I took Amiodadrone for Bout six weeks in a very high dose because of Afib and Aflutter complications. It did not make me nauseous but I had other complications. Definitely discuss it with your doctor. If you need to be on something, you may discuss Multaq. It has less complications,... Read more.

I took Amiodarone for a month because I had a bought of A-Fib in the hospital. I didn't have any side effects but Nausea is listed as one of the top ones. I think your plan to talk to your Cardiologist is sound and worth a push to finish it... Read more.

Fantastic news. Main thing now, listen to your body. Don't overdo it! Keep walking and stay well.

Congratulations! Those readings are pretty for good O2 and BPM at 4 days post surgery. Get plenty of rest and walk, walk, walk :)

Best wishes Jackie. It is an emotional time but remember it will be over (to you) in the blink of an eye and you will be recovering and on to the rest of your life.

Ben Brooks

Praying for you as you go through this. It looks like I won't be far behind, maybe 2-3 months out. Here's to a steady recovery!

Jared Takeshita

Good luck, Jackie. I'll be praying for you. My surgery is on Friday, so I'm in the same boat. The waiting and anticipation is hard. Stay strong.

Marie Myers

I found that the emotional roller coaster ride went on into the post op period. So don't be surprised if you feel emotions that are all over the place post-op. Like Darrrin said, the surgery will be over in the blink of an eye. The waiting is difficult for almost... Read more.

Susan Lynn

Jackie - Wishing you all the best, today! You've got this! We'll be here awaiting your post-op good news! ❤

Darrin Vohs

Maria is right on about the post op roller coaster. I had periods of strong emotions both sadness and euphoria for one to two weeks after the surgery.

Barbara Wood

Very best wishes!
