Hi Tony,
I had my first ablation 2 weeks ago. I was out of afib for 4 days and then back into afib. They changed my medication from metropolol to Sotalol first for 120 mg am and pm. I was not put in the hospital, but I had to get an ekg 3days in a row after my first dose.
I took my first dose Wed the 4th at 7:00 am. Still in afib 2 hours later at the ekg. Then 4:30 pm with my Kardia apt I saw that I was back to normal in 50's. I have been in 50's HB ever since. So for me it worked to take me out of afib.
The problem is that it saps my energy. I just want to sleep and haven't taken a walk or even gone outside. Friday the 6th, the nurse lowered by dosage to 60 mg am and pm. (I have a pill cutter.) I m still in normal HB. My heart rate and blood pressure have not changed with the lower dose. But I still feel wiped out.
I am told to stay on lower dose for a month until the heart heals from the ablation and can hopefully stay normal by itself.
In sum sotalol worked to bring back to normal, but creates exhaustion and weakness for me.
As Carey said - Sotalol is the culprit.
I don't know about Flecanide? Does anyone have experience with this drug? is it a beta blocker too?
Many blessings,
Rattana :+)

now I am getting 6L Kardia readings of 40-70 BPM while resting.
Don't know what to make of that?
