Hair loss

Hi all, I’m on bisoprolol and flecainide for about three months now and I’m experiencing hair loss, it’s soul destroying to say the least.

Does anyone know if the hair loss stops eventually or if it just gets worse.

Also does anyone know if these meds cause confusion.

Thank you

Hallo Electricblue1. I was on Bisoprolol and Flecainide for eight years and did have some hair loss, but it stopped at a certain point and didn't get any worse. I don't think you're going to go bald! I was grateful that my hated episodes of AF were controlled by the drugs, even at the expense of thinning hair, but it is distressing and I really do sympathize.

I had hair loss (eye problems and weight gain!) while on Flecainide. My hair grew back after I stopped taking it, though the hair loss wasn't that noticeable in the first place -- only to me.
