Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / April 2005SOTALOL - ORAL
I have an arrhythmia in 1996 I was admitted to U of M hospital with A Fibrillation, I was told that it may never happen again and was discharged without any medication. I was told the arrhythmia I had was not life threatening. I just had episode on april 9, 2005, I was taken by EMS to the hospital. My heart was in A Fibrillation, It was brought back into normal rhythm. I am diabetic and have asthma and about a 130 pounds over weight. I was placed on 1/2 of a 80mg SOTALOL - ORAL every 12 hours. and Lisinopril 5mg once a day. I was told not to use my advair disk anymore nor albuterol inhaler only to use flovent. The Sotalol made me feel horible mentally and I felt like I could not breathe I tried to call the Dr who perscribed the Medicine and he wouldn't contact me. I told his nurse I was stopping the Sotalol. I got upset about this Dr not returning my call so I went to another cardiology Dr. who gave me Rythmol SR 225 mg to take every 12 hours. I am afraid to take it because I had such a bad time with the Sotalol. My question is how are these Medicines different and can the Rythmol give me the same effects? feeling horible mentally and I felt like I could not breathe. Please, help me. as I am so fearful of taking these Heart Medicines.

It is not by itself life threatening when you are adequately anticoagulated on warfarin. > I just had episode on april 9, 2005, I was taken by EMS to the hospital. > > My heart was in A Fibrillation, It was brought back into normal rhythm. > > I am diabetic and have asthma and about a 130 pounds over weight. You are at higher risk for stroke from the atrial fibrillation and should be anticoagulated on warfarin. > I was placed on 1/2 of a 80mg SOTALOL - ORAL every 12 hours. and Lisinopril > 5mg once a day.

In truth, as long as you are adequately anticoagulated on warfarin, there is no need to fear. > God bless You will be in my prayers, dear neighbor whom I love, in Lord Jesus' most holy and precious name.
