Can 'permanent atrial fibrillation' be a misdiagnosis?
I have had paroxysmal AF since 1995 and taking sotalol (beta blocker) led a fairly normal life until 2020, when I suffered an ischaemic stroke, blamed on AF. Recently both my doctor and my cardiologist have told me I have permanent AF although there are long periods, such as this afternoon, when my

Pill in Pocket Question
Hi everyone- first time poster. I’m a healthy 53 yo Male with a background in competitive cycling. I had my first episode of AF about 2 yrs ago and was cardioverted at the hospital. Since then I have modified numerous aspects of lifestyle as - cut out alcohol and cut way down caffeine, improved sleep

Sotalol &high blood pressure medicine
Is anyone on sotalol and high blood pressure medicine at the same time? My blood pressure is to high then to low, the GP is trying different medicine and dosages to see what works. I know it can take a bit of time to get the right meds to work. Thank you

Sotalol and swollen ankles and feet
Hi all, I was put on sotalol about 2 months ago, I started noticing my feet swelling a little bit about 4 weeks ago, the last week they have swollen up a lot more it’s saying on the medicine notes that swelling is a common side affect. Was just wondering how many others have this side affect. I do have

Breathlessness
I'm four weeks post ablation. Still on sotalol and rivaroxaban but I'm getting breathlessness abs anxiety. Is this normal after an ablation. Will it get better or is something wrong. I'm not due a follow up appointment for another month.

Question about Diltiazem
I take diltiazem 120 once per day and Sotalol 120 twice per day. Anyone out there have any thoughts on the best time of day to take diltiazem (whether I should take the diltiazem in the AM or PM)? I currently take it before bedtime (PM). I have this feeling ( just my intuition) that I should take

Sotalol
My Cardiologist has recommended DC Cardioversion and Sotalol as I’m in Atrial Flutter. I’m already taking Entresto Apixapian & Bisoprol ! Will Sotalol replace any of these or is it an additional tablet?

New on here, G'day.
Hi guys & girls, Healthy 39yr old Aussie male, first round of AF at 29 had an ablation at 33 went well. Am 39 now and it has just came back, cardiologist tells me we are going for round 2. Only difference this time is that the AF came back rapid and the sotalol is putting my blood pressure very low.

Apo-Sotalol
I’ve been on Sotalol for 14 months. I take half a tab two times a day. 40 mg x 2. It worked very well. I didn’t want to be on meds for the rest of my life, so I chose ablation. Just had my ablation this week. I will remain on Sotalol for another two months before stopping.

Seems to be going well at last !
I was just 'looking back'..........4 years since I noticed some paroxymal AF. 3 and a half years since it went persistent constantly (90-130 bpm) and I finally got it diagnosed. 3 years since a failed cardioversion. 2 years since an abandoned sedated PV cryo ablation, as I went into asystole (

1 month out from RF ablation for asymptomatic afib
Hi. I was diagnosed with afib in late 2019 at age 66 and put on an anti-coag and sotalol. I was in and out of afib quite regularly but rarely symptomatic. Three cardioversions failed to restore normal sinus rhythm (NSR) for any real length of time, so ablations were suggested (I live in the US.) Since

AF out of the blue!
Went to bed and was relaxing reading and listening to music when I got a run of about 5 or 6 ectopics in succession. About 5 minutes later, after briefly settling , they resumed, this time tipping over into PAF. This was completely unexpected and is particularly worrying as it's the first episode I've

Changing from Sotalol to Bisoprolol ?
I am taking Sotalol 40mg am and 40mg pm. Because I find the side effects intolerable the Hospital suggested to my doctor "stop Sotalol and change to Bisoprolol 2,5mg. Picked up the new tabs but no instruction on how to change over. How long should I stop the Sotalol before starting the Bisoprolol. No

Exercise versus A Fib
Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone could advise me on exercise as I took myself for a long walk which included up and down steps and quite a steep hill. Felt brilliant afterwards and really pleased with myself so I took myself another walk the following day - not so far but again felt fine.

AF after diarrhoea
I have paroxysmal af and the last 3 episodes have been triggered by diarrhoea. I had to take gastrogaffin as a bowel prep for a CT colonoscopy over the weekend which gave me constant diarrhoea- as expected went into af in the early hours of Monday morning. My EP thinks it may be imbalance of electrolytes

How long to wait
Have had my first bought of AF after initial diagnosis five years ago. Treated with cardio version and then 2 x 80 mg Sotalol and one Xarelto a day since then. Been going on for over 48 hours now. Utterly exhausted and have terrible headache. Blood pressure low. Should I seek medical input or wait
