I haven't had any side effects that I have seen from the Amiodarone. I started on 200 twice a day because I was concerned about what it would do.
Doctor said yesterday that would do little good and that there needs to be a loading dose of 400mg 3xday, so I am trying that today. It steps down each week.
At the echocardiogram yesterday my BPM was 48. That was at noon and I felt much better by that time of the day already. I wonder how low it is in the mornings because I feel like a truck hit me.
I run a low BPM when I am in good condition, but that isn't the case right now.
