atrial fibrillation
"Sotalol 80mg x2 stopped my atrial fibrillation (AF), but left my heart rate in the 40's and I had less stamina than when I was in AF.  My EP decided on adding a pacemaker to keep my pulse at 60 or higher and I feel like I am 20 years younger.  I am very active and my AF has not returned.  The pacemaker records everything that happens to my heart and is read remotely by the EP every couple of months or so.  There has been no incidents of AF, and very few PAC's or PVC's.  Sotalol with a pacemaker has been a wonderful solution to my AF, and I would suggest people who are struggling with sotalol ask their doctor about a pacemaker to increase their pulse rate."
