| Add Multaq review Taking Multaq and Pradaxa also Metoperol 25 mg 2 x a day. Began Multaq in 4/2013 and was effective at first. However, now I usually have some problems with irregular heart beat two to five days a week. Sometimes continues for several hours at a time. Minor shortness of breath and fatigue after climbing one flight of stairs. I am 65 and have had 3 Heart Failures with AF residual. After Open Heart and other "cures", I finally had to discontinue Multaq as no apparent change in my condition and due to the HIGH cost. I have since substituted Amiodarone for great savings. Have been taking 8 months for AF. Have developed severe pain in all joints which Dr. dismisses as being side effect. | 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 | |||
