P.S. I believe amioderone which I was also on for several months - contributed to PH. It also caused bradycardia so I had to have a pacemaker. Not to mention elevated liver enzymes and edema.
I never should have taken it for the afib but was convinced by my first cardiologist when I lived on Cape Cod. I can’t really blame him as amioderone is first line drug for treating afib.
My sister also has afib and is on fleccanide.

Do you think when you go off amioderone your pressure will go down? Since I took that too I’ve wondered if it would. I asked dr if he thought amioderone caused it and he said no but of course he would since he prescribed it! I started on that when fleccainide quite working for me, took it for 7 months till my ablation last February.
