Wishing you all a merry Christmas and an AF free day, Flecainide PIP came to my rescue overnight. Bernard

Hi Bernard, I’m glad you’re sorted. Unfortunately, I’m still fibbing nicely, having started at 11.30 last night🙄 Back to the cardio for a new treatment plan in the New Year, methinks! Enjoy the rest of the day!

I have been trying to use Flecainide as PIP for the past six months but the AF occurrences have started to last longer so last week I reverted back to 100mg twice daily and using the final 100mg as PIP, as I said earlier it worked a treat last night AF was over within 1.5 hours of taking the PIP. I will continue like this until I get my 2nd ablation.

Bravo. Usually my HR bobs up and down 90-120 BPM and I recently found that adding 1.25mg Bisoprolol to 100mg of Flecainide PIP ends it quicker than Flecainide alone.I am on 50mg Flecainide x 2 daily.

Thank you, that’s useful to know. I’m finally back in NSR after a 15 hour stint, so will be looking into Flecainide ready to run it past the cardiologist when I manage to talk to him again. Good luck with your 2nd ablation. Hope you don’t have to wait too long.

I am now on Flecainide 100mg BD, since October. I have had persistent AF return since mid Sept. Now been in NSR for 6 weeks since 2nd cardioversion. On 10mg bisoprolol and 100mg BD Flecainide. And Dr's orders no running or cycling till I get fixed hopefully on my 2nd ablation.

Ablation was gonna be in Jan, if it weren't for Omicron blocking all non urgent admissions right now... I have the option of the extra 100 PIP if needed. I am now sticking religiously to the meds cos I don't want to kick out again before my ablation!!

Luckily no real side effects, tho massive reduction on exercise is hard. N working hard to watch my weight on the Bisoprolol
