I know that this has been discussed here in the past but thought I would start a new discussion about people?s experiences on different drugs for A-fib. I recently saw the electophysiologist and depending on a forthcoming TEE, I will either have a Maze added onto an AVR or will start drug therapy for the intermittent A-fib I have been experiencing. The two medications he is thinking about using are Sotalol and Tikosyn. He mentioned a third but did not want to use this because of side effects. I am pretty sure this was Amiodarone, but can?t remember for sure. I know people here suggest using Sotalol instead of Amiodarone, but how does it stack up against Tikosyn in people?s experience.
This is due to A-fib, which developed during treatment for endocarditis. Started out happening about once a week but now seems to go in and out about every half hour. My pulse before this was usually 55, now it is normally 75, but got up about 105 this past weekend. I realize this is still a lot slower than some people experience but it is still not fun.
