Stadol

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

Advice needed please, diagonised December 2023 with paroxysmal AF by the hospital A&E , given blood thinners and Bisporol but made heart rate to low , so now on sotalol 80mg twice daily, my episodes up to now have been every 7th day going into AF then 48 hours after back in NSR, but now going into AF

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

Hi, I have recently had an upset stomach that caused a bout of diarrhea and nausea just the day before I travelled to Majorca for a week's holiday. Since getting here I have felt better and started to get my appetite back but I have now gone constipated for 3 days! Has anyone ever taken a dose of Senna

Hi, I am 84, live in Australia and haven’t posted before. I have had Paroxysmal AF since beginning of 2019, five to thirteen episodes per year lasting on average 12hours long, and self-converting. Initially I was prescribed Sotalol with Dabigatran as my anticoagulant. Early this year I was taken off

Hi guys Fourth time posting and feeling more confident and more knowleable about my condition. Thank you. After one failed ablation for permanent AF and two failed ablations for Atrial flutter, my cardiologist took me off Flecainide, added Sotalol to my mix and I had a fourth cardioversion on 2 July

Thanks to all of you who replied to my post. You’ve all been very helpful. I have a question to ask. I have to take a dose of Ramipril, if my blood pressure rises to 180 for a day.I don’t have to take it every day, as my blood pressure is usually normal. I have just looked at the NICE drugs reaction

when in Af my heart variability goes up to 145 when sleeping is this bad? I’m on sotalol, rivaxaban

Hello, Does anyone have an observation with amiodoran or sotalol that the heart rate (pulse) is lower?

Has anyone changed their dose instructions ? I was originally prescribed Sotalol 40mg in morning and 40mg in evening. It's making me feel like a tired, worn out old zombie from the land of the living dead, on the other hand BP and HR are brilliant. Am planning to speak to my Surgery Pharmacist about

I just wanted to give you an update on my post of 5th August. I took my blood pressure readings twice a day for a week and recorded them on the chart the GP surgery gave me and today I got a telephone appointment with the GP. My average BP reading for the whole week, was 131/67, which the GP said was

Hello all, Dr. has switched me from Sotalol to Amiodarone 200mg daily. So I was wondering how members here take their Amiodarone. Mornings, midday or evenings? On an empty or full stomach? Together with other meds or no other meds? Thanks!

Over time, my NSR events have lessened and been replaced by SVEs most of the time - so my Kardia tells me. I have felt ok physically with this as when I told my GP, he said it only really mattered if the rate went up considerably, and as it is always below 70, ( usually around low 60s ) he was happy.

Hi I take 160 mg of sotalol twice daily usually 12 hours apart but took wrong tabs at 5 usually take at ten shud it cause a problem
