atrial fibrillation
"Had a double coronary artery bypass graft (CABG,) in May 17 due to 3 major arteries blocked around heart. Never had any symptoms before op except shortness of breath on stair climbing. Nice steady heart rate around 56 resting and BP 130/75. I'm a 61 year old Type 1 diabetic.
Since my op I have been into A&E 4 times with Tachycardia and AF and for the last 10 weeks have been in AF or Sinus with ectopics. I was prescribed Bisoprolol after my op but I felt it was not working as my heart rate was way to low. Started taking Sotalol today and after 2 tablets I can honestly say I feel much better. More regular heart beat, less thumping and less pain in my legs and feet. Hope it continues but so far a better experience"
