On 10/1 /24, I had alternate skipped beats, for which I took cordarone 400 over a period of 2 hours in the evening, but emergency relieved me after 2 hrs because there I had come to sinus rhythm. Same occurrence of bigeminy occurred on 16/1/24 in the morning for which I took 3 cordarone over a period of 3 hrs. Emergency at apollo again relieved me after ecg only on advice from main cardiologist. On seeing him, he said continue with cordarone 100 bd and take 100 mg as sos.
