Easter Update
Hello, dear Reader I have now stopped the Amiodarone. It's not as scary as it sounds as last time it took 5 weeks before I started getting fast heart rate. So far I am only just over two weeks into those five. Even before that though, I had one of fast HR while mopping the floor. Felt it straight away and was filled with dread but it ended after five minutes or less. Asked Papworth Hospital arrythmia nurses if I should still come off the drug and they said yes, that it was too toxic to stay on long-term and we wouldn't know if it had worked if I didn't stop it. My recovery has continued to go well. I was able to increase my running quite substantially so I was running further than expected more quickly that I expected and gained fitness quicker than expected. Exciting! I think the whole recovery has just been easier this time (because they "didn't do much") and also I was doing weekly fast Nordic walks rather than just normal walking. Generally...
