Common side effects of sotalol include shortness of breath (dyspnea), slow heart rate (bradycardia), chest pain, palpitation, new onset or exacerbation of heart rhythm disorders (proarrhythmia), abnormal ECG, low blood pressure (hypotension), congestive heart failure, fatigue, dizziness, light...
Hemochromatosis is defined as a disorder in iron metabolism that is characterized by excess iron absorption, saturation of iron-binding proteins and deposition of hemosiderin (amorphous iron deposits) in the tissues. The primary affected tissues are the liver, pancreas, and skin. Iron deposition in ...
