AF and Heart Parameters
In my older posts I have written about my
Amiodarone
prescription for 4 years. Skin pigmentation and Hypothyroidism were developed then. Still I am taking medicines for thyroid. My question is that can a person has normal heart parameters in spite of irregular rhythym.

Fear of medication vs experimentation
If I’d been told a year ago that I’d soon be taking Apixaban,
amiodarone
and later dioxin I would have been truly horrified! And instead I have been amazed at how my body and mind have managed to adapt, despite a few unwanted side-effects.

Looking for my Miracle
Cardiologist and EP suggested ablation, watchman, every pill and treatment out there but I never felt they were the right thing to do, other than taking many meds, Altace, Toprol XL,
Amiodarone
, etc.

Amiodarone experience of??
My EP Dr Lee at Northern General said if this second CV did not work, then next option would be to put me on
Amiodarone
(replacing Flecainide) and then try a 3rd CV.

Ablation for VT
Amiodarone
has brought the heart rate down when I go into VT but hasn't prevented it happening, but my device then paces me out of it. This was quite debilitating, and happening frequently, so my ablation was brought forward.

ECG Flappy gaps?
NB I was in A&E again late last week over concerns about the
Amiodarone
vs these (increasingly) frequent “break throughs” of AF and all they said was to ride it out till the ablation on the 22nd. Your thoughts would be most welcome.

Amiodarone
After replying to another member about not experiencing side effects on
Amiodarone
, I now have a tingling and pin prick sensation on the back of my hands. Has anybody else experienced this? TIA

Ablation Done
Won't be off the
Amiodarone
for 3 months and, as it lingers around in the body for a further 51 days or thereabouts, I won't know till nearer Christmas whether it's been a success.

Amiodarone + AFIB
Just wondered if anyone had experienced any adverse effects of taking
Amiodarone
? I’ve just completed week 1 of the “loading dose” (200mg x 3 times a day).

Uncertain about Amiodarone and cardioversion
I consulted a private EP and he has prescribed
Amiodarone
followed by cardioversion. Presumably that will lead on to ablation if the exprience of others is anything to go by. My heart is otherwise healthy. I keep putting it off mainly due to the bad side effects of
amiodarone
.

Amiodarone
I had a call from cardiac nurse this afternoon telling me the plan is to put me onto
Amiodarone
and then try another Cardioversion.

Back from EP after Cardioversion Failure
Now EP wants to try another Cardioversion in conjunction with
amiodarone
. I am concerned because I already have neuropathy in feet and fingers and I have read this medicine can worsen that. Anyone with experience with it?

Recent Ablation
I came home with ibuprofen & lansoprazole , told to stop my bisoprolol but to continue to take the
amiodarone
alongside the apixaban for a further 6 weeks. Nothing on my discharge summary did it indicate to continue with the ibuprofen.

Amiodarone
Hi all, I’ve been on
Amiodarone
since February and supposed to only be on it for 3 months due to my age and the side effects. Over the past week, my vision has become extremely blurry when looking at my phone. Just wondered if this was a common side effect experienced on this drug? Thanks, B

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) and Amiodarone
Risk up with
amiodarone
versus flecainide or sotalol among seniors with atrial fibrillation receiving apixaban or rivaroxaban For patients with atrial fibrillation receiving apixaban or rivaroxaban, the risk of bleeding-related hospitalizations is greater during
amiodarone
treatment than flecainide

How long til Amiodarone works?
Wondering what others have experienced with
amiodarone
. How long did it take to start working? My AF started suddenly Feb 6, progressing quickly to daily. Dronaderone didn’t work. 11 days ago after 6th cardioversion, EP put me on
amiodarone
despite concerns for my low HR.
