Afib Tikosyn (Dofetilde) 30-day follow up. Viagra/Cialis? Magnesium? Rogaine? 

thank you so much for doing these videos. so wish I was as healthy as you. Godspeed to you

Hey -- I just watched your update--- thanks a million for the summary and the advice. I've been 'converted' now for a week and have returned to the gym, to the pool, and to work. I am slated to wear a heart monitor for two weeks starting Monday to see if my sinus rhythm is consistent (feels consistent to me). I was initially concerned about an iatrogenic response to the Tykosin, but so far, my iatrogenic symptom has been slightly heightened anxiety. I can handle that. Thanks again for taking the time to make these video. Wishing you continued health and a Happy Thanksgiving. Bob

Thanks for sharing. Can we get an 2023 update on your long term Tikosyn use?

Just found your video. I have break through AFib and I’m scheduled for Tikosyn this month. I am very scared but your video helped to explain. I still worry that since I’m not in AFib all the time like once a month. But thank you for sharing what will happen at hospital.

You’re right Apple Watch is so helpful

Thank you for these videos. I've seen this one and the first one you did from the hospital. I have similar concerns as you, but to make a long story short I'll just say that the answer I got from my electrocardiologist to the question of taking sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis) while on dofetilide was the exact opposite. It's okay.

Thx you for sharing your experience I am about to start my journey 05/30/23

I know this is nearly a year after the post but...I do NOT take the sleepy meds when I do a Colonoscopy. It isn't that hard to do.

I appreciate your effort to report on your experience with Dofetilide, but need to correct you on the use of Sildenafil (Viagra.) It is NOT true (according to my electrophysiologist MD) that use of this drug is contraindicated at all, let alone with fatal results. I was told "no problem" and that has been my experience over some time. I use 500 mg dofetilide twice/day and 100 mg sildenafil as needed with no ill effects. I should also say that my pulse and blood pressure are normally below normal, which would seem to be a concern but has not been the case. Thanks again.

Curious, what is your rest pulse rate while in sinus rhythm?

What side effects do you have besides headache?
