What Causes Retching, Congestion With Mucus In Head And Throat While On Sotalol?

Following advice.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
After reviewing your symptoms and history I would like to say that you should do all the needed examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms.
If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- Blood work including thyroid hormones levels
- Ecg
- Holter monitoring
- Cardiac echo
- Chest x-ray
- Upper endoscopy
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Audiogram
If all the above mentioned examinations will be normal than your symptoms most likely are due to side-effects from sotalol.
If the symptoms will still persist after 2-3 weeks your symptoms are related to stress and anxiety.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!

Hi back,
If you were my patient I would recommend to take Amiodarone or MULTAQ in stead of sotalol.
Since this medications may have unwanted side effects you should discuss with your doctor about that.
Hope this will be of help!

What do they mean that sotalol is for both rate control and antiarrythmic in one?
if the drugs you mentioned serve the same purpose, but maybe I can tolerate better, I will ask about them.

Yes Amiodarone, Multaq and Sotalol are members of the same class of antiarrhythmic drugs and you may tolerate them better.
On the second question it means that sotalol is of help in controlling Heart rate and arrhythmia.
