Hi,
As you are on sotalol for 2 years, the irregular rhythm does not correlate with a side effect of the same.
However, another disorder with pacemaker malfunction or else have to be co-related with EKG by an expert cardiologist.
It is not recommended to stop its further doses without medical advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
