Hi I am 74 years old female. I have had AFib for over 14 years, with little issues. Christmas 2023 I had Covid which left me with Flutter . Last year I had 14 hospital visits, 6 admissions. Have been on Dronedarone , Bisoprolol , Sotalol and now Flecainide with Carvedilol . I had an ablation for flutter

Following surgery last yar I developed atrial fibrillation. I was put on 200mg of Amiodarone and the side effects have been terrible . The worst being unsteadiness on feet cannot go anywhere without feeling that I am going to fall over. My consultant is going to change meds and put me on 40mg of Sotalol

I have been put on Mertaziapine for anxiety. Anyone taken this and can tell me how they got on. I took the first one last night. Felt dizzy on getti ng up and lightheaded and a bit unsteady. Hlong did it take before you felt normal again. I am finding it hard to cope with these anxious feelings all because

In my last post, I described my cardioversion on January 2nd and the immediate relief that it provided. Unfortunately, after one glorious week, I reverted to AFib. For me, this means a deep level of listlessness and fatigue, a constant headache, and very irritating roaring tinnitus. It is like living

I have not been brilliant the last few days. I have been getting very anxious over my high blood pressure problems and it’s making me very light headed and I feel unbalanced. I wish I’d never been asked to stop the Sotalol and this would never have happened. I am back on 60 mg twice a day, but I’ve been

Hi, just a couple of questions....Does anyone on Sotalol get sleep disturbances? Not only do I wake periodically in the night but I never seen tired and struggle to get to sleep, when I do I have awful dreams. I used to be such a good sleeper! Q2 - anyone had any bright red blood from the bottom ( sorry

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
