1 yr. following my triple heart by-pass I went into afib. 3 months later, I had a successful electo-cardioversion that put me back into normal sinus rhythm. Began taking 80 mg. twice a day with very little or no side effects.

It does stop the episodes, but I have had fatigue and low blood pressure. Dr decided that I am not eating enough salt especially after exercising. Started drinking sports drinks after exercising and that seems to have taken care of it. Caffeine, alcohol, and dehydration can cause my Afib. Since I know what causes it now, hoping to lower my dosage over time.

Placed on Sotalol oral after placement of ICD for Afib. Episodes of Afib more severe though at 8 week intervals I am unable to function normaly for 30-48 hours at a time. 16 months later I am opting for cardio ablation therapy. Want off this medicine to spare liver.

I have been in an out of A-fib for the past ten years. I was recently put on valsartan and 80 mg of sotalol, half in the morning and half at night. My pulse rate is lower has been down to 48 beats a minute. I have a terrible back ache a times and wonder if anyone else experiences severe back aches.
