PACs are to be expected, and your heart rate is perfectly normal.
Multaq is related to amiodarone but that's like saying tigers are related to house cats. Multaq is nothing at all like amiodarone. It's quite safe and has very few side effects. It's the mildest drug with the least amount of side effects you can be offered. I wouldn't hesitate to take it if I were you (I have taken it). When Hans wrote that about amiodarone Multaq didn't even exist and his comments simply don't apply to Multaq at all.

My advice would be relax - you just had a heart bbq and needs some time to settle down. I wouldn't worry about Multaq - Dr N likes it and I took but it didn't work early on - neither did flec until I got an ECV 10 weeks later. I am in NSR at 60 BPM for a week now and just battled through pneumonia and an ER visit to a hospital filled with covid. Just relax and take it easy, mentally, emotionally and physically. Congrats on making it to the other side and sounds like quite well compared to my experience.

I took multaq after both my ablations during the blanking period (healing) . As Carey said, it is safer than the other drugs. You should expect a few runs if ever- maybe not (I didn’t after first but had one short run the second), af during the healing period. It’s all normal. As NLAMA says, you just had your heart bbq. Your heart is healing now.
5-6 weeks after both of my ablations I developed nonstop PVCs. I stopped multaq and started tenormin and they stopped cold turkey. Just a FYI if that happens.

Tenormin ( Atenolol ) has a similar molecular structure to Toprol XL and/or Lopressor (Metoprolol)
