Following an EP study, I was changed from Biosoprolol to Sotalol.
I was sent home from hospital here in the UK that same day with my new packet of Sotalol, untried/untested on me.
Following how ill Biosoprolol had made me feel, I looked up Sotalol and was rather alarmed to find that you guys over the pond get to be monitored in hospital for three days when first taking it whereas over here we just get sent home, with me seemingly rather sensitive to beta-blocker side effects and living alone. So initially, I just didnt take it, until I got a phone call from whoever is monitoring my Reveal Linq to say my heart rhythm resembled a childs scribble and that it would be wise for me to take it.
So I did and now I am up all night as I have developed a really nasty cough.
I read it is a side effect of Sotalol, as I haven't had any human contact for about a month now I am wondering if I have this cough as a side effect, or did a cough germ fly in through my open window one night?
How would I know?
