Dysplasia

  I was diagnosed having a condition in my right ventricle called dysplasia. It causes me to have V-tach at a rate of 220-250 beats per minute. I was told that ablation could not be done and I had and ICD put in my chest. I was also put on Sotalol but had severe side-effects that prompted my doctor to replace sotalol with Amioderone. I still have some dizziness and palpitations with occasional feelings that I will pass out, but I don't. I also have not had ICD go off, so my Amioderone therapy appears to be working to stop v-tach. Unfortunately, I still feel disoriented, a little dizzy, and light-headed with impending senses of collapse that has not happened yet. On some days I feel great on others I am hanging on to maintain myself. My question is: Do you think my symptoms are side-effects of Amioderone (200mg twice a day) or some low level arrythmia below the threshold of my ICD. What can be done if anything to stabilize the situation? Cut back on Amioderone dose or what?
  Thanks,
