Only a Cardiologist can initiate treatment with some heart meds e.g Flecainide. 4 weeks is quite quick for an NHS referral, assuming you are UK based. Speak to your GP before changing any meds (i.e. don’t just swap back from Verapamil to Sotalol). All heart meds are potentially dangerous unless in expert hands.

Take care

I took 2 x 240 mg Slow release Verapamil for about ten years it and Losartan are the only two drugs that did not cause me problems. Initially verapamil game me constipation.
