Should I have gone to A and E? Festive AF episode!
I have been on sotalol for several years now (I am 47 and had my first episode of PAF in 1997), and my usual "episodes" last for a few seconds only. However, at 1 a.m. on Christmas Eve I started abruptly into an irregular rhythm. I thought I would see how it was in the morning as I didn't want to

Feel O,K but have had several incidents of unusual bleeding - from my ear, nose- I have never had a nose bleed before. Now I have what

Definition of Bradycardia
Happy New Year all. My question is, do I have Bradycardia, my pulse rate is 51 to 54. I take 80mgs of Sotalol twice daily and have been in NSR since August 2013. I feel very fatigued but my GP is quite happy with my pulse rate. I would value your opinions.

Hi, I've had my beta blocker changed today from bisoprolol to sotalol (40mg x2 day). Has anyone else got experience of this beta blocker? Thanks

Dizziness and fatigue.
The last couple of days I have felt really light headed and very very tired, I am in NSR but my BP can be a little low. I have noticed in earlier posts that Sotalol might be the culprit. I will seek advice from my cardiology nurse re: decreasing the dosage (I am on 8omg twice daily) I am just wondering

Clarithromycin
I recently have been given Sotalol ,a beta blocker, to take for a recently diagnosed heart arrythmia. A recent chest infection and G.P gave me clarithromycin. I queried it as label said they do not mix. . She insisted it was fine. Took it but my cardiologist was not pleased. Any body else any experience

Two months after ablation
As most of you aware I had my ablation two months back and I'm lucky since didn't have any flutter till now But I'm having frequent SVT for minutes to one hour 4-7 times a week even I'm using sotalol twice daily My question is there any chance that it may stop without going through another ablation

I discussed with my doctor cryoablation as a second trial to treat SVT
As I understood from him it is not per enact and I should carry out radio frequency ablation as a final treatment He agreed to write for me a report recommending my case for cryoablation which is not available here in my country Appreciate any feedback about it , and which centers may carry out such

Taking meds - purely a reflective piece.
I am one of those who believe that you don't take meds, unless it is life threatening. So my question to myself is at what point does it become life threatening? I take Flecainide as a pill in the pocket to stop an attack, rather than daily to prevent one and up until now that has worked for 5 years
