Flecainide and dizziness

[Spj57]

Hello, I took flecainide as a pip for the first time over two days ago but I have been feeling very light headed ever since. Is this a normal reaction? Will it happen every time I take it? I don't normally feel quite this bad after an episode 😞

hi I’ve been taking flecanide for nearly 18 months. Never experienced any lightheadedness but maybe because I only took the pill when I had an afib episode and not on a regular basis. I tend to relax and not do to much after taking pill to allow time for it to work and bring me back into normal rhythm

Thank you 🙂 I do the same. Are you taking 200mg as a pip?

[Dondito in reply to Spj57]

no maybe that’s why your getting dizziness. I’ve been given pills of 100mg but told not to take any more than 150 a day. I’ve only ever taken 1 pill during an episode and that sorts my afib out after two to three hours
