Thank you for your input. I was diagnosed with A-fib in 2008 had an ablation in 2009 only lasted 8 months. I was ok for some time and would go in and out of A-fib. In 2017 had another ablation it only lasted 8 months. They cardioverted me and put me on flecainide which I was on until I had a issue in April of this year. Felt like I was going to pass out and heart racing. In the past upping my dose of flecainide for a few day's would put me back in rhythm and then tapper back to my regular dose. This time it didn't work so they have put me on Amiodaron and have been on that for about a month now. Haven't had any issues looks like I will be on it as long as it works. I will get tested every six months to make sure it's not doing any damage to my liver. Thanks again for your input.

Sure thin,g Thanks for the update as we all are here to help each other. For me I also like the fact that there are options going forward as our conditions change. You may also want to have your PCP monitor you Thyroid as mine became damaged from Amiodarone also.
