Brain Fog
Do Beta Blockers have side effect of brain fog? I have been taking Sotalol and I seriously feel like I have dementia. I am 48 and have been forgetting bizarre things and it is kind of a big deal because I am a nurse in an ER!!! Is that a side effect? Eek!! I just seriously suddenly cannot remember

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

With aggravated osteoporosis my partner has been offered the choice of monthly doses of Bonviva or a six monthly injection. Which would be most effective to mitigate the osteoporosis while remaining compatible with an AF/pacemaker regime that includes Amias, Sotalol, Furosemide, and Apixaban?.
