I am a 60 year old woman and I have been on Sotalol for over five years now and cannot lose the extra weight!! I am so frustrated!! I attend a hard core gym for elite athletes and work out hard three to five times a week for three years now. I know I'm doing my cells a favour but my tummy area is huge and will not go down no matter how many core classes I do!! I need this medication for my Afib as I have had four pulmonary ablation now and there are too many hot spots in my atria! So, I have to live with it!! I'm going to keep fighting this!! Grrrrrr!!!
