I had atrial fibrillation for a long time. My cardiologist recently tried me on amiodarone, and I am finally in a normal heart rhythm. Are there any side effects from this medication?

Occasionally, I have atrial fibrillation. I hate it, but I hate taking medications, too. My doctor wants me to go on amiodarone. Can you tell me if it has any side effects? I need to decide which is worse--the problem or the medication?

Ask the doctor. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. My doctor put me on blood thinners for a few weeks and then performed electrical cardioversion. Naturally, I was asleep during the procedure, but I understand that they shocked me twice and both times my heart briefly returned to a normal rhythm. But after a few seconds it went back into atrial fibrillation. NOw my doctor has offered me a choice. I can stay in atrial fibrillation and take a blood thinner for the rest of my life. Or I can try a medication to restore a normal heart rhythm and give cardioversion another try (but I'll probably have to take the antiarrhythmia drug for a long time). Any suggestions?

I recently underwent a successful cardioversion to correct a rapid pulse (140 beats per minute) attributed to atrial fibrillation. My cardiologist then prescribed 400 milligrams a day of amiodarone for two weeks, then 200 milligrams a day. What do you think of this drug?
