I was diagnosed with A-Fib after my pacemaker was place in 2005 and was on Atenolol. Then in Feb. 2009 my A-fib was over 30% of the time and doctors changed my medication to Sotalol. My A-Fib was reduced to about15-17% of the time. I do feel better no side effects that I have noticed.

I was diagnosed with paroxymal atrial fibrillation about ten years ago at age 53. My cardiologist placed me on amiordorone after not much success with digoxin and toperol.

I was diagnosed with paroxymal atrial fibrillation about ten years ago at age 53. My cardiologist placed me on amiordorone after not much success with digoxin and toperol. The amiordorone was not an effective treatment--numerous side effects, including vision problems and sun skin problems among others. It was then recommended that catherer ablation be performed...it was 60% successful according to the electrophysiologist but not a cure as I had hoped. At that time in 1998, I was discharged from the hospital and put on Sotalol 120 mgs. twice a day. My situation had improved with the ablation and sotal HCL. I am presently on 80mgs. twice a day which seems to be working but I still at times have an episode where the rhythm is very irregular. It can last for several hours...it feels like the "end is near". After the episode is over, things are great again! Also, at times experience skips or pauses which causes great anxiety. Bottom line is that with the ablation and sotalol hcl, my condition is MUCH better that it was back in 1999! PS..just learned that there might be a new medication for atrial fib. being promoted called MULTAQ made by Sanofi-Aventis. This is the first new drug for atrial fib. in 25 years! Stay well!
