Morning to you all

Like the title says I'm done with feeling like crap all the time its really getting me down now it all started with a run of bad eptopics and flutters ended up in A+E twice doctors changed my meds to bisoprolol and I had a real bad reaction to them so they have put me on flecainide 2x50mg per day with a small dose of propranolol its helped with the eptopics but i feel absolutely crap anyone else feel like this on flecainide

Cheers Phil

I've not had any experience with Flecainide, so I can't answer that, but am on other beta blockers, took a while to get adjusted, but afterwards felt so much better!

Please hang in there and reach out to your doctor/nurse, let them know how you are feeling. It may be as simple as a dose adjustment.

Be well! 😀

I know what you mean, it’s taken me years to balance out my meds. One thing I think that doesn’t help Is when you see a different doctor all the time, they all have a different plan and different ideas.

Do you have a good gp, I really rely on mine as he knows my hole history!

It does get better I promise, hang in there!!!

I would just reiterate what others have said, if the drugs don't work for you, see if they can be changed. I spent far too long trying to 'push on through' but a relatively simple change in drugs made a huge difference for me. Of course, your mileage may vary! :)
