I have AF and a Pacemaker, and am taking 300mg Flecainide a day and 3.5 mg Bisoprolol twice daily, does anyone find these medications can cause stomach upsets. Thankyou.

I took Flecainide 300mg a day for 10 years without stomach upsets. I was not prescribed bisoporol as I am asthmatic. However as there's no "standard" body, people can react differently to medication.

300mg daily Flecainide (2 x 150mg morning and evening) for 4 to 5 years hasn't caused any noticeable stomach problems for me... but we're all different.

If you have any concerns you should raise with your doctor. It might be your medication or it might be something else. If it's causing you grief, you're better off getting it checked out.

In some Bisoprolol can cause nausea and indigestion, I have experienced this so it is a possibility. Hope this helps
