Hi @damari
You will see I moved your comment to a discussion where members are talking about Afib.
There are people like @elwood, @lucky1038, @funcountess, and @sue225 that you might connect with to talk about different medications.

Damari, are you still taking Eliquis?

I was on Multaq and had no side effects. That said, it was not terribly effective. I had 4 breakthrough episodes (between 7-10 days each) while on it. I have now been switched to Sotalol, which has been very effective at keeping me out of afib. I have had no side effects of Sotalol. They put you in the hospital for a couple of days to monitor your rhythm, as it can cause an issue. Once theymonitored for a couple of days and everything was fine, I had no issues with the medicine. I’ve been on it since February, 2021.
