I have been prescriped Sotalol by a hospital consultant for palpatations. The warning on the leaflet have pretty much scared the **** out of me.
Has anybody used this drug??..
so far just taken the one that they gave me in the hospital and feeling a bit spacey. Seems like quite a serious drug.
Still don't know if palpatations are caused by some sort of arrythmia or anxiety.. ecgs showed at the time i had a racing heartbeat but no other problems and im gonna have to wait about 4 weeks for a 24 hr halter ecg.
My dilemma is looking on the presumption it's anxiety .....
1. do i take this drug which yes, has today completely got rid of palpatations (after a weekend of hell) and suffer the side effects and live with the possible SERIOUS things that could go wrong with this drug (google it if you dare)
2. or do I sit it out and put up with regular palpatations until I get the 24 hr ecg??
Advice anybody.
I'm undecided whether to take my tablet tonight or not.
Thanks guys
