Hi, I am new to the group and this is my first post. I am 61 woman. I have had four ablations, the last one was Nov 28,22 I have developed PVC's and PAC's and continue to have some mild SVT's but NO afib, or other arrhythmias I was having. I asked to try verapamil again, and have been on it for two weeks, the SVT's have stopped but not the PVC and PAC's which are very symptomatic. My EP has suggested I go in the hospital and start Tikosyn. I don't want to. There must be another choice....and if PAC and PVC are not dangerous why would he suggest such an aggressive treatment? HELP

Hi, I understand your concern. I was suggested Tikosyn three years back and my immediate reaction was same. But then after thinking more I agreed to take it. BP jumped to 180 after first dose but nurse and doctor were alert. I was okay. I was on Tikosyn for two years then after Pfizer vaccine I was again in Afib so I agreed to go for ablation. For a year and half I was okay without Tikosyn but then with Afib recurrence I was admitted to hospital and took it again with lesser dose. It is going to be two months and except for few small episodes I am okay. I do not have any visible side effects and continue with Dofetilide 1.5 mcg and Eliquis 5 mg both twice a day.
You can try if your medical group is trust worthy.
