What dose of Flecainide are you taking? Not sure if that is the cause of your anxiety as this is a common bedfellow of atrial fibrillation. Many people suffer this problem and you need to investigate strategies to overcome this. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT ) and mindfullness are just two possibilities.

Always discuss with your treating doctor as there may be other alternatives but as above please look into methods to control your anxiety.
