Just saw my cardiologist today as a follow-up to my ablation. My EKG was finally normal, but the doctor said I should stay on Amiodarone for a month or two longer to let my heart heal. I was hoping he would take me off it due to believed side effects, He indicated that my extreme fatigue might come from the med., but it may be that it takes a while to get over the fatigue even after a successful ablation. He indicated that he would like me to push myself a little and start walking again as long as it is not too hot out. With my HR being normal, he feels that I should not worry about feeling fatigued when I walk as long as I can get some rest during the walk.

I am a bit late in addressing your question about Amiodarone. I took it early in my diagnosis of A-Fib before my first ablation (which gave me almost 9 years with no A-Fib; my second ablation has lasted 4 years and still going; hope this one lasts even longer). My doctor stopped the Amiodarone after less than a month because it caused my hair to fall out. Fortunately I had lots of hair but I have less now. I know it can cause hair loss as a side effect.
