5 Days Post Ablation and getting an ECG
Are there alternatives to
amiodarone
that are less nasty?

Persistent afib treatment options, can't tolerate Amiodarone - so many questions...
Plan was take
Amiodarone
then cardioversion. My husband can't tolerate
Amiodarone
(tried twice) so we are now a bit stuck and waiting for the hospital to get back to us.

I'm new to this community , but not to Health Unlocked
In 2014 I had pulmonary toxicity (cryptogenic organising pnuemonia) secondary to dronedarone and
amiodarone
. It took three hospital admissions before it was correctly diagnosed. I had read the American medical papers and knew it was not the diagnosed community aquired pnuemonia.

Ablation cancelled due to my weight!
He has now prescribed
Amiodarone
(7 days intensive, followed by a lower dose) and a return to the dreaded Bisoprolol (which I had terrible side effects with a couple of years ago, which I posted about on here) albeit at a lower dose.

what on earth am i supposed to do...cant have anti arrhythmia meds?
I was on
Amiodarone
but i was advised to stop taking it August gone due to side effects.
Amiodarone
has a very long half life (up to six months) so i suspect i have had some protection even though i stopped taking it in August.

amiodarone
I forgot to say the dr also gave me
amiodarone
to take. 1 tablet of 200mg three times a week. One on Mondays then one on Wednesday and one on Friday. I have to carry on like this until they get me an appointment with a rythmologue. He will talk to me about having an ablation or not.

Cardioversion with amiodarone or straight to ablation?
Heart function team suggest course of
amiodarone
combined with further CV after a few months of this medication. They have left it with me to consider what I would prefer to do.

weight loss wehovy and AF medication
However, I would have to switch to
Amiodarone
, which I decided against and stuck with Flecainide. Then, I had another cardioversion 12 weeks ago, and unfortunately, I'm now back in full-time atrial fibrillation.

Experience of reducing amiodarone dose below 100mg?
Does anyone have experience of reducing their
amiodarone
dose below 100mg per day? Mine was reduced from 200mg to 100mg two years ago because of my heart beating madly when I stood up after sitting down for a bit, or going upstairs.

cardioversion
I have been offered a second version but only if I take
Amiodarone
6 weeks prior and it will take 2 weeks plus for the consultant to prescribe it. Have others had the same requirement? There’s a 12 month waiting list for ablation at Hammersmith hosp.

Hi all I'm newbie. Anyone here have lung damage due to Amiodarone treatment?
Side effect of
Amiodarone
causes pulmonary problems that can't be reversed. Can't understand why it comes and goes after goes after about a week. Incidentally, I was on
Amiodarone
for exactly 7 weeks an 3 days. What should I do? Does anyone on this forum have lung problems due
Amiodarone
usage?

Afib Medication
Doctor prescribed
Amiodarone
- bad side effects stopped using Bisoprolol - bad side effects stopped using The doctor said to stop using and if I wanted to go med-free and I have no symptoms go for it. Which I have since. I am on a list for a consultant to assess. Could be a while!

Amiodarone and AF
Been on
amiodarone
and pleased to report not a single flutter since. Had transformed my life. Cardiologist wants to reduce my dose and later change me to another drug. Does anyone have experience of this. I’m nervous about what effect will be as
amiodarone
been working so well.

2 lead pacemaker to CRT PM
Cardiologist has stated a short term therapy of
amiodarone
may help get me back into normal sinus rhythm but I'm not keen on taking this medication.

Mitral Valve Af and fed up
Cardio version worked for 5 days so was put on
Amiodarone
200mg along with the usual others, Apixiban, Nebivolol. The
Amiodarone
messed my thyroid about so was put on a higher dose of Levothyroxine.

Cryo ablation 6 days ago..am I back in AF?
Can I avoid going back on
amiodarone
? It give me real trouble for the year I was on it ( sleep disturbance, skin issues etc.). Is there an alternative that might work on its own or in the lead up to a cardioversion? Or is it early days and I might settle into NSR without any intervention?

Persistant AF and non-connected surgical procedures.
On 28 November last year I had Cryo-ablation and had meds changed from Sotolol (which clearly wasn't working) to
Amiodarone
. unfortunately the ablation does not appear to have been effective as after one week in sinus rhythm I flipped into AF again and that is still the case.

multaq and increased heart beat
Had my third ablation in October 2023 mostly for atypical flutter,procedure wasn’t long but quite extensive judging from post procedure troponin elevations over 20,000.Placed on Multaq afterwards as I already failed all other meds and didn’t want to take
amiodarone
for fear of side effects.

Cardioversion
First on
Amiodarone
which kept me on NSR . As it was too toxic, my cardiologist insisted change on propanolol 2 yrs ago.But AF became permanent . Now my EP insists on cardioversion if not ablation before putting me on flecoidine . Any opinion?
