just took my first 50mg of flecinide after 4months
Will be interested to hear how you get on with flecainide. It's been suggested that I may be prescribed this.
Hope it calms your heart, it's not nice to be constantly aware of a very strong beat. Do you have atrial flutter? I have AF and atrial flutter and once the AF goes and it's just flutter I too have that very strong heartbeat. It keeps me awake when I go to bed.
After trying 4 different beta blockers I was prescribed Flecainide. It wasn't a miracle cure but it did suit me better than anything else. Now, post- ablation I have a store of it to use as a pill-in-the-pocket ie 100 Flecainide and 2.5 Bisoprolol. I have only had to use it once but normality was restored after 90mins.
Hi Duckpopper, I too would be interested to hear how you get on. I am new here with just one severe bout of AF 4 weeks ago.
I have been on flecinide before my ablation , and found it very good didn't want to come of it ,it realy settled my heart so id say give it a try .im still getting that strong feeling of heart beating at min but only took it 2 hrs ago .
Hello Duckpopper,
I have PAF,was prescribed Flecainide as "Pill in Pocket" 300mg.only when I have an episode,this works wonders for me,within 40mins,sometimes a little longer,I cardiovert back to normal,I feel so much safer having the pill in pocket.
Eleanor.
How are you feeling now?
