Post op ablation: That is a good question!! 1) your cardiologist should have told you whether you should or should not be on sotalol post op. 2) The ablation should be the final solution (I assume you had PAF or SVT issues), so in theory, you should not need to be on sotalol. 3) 80mg twice a day is quite a big dose for your age as can cause dizziness (hypotension) and significant bradycardia (slow Heart rate)

Range: There is always a dose range. You are on the lower end of the spectrum. It is possible to take twice as much as you are currently prescribed. However, everyone responds differently. The answer to how much is right for you depends on what your heart rate is when you are taking the medication and the presence of side effects/how well controlled your symptoms are. Please discuss this with your GP.
