| Personal comments | I have a history of heart disease starting at age 33 in 1983.
I developed Afib in April of 2000.
After my first conversion I was taking Corderone
and was fine for 18 months until the Corderone started to affect my thyroid and I had to go off of it. It was been downhill ever since. Sotalol did nothing for my afib, my dose of corderone was lowered with no problaems to date.
