very high blood pressure
I have had and AV node ablation and a PVI in an effort to control my AF . I was given sotalol and it seems to agree with me. I am usually sensitive to most drugs. Unfortunately although it is said that it makes the BP plunge the opposite has happened to me. I do take a diuretic - indapamide, but since

Rapid AF
Hi all, I'm new here to this site. I was diagnosed with rapid AF around 3 years ago. I just turned 40 and went into hospital for this. I ended up having a cardioversion, and went on sotalol and eliquis. From then until now I've had 5 cardioversions, 1 ablation which didn't really work cause 3 months

update to my previous posts. Cali
Despite an AV node ablation and A PVI I have gone back into AF.. My EP has said that he will offer me a last procedure in an effort to curb the breathlessness that I get from AF. This breathlessness stops me walking more than 5 metres and if I ignore the breathlessness and get on with my chores in the

AF & Cancer Treatment
Hello all, I'm hoping you can help us? I've received a patient call today from someone who has atrial fibrillation - well controlled with sotalol. Their last episode was in 2016. They've never had a cardioversion or ablation. They also take apixaban - low dose due to low weight. They are due to start

A little more settled
After what seemed an endless stream of problems after the Pace and Ablate a few months ago, I seem to be a little more settled now. I was still getting PVC's even with all the tweaking the tech people did for me, and no-one really seemed to know what, if any, meds I should be taking. So I did a bit

AF, Sotalol & Me
I have constant AF which started after bypass surgery and found out after cardio-version I am allergic to Sotalol. Extremely allergic to Sotalol - Never, ever according to the manufacturer and other medical websites take Sotalol unless under hospital observation. It literally killed me!

Did this trigger the afib?
I had a cold with stuffed nose and overindulged my flonase spray, finishing the spray bottle in 2 days. On the third day i went into afib which converted to normal in a hour. Was it the flonase? Also i take 80mg of sotalol 2x a day. I took my wife’s z-pak meds also. Would this have triggered it?

Sotalol Side effects and the Afib journey
Stopped Sotalol about 10 days ago to go on to Amiodarone. AFter a few days felt I had got my life back - almost no breathlessness and much less lethargy. (I think that was the cessation of Sotalol side effects.) The Amiodarone was not stopping the number of episodes but seemed to be cutting them from

Blood clots in mouth
Hello everyone I have had afib now for 20 months. Take Sotalol 80 mg twice a day and Xarelto (rivaroxaban) anti coagulant. I have had problems with bleeding gums on and off since this treatment and put it down to the anticoagulant. However last night my mouth became suddenly full of blood followed

Discontinued AntiArrythmics due to prolonged QTc
Hi all.. I've been put on various anti arrhythmia drugs..propafenone, flecanide, sotalol. They inadvertently lead to prolonged QT. My ECG today also shows QTc at 545. My cardiologist says it is not safe to continue this class of drugs. He has now put me on bisoprolol 1.25 od. But beta blockers make me

Feeling unwell but no palpitations
No overnight AFIB (has been happening 2-3 times a week) but feel groggy and unwell with the sensation of 'fluttering but heart rate steady but slow. On sotalol. Last afib was late Monday night. Had some day time sleep to recover Tues and an hour Wed but worked normally round that. Any thoughts on why

Visual disturbances at night.
I take Sotalol (for PAF) and Losartan (for blood pressure). Sotalol lists “visual disturbances” as a side effect and Losartan has “sleep disturbance”. I notice that when I go to sleep and my eyes are closed sometimes there is, intermittently (occurring say every 3 minutes or so) a visual disturbance

Almost 3 Months Post Ablation and Getting increased Blood Pressure.
Hi, I wonder if anyone has been in a similar situation. I am just into my 11th week after my ablation and am due to stop the three months course of Flecainide; the first 10 weeks were OK other than a blip in week one, and my blood pressure has been steady at around 120/75 with a HR of 60 ( pre ablation

I have GERD and doc feels food in esophagus is interacting with upper chamber of heart. I am NEW here, anyone relate?? Also drinking cold water or cold shower brings me back to

T3 conversion problem
Please can someone explain the things that can cause conversion problems. Would a deficiency of vitamin D cause a problem with the conversion? My mum has changed the time she takes her thyroxine now to an hour before food and we thought this would have made a difference to her levels. She used to

Pandora's box
Well, the last post I wrote spoke of PVC's I was experiencing. I'm afraid it escalated into one horrific episode one night, when I suddenly went completely dizzy and very nearly lost consciousness. Just managed to hold on until I could get to a phone and call the ambulance. The attack subsided and

Taking a blood pressure tablet as well a beta blocker
Dear friends I am on eliquis and sotalol after being diagnosed in January. Over the past month my blood pressure has increased and so with it my afib episodes. My GP wants me to add a blood pressure tablet to my mix. Does anyone else take a blood pressure tablet together with a beta blocker. This is

"Slave to the rhythm" - again!
I have been in persistent AF since 28th Feb, having had to come off Amiodarone (which worked well at controlling my AF but the side effects of the over active thyroid made me feel really ill). I referred myself back to an EP I had seen once previously as is hopeless trying to see someone on the NHS at
