I was put on amiodarone after my open-heart surgery in 2018.My cardiologist removed ne from Amiodarone after 6 months. Six months later I went into atrial fibrillation on my way to a routine cardiology follow-up. After my cardioversion he started me on 80 mg of Sotalol. That was in March 2019. I have been taking one 80 mg Sotalol two times daily ever since.
My pulse is on the low side, around 48 bpm. This is a concern for every new doctor or nurse who treats me but has not been a problem till this year. In March I came down with pneumonia and had to take antibiotics. At the end of June, I was hospitalized for congestive heart Failor, which probably led to a second bout of Pneumonia in early July. Follow that up in August with COVID-19. That is a lot of reasons for S.O.B.
