Drugs lowering HR

Anyone found that after taking flexicaine for some time it lowers HR too much. Mine has gone down to 40. So have been taken off it and put on bisoprolol but still low.

Do you mean Flecainide, if so what dose were you on? On 200mgs/day for 3 years and my HR has gone from 60 down to 56 and now down to 52. I intend to check with my cardiologist soon.

Yes I meant to type flecainide.. I as on 5mg twice a day. The hospital seem to think that caused the drop in HR. But now it goes as low as 40 then some times high as 70.
