarone
daily. Have always taken them in the morning but thought today I'd leave it until this afternoon. Just had a very short walk and had to stop regularly and hold onto the wall because my head was spinning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
