For Atrial Fibrillation "Was prescribed this for Atrial Fibrillation. After ONE dose, I experienced: light-headedness, nausea, dizziness, chest pain, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, severe depression, slightly blurred vision, fatigue, anxiety, heart missing a beat often. At the time of writing, it's three days after my one dose (I stopped it immediately) and am still encountering some of the above side-effects. I am on no other medications, nor have I been."

For Ventricular Arrhythmia "I have been taking sotalol for about 15 years after I had heart bypass surgery. My problems are PVCs and tachycardia. Sotalol controls these symptoms very well, plus eases chest pains which I occasionally get from exertion. The light blue tablets work best for me. The Apotex brand doesn't last long enough. A therapeutic dose of sotalol should last up to 12 hours. The light blue elongated tablets stamped B104 work best for me."
