Update following catheter ablation.
Well, those 6 weeks (on Tuesday) have flown and the heart continues to behave 🤞😊Still getting a feeling of trapped wind when I swallow especially when I lie down at night. My GP thinks this may be the esomoprazole as it's notorious for causing gas. I also have a bit of a sore tongue of all things,

Experience with Disopyramid please.
My AF has returned at about 3 bouts a month. My EP has suggested a change from Sotalol to Disopyramid. Any experience or comments about Disopyramid would be helpful.

Sotalol causing Insomnia
I am taking 80 mg of Sotalol twice daily since 2022, and I have been experiencing insomnia. Typically, I would wake up after 2 or 3 hours of sleep, and not able fall asleep. Of late, I have not been able to fall asleep at all. Have any of you had a similar experience?

Dronedarone - thoughts ?
I wondered if anyone could share their experience with dronedarone please ? I'm 4 years into my AF journey and as well as 2 unsuccessful ablations I've tried all of the first line AAD's including sotalol, propafenone and flecainide. Unfortunately the beast just won't go away and the burden is getting

fear and loathing afib
so glad to have found this forum. I have had persistent afib for at least 10 years which has contributed to a couple of strokes, a multitude of TIA’s, heart attacks and an anxiety disorder which destroyed my mental health. In the last year I have had a pace maker installed. To treat my afib I had

low heart rates
Good morning all My cardiologist changed my medication last week as still having regular high heart rate. He’s put me on 40mg Sotalol twice a day and going to be doubling it next week. My problem is I’ve been having a low heart rate of 41/43 every night on and off during the night and I’m exhausted

Exercise Motivation
Hi, I have been free of AF for the last 3 years after my second ablation and during that time I was able to exercise and felt energised and motivated. I lost weight, was going to the gym 3-4 times per week score and felt well. I still took Apixaban during this time. However my persistent AF returned

Here we go, pre op assessment concerns
Hi all, you may have guessed by now that I suffer from health anxiety, hardly surprising with what's going on in my family and my forthcoming ablation next Tuesday.Attended pre op assessment at Glenfield hospital, staff were very considerate and efficient. I was given a package of 'stuff' to wash in,

Sotalol side effects
Does anyone here on Sotalol have long term side effects.I have been on 40mg x 3 daily for the last 3 years. I never thought of this before until a friend told me she couldn't tolerate it and was changed to flecainide. I always loved my sleep but over the last few years I have not felt 'relaxed and tired

AF versus SVT
On my first incident of very high pulse rate 8 years ago I was diagnosed with AF and perscribed Metaprolol. One year later I had another episode of high pulse rate and was diagnosed with SVT and perscribed Sotalol. No major episodes since then. Can anyone explain the difference between AF and SVT?

Different treatments
Hi I have been in Afib twice before over a ten year Span one of these occasions was also viral I think. Last February 2023 I woke up with a bad virus which I had all week and stupidly worked through. We also have a lot of family stress to deal with, feeling my heart was out of rhythm again this being

coming off sotalol
I had my ablation in September. Just had my follow-up appointment this afternoon and the Doctor, who did my ablation, said it went well, my ECG was ok and he said I should come off the Sotalol tablets. I have been on these for a lot of years, so am a bit worried about stopping them. I had to stop them
