Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I am new to this group and appreciate reading all input from members - it's been encouraging to know that I'm not alone in my experience with afib. I am 57 years old and was diagnosed with Afib two years ago. After being unsuccessfully treated with various medicines I had an ablation in July 05. For the first 5 months I felt very good but in the last three months the Afib has escalated again. Two weeks ago I was taken off my arrythmia meds (Sotolol - 80mg X 2 daily) and put on a heart monitor so my EP could determine what was really happening. After about a week off the Sotolol I began to feel almost like my old self. I could detect a few fibs here and there but none of the difficult side effects such as dizzyness, weakness, etc. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience. I've long since been wondering if I am over-medicated since I take both Sotolol and Benicar for high blood pressure and have always had difficulty with terrible dizzyness. My BP fluctuates badly and drops quite low. I see my EP in April and will go over all this with him - just interested to hear if anyone has had similar experience. Thanks to all. ann --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
