[|Human|] My wife recently started propafenone 325mg she also suffers from early stage alzheimer s. She is experiencing increased memory problems accompanied with more confusion. She has been on 325mg 3 days, before she was taking 225 but her arrhythmia was occurring 67% of the time. What antiarrhythmic medication would you recommend we ask our doctor to try? On March 24th she had a pace maker implanted due to episodes of slow or no pulse for several seconds when the heart was transitioning from arrhythmia to normal rhythm. Multaq 400mg successfully controlled her arrhythmia for a year but then stopped working in March. thank you, Larry
[|AI|]  Hi There After going through your query I understand your concern. I would like to tell you that Propafenone has a tendency to cause arrhythmia and can be the reason of new onset of arrhythmia. Arrhythmia can be controlled by changing the dose of propafenone to 225 or to start another alternative Chat Doctor. It's highly recommended to personally discuss this issue with the Neurologist and Cardiologist for the dose adjustment or another alternative. Hope to have been HelpfulKind Regards
