But I just had it for the first time in June (atrial flutter). A cardiac ablation is a serious intervention on me (on the left side) because of my replaced valves and my already stenosed damaged heart (due to radiation treatment in 1977), so they are seeing how I do on amiodarone for the moment.

I was on Amiodarone after my first OHS in December 2017.....and the side effects were that I had no energy at all.
I used to be so proud that I had never had arrythmia. (I had everything else).
Hope you are doing well.
1) Change medicine
2) Do another cardioversion
3) do an ablation
I am trying to avoid 3) and hope 1) and/or 2) will solve the issue. Cardioversion made a huge difference, it just didn't get rid of the afib.
