Hi people I have a question maybe you can give me input on
Off of
amiodarone
for one month and seeing my EP on Monday and we are going to discuss going on a new medication to ward off my AFIB. Really need a medication that won’t cause a number of side effects as my life is just about getting back to normal after three years.

Lab results
I did have a cardiac arrest 2 years ago and have been put on an antiarrythmic called
amiodarone
, which can have negative side effects. There is kidney disease and diabetes in my family history. Grandfatjer, brotjer, aunt, cousin. I put in a call to my Doctor yesterday but didn't hear back.

Ablation & PVCs
After my last hospital visit I started on
amiodarone
200mg and felt fantastic, due to this my ablation was put on hold. For the past few weeks my PVCs have got worse & worse & worse... to the point I spend most of the day in Bigeminy.

Treatment options
He suggested
amiodarone
as a replacement which I don't think is a good option and certainly not as a long term treatment. Echo is normal. I have long term symptoms which include chest/neck/back ache which is sharp if I twist or flex my chest, shortness of breath,ectopics and generally feeling yuck.

Amiodarone
.

Amiodarone and nervous system
Went to my neurologist last week and he tested feet nerves are very damaged had a few falls, he suggested coming off
amiodarone
but by EP fights me about coming off. I don’t want to go back into AFIB after 2 conversions but the horrible effects of this drug have me turning into a recluse.

Meds after ablation
I was on digoxin, eliquis and
amiodarone
for 1 month prior to my ablation. After the procedure I was taken off those 3 and left on metroprolol, is it a common thing to stop meds right after an ablation, I have been in a normal rhythm with a few pvcs/pacs and some palpitations!!

Post ablation afib blues
Now they want to send him home (he went back into afib today after being out of it since Saturday) and have him try something else (like
Amiodarone
but without the iron??). I am starting to worry about all the drugs/ chemicals in his system.

How many medications do you take (heart related only)?
Currently I take Levothyroxine (because
Amiodarone
ruined my thyroid), Bisoprolol, Dogoxin and Rivaroxaban. I have a long list of objections to taking any more medication, starting with the way they have attempted to monitor my BP, through the effects of a diuretic (I already pass water a lot).

Six monthly review - Success(?)
This involved a mini-maze ablation in April 2017, followed by the addition of
Amiodarone
and Lansoprazole to my basket of daily drugs until July 2017 and then a catheter ablation in October 2017. I then came off the Bisoprolol and Rivaroxaban in November 2017.

Use of Amiodarone
I was on the EP list and my Bisoprolol was increased but stayed in AF, had the cardioversion and was advised to start on
Amiodarone
rather than go straight for an ablation.
