Today I visited my EP to discuss the results of my 30 day heart monitor. Because I had several episodes of tachycardia, he has recommend to start me on the anti arrhythmic agent Tikosyn (Dofetilide) which requires a 3 day hospital stay for cardiac monitoring.
While I am not looking forward to the hospital stay, if it helps stabilize my arrhythmia, I am willing to go forward with his recommendation.
However, since it is only a recommended option, I would like to hear from others who have gone the Tikosyn route and hear of their experiences.
FWIW, I have had one electric cardio version in January but have gone out of rhythm twice since, both events lasting 2-4 days during which my BP and HR were elevated. For whatever reason, the EP says I am not a candidate for ablation at this point in my aFib journey.
All responses are appreciated.
Regards,
Patrick
