Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hello all, My EP increased my dosage of Amiodarone from 200 mg to 400mg on Friday. On Saturday morning after my morning dose, I experienced almost immediate flushing, more irregularity, dizziness, feelings of my heart being (in my throat), etc. Later on, my hands started tingling. I called the Drs service who cut my dosage down to 300 mg. I only took 200 mg both Saturday and Sunday because I was still feeling quite poorly. My blood pressure also started dropping, and it had been stable for a few weeks now. I talked to both of the cardiologists today, and one says it sounds like the Amiodarone. The other (EP) says Amiodarone doesn't work like that, explaining it is in the system for a long time. That's why they hospitalized me when they started it, giving 'loading doses'. I have been very sensitive to all the cardiac meds, so she says I may just be sensitive to it. All I know is I started feeling very bad on Saturday after increasing the dosage. I've now been cut back to my original dosage of 200 mg, which is not controlling what appears to be a lot of PVC's. They are talking about a PVC ablation. Anyone else experienced this? Thanks..
