Post ablation

I'm two months post ablation, still on Meds and trying to get back to normality. I'm on flecanide and rivaoxoban. I seem to be getting missed beats in my HR usually at the end of the day and I think after exercise. I forgot my Meds one day and felt great. Can flecanide be the cause? Any comments most appreciated.

Ectopics or missed beats are very common and all people get them regardless of if they have AF or not. It is just that we AFers notice everything about our hearts. Some anti-arrhythmic drugs can have a pro-arrhythmic affect so it could be the flecainide or it could just be that your heart is still recovering since you are not even up to three months yet. Things should improve over time. Tiredness always makes thing worse.

Interested as I am on same meds and 6 weeks out. My heart is still very active and seems to be getting some worse after 5 weeks as minimal activity.
