Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Was loaded with Sotatlol at 80 mg bid in April. Since then steadily gotten more freq. AFIB. Saw an EP the other day and he wants me to go back in for 3 days for a higher dosage loading. So far Sot. has had no side effects, but hate to spend another 3 boring days in hospital. This Dr Nassir in Houston thingks that should be the course of action. Anyone ever been to him or anysuggestions would be helpful. In afib now about every other day anywhere from 3-15 hrs. Luckily my heart rate is controlled and barely gets above 90 during attacks, but leaves me feeling winded and tired, as well as psychologically damaged. Any input would be appreciated.
