Cordarone / Amiodarone
A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

I developed AIT and was really ill for 18 months with an overactive thyroid my heart was mimicking the thyroid and would go Afib flutter and then stop, luckily I have an ICD implant, One Cardiologist wanted to stop the dose and the other wanted to keep me on the Cordarone I finished up staying on the drug, like I say it took 18 months for the thyroid to settle and I finished up on Steroids and Neomarcazole, Is there a better way of treating AIT? I worry that the AIT will return.

I was diagnosed when I was born so I don't know what life was like befire my disease. There are days when I'm depressed or anxious and sometimes jump at every little chest pain, palpatation, or anything else that seems unusual. I've found that the best way to cope is to accept that some things happen and do something really fun to take your mind off things. Or just researching your illness a little to understand what symptoms are of real concern and which aren't
