Post ablation worries
I was given
amiodarone
bisoprolol and rivaroxaban in December after a week of constant afib. I cardioverted but decided to have ablation asap so I could hopefully come off meds. I felt really well before the procedure but have been in af and tachycardic ever since.

Surgical ablation
My EP recently told me that my only option left, other than trying
amiodarone
again which I don't want to do, is to have a surgical ablation. I've had 2 ablations previously, but not the surgical one.

Driving whilst taking Amiodarone
Can anyone tell me if I am allowed to drive if I'm prescribed
amiodarone
? I'm waiting to find out if if I have WPW Syndrome which is a particular type of AF. I see that they may prescribe it while waiting for ablation treatment.

fast heart beat with over active thyroid
Had Ablation a month ago think its worked apart from a few eptopic beats, been on
Amiodarone
for over a year and since Ablation heart beat resting rate is around 100, and got over active thyroid, so seen a speciialist and done some blood tests, he said if your thyroid is over active it can cause fast

Enlarged atrium and AF
I am 4 weeks into
Amiodarone
with no nasty effects yet, but no benefits either, also Bisoprolol 10mg daily as well as warfarin. I am very down as I feel as if there is nowhere to go as have been told that cardioversion/ablation is unlikely to work because of the enlarged heart.

Hybrid Ablation
I am very pleased with this, except for the requirement to be on
amiodarone
for the three months between the procedures.

AF after ablation
I converted and the
amiodarone
was reduced to one daily. I stayed in nsr and felt great. I decided to go for ablation privately as didn't want to stay on drugs. Had this done one week ago and went straight back into afib. Still the same a week later. Is this normal?

Currently on
amiodarone
and my kidney GF rate is dropping every week. My GP is taking great care of me but is starting to get concerned about the rate drop. Many thanks 🙏

Cryoablation
I take rivaroxiban,
amiodarone
and bisoprolol I was in nsr and pulse was 50 - 60 bpm I felt really well before the op but now my pulse is fast and irregular. How long before things calm down? Also I have had bad diarrhoea for 12 hours. Could this be related?

New here !!
I suffer from AF and had been taking
Amiodarone
which can affect your thyroid. I have just had a blood test with a T4 of 32.8 and a TSH of <0.02 , my arrhythmia nurse has referred me to thyroid specialist. How bad is this ? Thank you .

Interesting read - what are the thoughts?
In other words, iodine fulfillment therapy is done in place of
Amiodarone
, not together with it.
Amiodarone
and iodine at the same time can be dangerous.

Feeling startled?
She is currently on Coumadin, Diltiazem, and
Amiodarone
. She was diagnosed with Afib when she got the pacemaker implanted. This past week she went to the hospital due to her afib and in the end the doctor performed a cardioversion which got things back to normal.

Cardioversion update and possibly the way forward
After the disappointment following my cardioversion that lasted just 11hrs I have spoken to the doctors arrhythmia team and there is a suggestion that another cardioversion will be offered and the drug
Amiodarone
will be used to help prevent slipping back in AF.

Had my first Cardioversion on Friday but it failed so I have been prescribed
amiodarone
hydrochloride to add to my daily cocktail. Has anyone else has experience of this drug as I am struggling big time with side effects?

Cardio version anyone?
Went to Hull A&E yesterday they gave me 300ml iv
Amiodarone
and my hr went to 90... Still in AF but they let me go. I'm back in Bradford now and my Hr is back to 135 AF. Do you think the time is to go to A&e and have the cardio version if offered...

Amiodarone
The agency makes it quite clear that
amiodarone
side effects are very serious so the drug should only be prescribed when other treatments have failed.
