    My husband has been on this med and has gone into afib twice in one month and had to be airflighted to another hospital each time because of the symptoms he was having with the afib which was stated how strange it was when it happen.would not respond to meds to convert so of course had to do electric shock each time.so now sucks because we are stuck with high medical bills now for someones oversight because how do you prove this even with the recall.
