Is this a sign meds are starting not to work? - 4 years ago
I had ablation July 2020, after 90 days of trying different meds and nothing hold me in nsr for more than 10 days. In Sept 2020 tried coming off meds and went into a-fib within a week. Went back on Sotalol 160mg Twice daily, except for 2-5 minute episodes have been good since September. This morning woke up in a-fib and lasted 9hrs, I have always self converted.

Carey - Appreciate the input, wasn’t sure about going to another EP as I did feel comfortable with everything until the blood thinner.

I was started on Sotalol 80mg 2x daily, only was in nsr for about 10 days. Increased to 120mg, only lasted 5 days. Went to 160mg 2x daily 2wks before my ablation on Jul 27, 2020. Was in NSR until 9/17 when EP had me stop to see if ablation would allow me to stop taking. Episode lasted about 30hrs, went to ER after 20hrs and they started cardizem drip. Converted about 6hrs later and went backby kathygetz - AFIBBERS FORUM
