Any experience of Amiodarone? The potential side effects sound frightening.
I'm now down for a
cardioversion
on Sunday (3 other appts have been cancelled so far) and I'm wondering, if it's not successful, whether amiodarone would be worth asking for. Thanks to anyone with thoughts or experience on this.

Week 9.... doing first parkrun next weekend, heart and head therapy!
Well, after nearly four years of heart trouble, two cardioversions ( heart restarts) 3 ablations ( keyhole surgery) , decided to get some fitness back by c25k .tbh the heart issues got me down a dark road, and running has helped with that. Finished week 9 today. Next weekend local parkrun...bit nervous

Low Heart rate, should I be worried?
I was cardioverted 4 times during op, felt overwhelming relief after op, maybe that was the
cardioversion
, or relief finally knowing what the real issues were. I’m sole carer for my beloved Veteran husband,who is 83, so I often tend to put my stuff to one side .

Feeling good, Why?
I (53 year old, non smoker, over weight) had radio frequency ablation in April 2019, following blanking period and
cardioversion
June 4th 2019, all running well. No episode of Afib, EF 55+, feel good.

Tired of waiting
After failed
cardioversion
I now have to wait 6 months to see EP to arrange ablation which will probably be another long wait to carry out- does this timescale sound the norm to everyone? Any ideas how to speed things up ?many thanks - I live in London/Kent

New to digoxin
Cardioversion
in the new year by the looks of it. Now my question is he insists he was told to start it tomorrow morning one a day. But the pharmacists label says take 2 immediately then one a day. Is this right? Thanks

Back in sinus rhythm but still got AF symptoms
Hi everyone - my first post ... I've had three cardioversions and was doing well until recently when I got palpitations and my legs gave way. The funny thing is that I'm back in sinus rhythm but now feel tired, breathless and on and off light-headed like I was before my cardioversions. I'm on flecanide

First cardio verson
Underwent my first
cardioversion

Cardioversion
They are suggesting I try a
cardioversion
, which I am having next Wednesday. Questions:- What are the chances of this actually working as I am unaware of the Afib - that could have been present before the PE perhaps? If it does work, how long will it last? If it doesn't - what then? "Live" with it?

How often should we get an ECG
Still, my avatar is the same :-) I have had
cardioversion
(18th Sept 19) which has worked, I think, still no follow up appointment and I would have thought I would have one by now? How often would be reasonable for an ECG? Geoff
