| Add Amiodarone review This medication has restored my hear to a strong regular rhythm. However, my doctor has told me I can only take it for a short period of time. He will substitute another medication in a couple of weeks. After taking this medication, for over ten yrs, my A/F is no longer controlled ,so having ablation soon, but the side effects, are really awful, besides the light sensitivity, my Doctor thinks it has damaged my lungs, as I'm having frequent bouts of breath less. without any exertion . I, waiting for lung function tests,. but concerned if this is permanent damage. does anyone have these problems? The side effects have been horrible, I had nerve problems of the eye within days of being on medication. I also had a good portions of all the severe side effects. It regulated my heart, but feel worse from side effects. | Add Rythmol review After being put on Rythmol,cardizem,and Eliquis for symtoms of moderate to severe dizziness,angina,high blood pressure and history of blood clots my dizziness has not only persisted but gotten worse. Palpitations however, have decreased. Curious to know anyone else having problems with the dizzies? I have had many years of in and out of Atrial Fibrillation and many cardio conversion and two ablation. My medicine was changed 3 months ago and have not had any spells even in anxiety situations. I have been on Flecainide for several years but now on Rythmol. Also I was taken of the Beta Blockers and put on Verapamil. This combination has worked well with me. I do have side effects from the Rythmol like blurred vision, water retention, muscle pain and constipation. I guess I have to accept the side effects to have relief from Atrial Fibrillation. Having A-Fib for 14 years and trying all sorts of other remedies and drugs, Rythmol was the only one that corrected my ongoing A-Fib issue. However, you must stay on a steady, timed course with this drug....but like everything else this drug may or may not work for your condition...to each his own | |||
