Yup, and I don't know if things would have turned out differently, but he prescribed the 400 mg of Amiodarone and 250mg of Dilitiazem in the hospital. So I had no idea I was taking it and after they released me, my family followed the discharge instructions and the meds were a part of my regiment. This went on for 11 months until I was so debilitated, I did not have any quality of life. When the cardiologist in the hospital had given an appt for me to my sister, off we went a week after my discharge. He performed a nuclear test (clear) another echocardiogram (fine) a week of monitoring (fine) then 1 day of monitoring and he said "you have Bradycardia. When I called for a confirm the next appt. I asked if he had any additional information and was told my whomever answered the phone "oh, he wants to give you a pacemaker". I think I swore at her and that was the last I saw of him and his staff. But, he sent me to an electrophysiologist for follow-up so I went. He was told by my primary doctor to stop the drugs, which he did, but then prescribed Flacinide. Since I finally wised up and realized that the Amiodarone has a 1/2 life of at least 125 days so both drugs were in my system at the same time. I can't even describe what it was like and the damage is done and now my thyroid is no longer working properly. Of course, the answer is another drug being introduced to take care of the thyroid problem from the former medications and now side effects have started again. Different side effects, but still just another medication, like most that are given by doctors to patients, that create additional health problems or worsen what you had in the first place. And the answer is to just add another medication to stop the damage from the first medication, and on and on. The bottom line is that you're never the same but you can pass along your experience and hope it helps someone else looking for answers.
