Two weeks post surgery and I feel better than I thought I would. Can't wait to see the cardiologist about why they put me on Amerodion.I expected a short period on warfarin but theven Amerodion looks like it has a lot of bad side effects.

Catie B Clayton, did you have afib? That's why I had to have Amiodarone for a few months. True about side effects, but I was told it's the best rhythm med.

Clayton Mcarthur Hi catie,I had one episode post surgery , I suspect I probably had some pre surgery but thought they were indigestion. Just don't want to be on it to long
Catie B That may be why. I hear you, wanting to stop as soon as they'll let you.

Cathy Zuber Hi Clayton..have had lots of AFIB and a-flutter since my surgery. Right after surgery I was on Amiodarone, Cardizem, Digoxin, and Metropolol..now 4 months later I'm still on the Amiodarone and Metropolol. Even the docs would like to get me off the Amiodarone...talk to cardiologist..sometimes AFIB after surgery takes more than 2 weeks to stabilize. Just hang tight and work with yr docs. Wouldn't it be wonderful..wonderful to take no drugs!!!!!!!

Rose Madura I'm on Amiodarone and Metrolpol due to Afib and aflutter after the surgery. Since I'm very symptomatic to this, my cardiologist wants to keep me on them for a while. Dealing with the side effects (for me) is worth any kind of Afib or aflutter attack. I think it's fairly normal for heart surgery patients to be on these two medications.
