Experiences with

Stadol

I have stoped my Amlodipine, because of side effects, however, the withdrawal side effects have been bad for a few days. I have been a bit lightheaded and have had shaking legs and a faster than normal heart rate, so I wanted to ask the GP if these were normal, when you came off Amlodipine and how long

Hello all I've been pricribed trulicity to help with weight loss but have read it can interact with sotalol and also affect abortion of tablets and mess with electrics and speed up heart is there anyone else that has any experience on both drugs thanks

This is one for PMRpro as I think you’ve suffered as well. I had my third and final infusion for osteoporosis this morning. I have just gone into an episode of Afib. It’s all been relatively calm this last couple of months since my ablation in September. I’ve been off Sotalol since 6 weeks after the

I talked to the GP today, as regards my medication. I have been told to stop the Amlodipine. It was making me feel awfully lightheaded, which didn’t improve till after lunch, so I am relieved I now won’t have to take it and I have to stay on 40mg of Sotalol. I would have liked to have come off Sotalol

I know I’ve put about it on here before, but I have been worrying about coming off 40mg Sotalol and taking a higher dose of Amlodipine to compensate for it. Now I’ve started to get panic attacks just thinking about it. I stopped Sotalol before and it put my blood pressure very high and they put me on

Happy New Year to my AF community. It has been a while since I last posted anything on this forum. I just would like you to know that I have been well generally although i have had other health issues besides AF since I did my cryoablation in 2020. I had since got my gallbladder removed, diagnosis

I have had my last follow up appointment with the EP who did my ablation and he said for me to try and come off Sotalol again. I had tried to do this a while ago and had got down to 20mgs, when my BP soared to very high levels of 185/96 and I rang 111 and was told to go to A&E and I was put back on

After months of waiting, I began 2025 with an electrical cardioversion. It was a fast, painless procedure conducted by a team who exuded competence, goodwill and humour. We had quite a lengthy discussion of how many times they would try if sinus rhythm wasn't achieved on the first attempt. (they said

Hi …. I was at the gym using a new treadmill. The thing flew me off the back and l ended up injuring my hip. This happened a few months ago. What can we do for hip, lower back pain? I am on blood thinners and prefer something semi-natural. I am also taking sotalol for afib.

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced increased bowel frequency - 3 to 5 times a day, but not diarrhoea - as a possible side-effect of long-term Apixoban use. I have AF, and my cardio specialist says it has been reported to him occasionally, mainly by women. (I'm a 77-year old male.

I have just been diagnosed with AF which I think was triggered by a recent bout of covid. I've been told I'll be starting beta blockers - was going to be Sotalol but they changed their minds and it'll be Bisoprolol. Initially I was pleased when the arrhythmia nurse said I wouldn't need anticoagulants

I've recently been having a bad patch since the middle of August where my PAF has morphed into pretty permanent sinus tachycardia. Sotalol at 320mg daily has put a lid on it 6 days ago so back in NSR thankfully, at a steady 60 BPM - slower than my previous normal of about 73. Would I be right in thinking

Can PAF be activated with rapid weight loss. Due to illness I lost 8 stone in 3 months and developed PAF. I was in the obese range. I was having episodes every couple of weeks . I was put on Sotalol 40 mg x2 a day. I have managed to put 2 stone in weight back on and not had an episode in 18 weeks. Also

I have been having episodes of very high blood pressure. 180 systolic up to 190 . I’ve now been given 5mg of Amlodipine once a day. It is now day 5 and my blood pressure is now fluctuating between a systolic of 111 up to 124, having usually been between 130 and 145 before, apart from the 3 times it

Does anyone have any advice about taking medication when travelling? I take Sotalol and apixaban and I am aware that apixaban should be taken twice daily 12 hours apart. The clocks change to one hour back at the end of this month and I am travelling to Cyprus on the 2nd of November and they are 2 hours

Had 2 cardioversions and was put on 80 mg for afib.

I am really struggling with my mental health at the moment. I am having a bad time with trying to look after my 96 year old mum who has become aggressive towards me and an only brother who has had a stroke and got Parkinson's (they live together). Mum is in hospital at the moment and this has tipped

I purchased a Wellue 24-hour AI monitor a few months ago - mainly to catch my conversion pauses on ECG as I wanted to know how long they were. Have had PAF since January 2019, and conversion pauses at least from 2021. From October last year I have had 8 AF episodes when I have been shaking as I converted
