I am in atrial fibrillation and my heart rate is around 100-120 and the pounding in my chest is non stop. I am hoping the pounding will go away over time but I really want the heart rate to come down. I see my cardiologist on Friday and I was wondering what medications anyone has taken that did a great job of bringing the heart rate down. I am currently taking 120Mg of Diltizem (long acting) twice a day but wonder if there is something else that would be more effective?.
I am still on 400mg per day of Amiodarone and I am hoping that my cardiologist will take me off completely so I can go back to Tikosyn which worked well for 2 years prior to my surgery. I also had the ablation process during surgery so I am hoping I can get off all the stuff some day.
