Sick Sinus Syndrome
A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

After reading questions and answer here I believe the answer to all my concerns points to sick sinus syndrome. My question is how I should bring this to my cardiologist without upsetting him. Most doctors have a dim view of their patients self diagnosing. Everything that I read on this is me. I should add I had a heart attack and stent insertion back in Aug 2017. I have just started going to this cardiologist after having one that did nothing and don't want to get on the wrong side. Any… read more

Any Issues With Taking The Rx Amiodarone? I Have Had Major Issues.
A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

Amiodarone was prescribed for me after I went back into Afib after an ablation. I was hospitalized. After I was discharged, I remained on Amiodarone.

My iodine level was 1495, normal is 52 to 109. My thyroid was not been right for a year and I've been taking thyroid medication… read more
