My father has been in A-Fib for almost a year now. Doctors have tried atenolol etc.with no luck. He is on Cordarone now and feels horrible! He is very weak, fatigued, and cant sleep. What is this drug really?? I hear that it is good. I certainly hope so. Now his hands are shaking somewhat. How does this drug affect so many functions? Apparently doctors are going to 'shock' the heart soon. I am concerned that the condition seems to be winning. What else can be done/ thank so much.
