Paroxysmal A-Fib, 69, female, slim, in good shape: I was just in hospital for 4 days for dofetilide adjustment, heart cath and trans-esophageal ultra sound. My valves are okay for a while yet. Docs doubled the dofetilide. Outside of being in A-fib almost constantly now, I am yawning and sleepy all the time right now. Has anyone else experienced this?

Lizzy, How are you feeling on double the dosage? Do you feel it is the medication that is contributing to the yawning and feeling sleepy?

I was on Tikosyn 500 mg 2xd for about 2 years with good success prior to ablation .
Have you explored having an ablation?
I would suggest contacting Dr Andrea Natale in Austin - the best in the field .
Best of luck ,
