Thank you for the advice! Appreciated greatly!! Multaq, Sotolol are not appropriate for my situation, but we did try Multaq. I will look into an outside EP consult/ablation as well. Thank you!!
As for the ablation, I had one successful ablation in 2021 that lasted a year and a half. The second ablation was attempted but they were unable to induce the rhythm so they recommended medical management. I have mostly CNS side effects (headaches , anxiety/agitation, nausea, dizziness, etc. I have a normal blood pressure that is low, so I have less room to wiggle with the heart meds. I am trying Norpace next but am cautiously skeptical as I have had so many issues. I know the ablation is not risk free, but it would be nice not to spend the rest of my life in meds (I am 48).

Hi @megansims
I know this post is about your heart issues but I read in another post that you were beeing studied because you had high Chromogranin and Serotonin levels. I am in the same situation, all my tests came back clear (gallium ct, endoscope…). Can I ask you if you finally find the cause?

Sorry for my english, I am spanish!

I appreciate your answer, I am really anxious about this, thank you!!
