Interview with Dr. Peter Kowey at Boston Atrial Fibrillation Symposium
I have suffered from heart disease since September 2006. I had a defibrillator placed in my chest to prevent rapid heart beats. I was placed on Metoprolol, Lisinopril, Furosemide (water pill) and Aspirin. Everything was going great until February 2010. The first week in February i passed out in th shower safe to say my defibrillator fired. I saw my cardiologist the same week. He prescribed Amiodarone. It has helped with the rapid heart beats but i have been suffering side effects like crazy. I need help. I have dizziness, lightheadedness, high blood pressur, constipation and shortness of breath. I have been on Aminodarone for eight months now. I understand that Aminodarone is a great drug but the side effects are terrible. I do not want to die, i just want to have a normal life again. I resarched on the medication. Is it possible i can take Dronedarone? Please help.
