Shortness of breath and chest pains
Last week I was put on
Tikosyn
. I still have SOB and chest pain but no Afib. I wonder if I will ever be normal again. My heart is structurally sound. The EP told me to gradually increase my exercise and I am trying to lose weight. I am not obese and do not have high blood pressure.

Tikosyn/Dofetilide
Just spent 2 1/2 day in hospital to get
Tikosyn
dosage right and get heart back into sinus rhythm. It Worked! I feel great. I using the generic Dofetilide. Much cheaper. I lost 7 1/2 lbs. on the bland meals. I call it "The Hospital Diet". 😊

Propafenone Back!!!
A while back I posted regarding the critical shortages of Propafenone, which then bled over to shortages of Flecainide and
Tikosyn
.......which may continue until February.

Update and Plan
He is recommending to start with Bisoprolol, then Verapamil, then Sotolol or
Tikosyn
. He is leaning towards the Bisoprolol because I am now running tachy much of the time. So I am now alternating between inappropriate sinus tachycardia and SVT/Atrial Bigemjny.

No more propafenone!!!! What???
From what I have read, there is a dangerous shortage of propafenone in the U.S and Canada (at least), and this shortage has spilled over into shortages of flecainide and
tikosyn
! Apparently there is little to none to be had, and this is expected to continue until late February!

Proper Drug for My Wife and Efficacy of an Ablation
She was admitted to the hospital to receive
Tikosyn
. The drug got her out of AFib but caused an unacceptable prolongation of her QT interval and was stopped. She was sent home with a prescription for Amioderone, 200 md/day. She has no ventricular issues and otherwise has a healthy heart.

Go for second ablation or Sotalol?
Now I need to decide between a second ablation or a more serious anti arrhythmia drug,
Tikosyn
or Sotalol with 2 nights hospital monitoring. I would go for the ablation if it was the last one, but it’s not guaranteed.

Lets talk Vagal AFib.
I am on
Tikosyn
which shortens the episodes but I still get them. Recently when I am doing boot camps and my heart rate gets over 130. I pretty much had to find out my triggers and have not had a drop of wine or caffeine since my diagnosis. Eating late at night does it, so light salads for now.

Vagal Afib
My EP put me on
Tikosyn
which seemed to shorten the episodes. I am still in the paroxysmal Afib level. I do not drink alcohol or caffeine. Cut out sugar, eating late and stress. My doctor also told me he is suspecting I might have Sick Sinus Syndrome. Great! What else can be thrown at me.

Tikosyn (Dofetilide)?
Is anyone on this forum using this drug? Yesterday I met with a cardiologist who recommended it. (He was selling ablations, but when I said I thought I'd try medications for a while, this was the one he recommended.) Apparently it is less toxic in the long run than Amiodarone, but it requires three-days

Stay in the hospital for Tikosyn dosage
I am going into the hospital for 3 days to determine the dosage I will take for
Tikosyn
. Can someone share with me what to look forward to. Did you have to have cardioversion during your stay? Is it scarry? Just dreading it not knowing what to expect.

I have been taking Gabapentin for Neuropothy in my feet for 7 years and I also have Afib that I am managing with
Tikosyn
for normal heart rhythym. Recently I have seen posts from people who have heart rhythm issues from taking Gabapentin.

Amiodarone
. 🤬 I’ve been through sotalol,
tikosyn
, and currently dronedarone. Dronedarone has kept the events shorter and slower, but no less frequent. a bit of progress. Now the EP wants to try amiodarone, recognizing that I’m really too young to be on it long term.

Pacemaker Afib
Have had one ablation and currently on
Tikosyn
... so far, so good. But, is a pacemaker an option? If you have a pacemaker can you get off the
Tikosyn
and Diltiazem?

Older female, need thoughts on ablation decision
Oh, and yes I am on beta blocker, major rhythm med (
Tikosyn
) and Eliquis. EP surgeon is highly recommended. He say it’s my call. Cannot guarantee the afib cure but pretty sure about the aflutter and high heart rate. Am concerned about recovering.

Update on Cryoablation 3 weeks ago.
I am not seeing the electrophysiologist until 4/21 and hopefully if no AFIB still I would like to get off
Tikosyn
and the blood thinner asap. I unfortunately have an annoying rash on my back since November and was told by a dermatologist that it is a "drug eruption."

Tikosyn and Eliquis Problems
Is it because of the
tikosyn
and Eliquis combo? Has anyone else had similar issues? I'm at a loss even after extensive research! Any thoughts?
