After reading through the topics, it seems if a lot of people are on Sotolal. I was wondering if anyone had the same side effect that I do, which is, when I'm in AF, I get stomach pains after walking or exerting myself too much. This only happens when I'm on Betapace. A quick background:

I've been on Verapamil since 1989. It always worked well until I started getting some AF. I was put on Betapace, which worked for about 3 weeks. Then I went to Norpace, but had some side effects that weren't fun. However, while in AF and on the Norpace, I didn't have the stomach pain. I have four episodes of VF (1 shock, 3 non-sustained) in the last week so I was put back on Betapace. Sure enough, here come the stomach pains again. My docter is a bit perplexed to why this happens and has suggested I try to walk through it.

I was wondering if anyone else has similiar experiances as me?

I take 320 mgs of Sotolol a day and that is not one of the symptoms I have had. I have a boatload of others, but not that one.
