Sorry if you’re eating your dinner but anyone had diarrhoea after taking Flecainide for first time or indeed not first time? I asked cardiologist but he said it was more likely an upset stomach.

Yes, I had same. Quite a low dose of 50mg. Consultant says stomach bug but too much of a coincidence??!
