Is Flecainide making me worse?

[drooi]

I’m at my wits end - I have had multiple ectopics for 3 years, recently developing into PAF, and occasional SVTs. Bisoprolol up to 10mg a day probably made it worse, Sotalol 80mg bd did not work, now Cardio put me on Flecainide 50mg bd and Bisoprolol 2.5mg. Thought it helped first day, but then getting a lot of PAF, which is unusual for me. Previously hardly had any PAF, only mostly lots of ectopics. Cardio increased Flecainde to 50mg x 3 a day, which did not help. I’m getting PAF virtually all the time now. Does anyone think the Flecainide is making my PAF worse?

Flecainide doesn't suit everyone in the same way any other drug sometimes doesn't. If you feel worse taking it please check with your medic and ensure they find you something more suitable to you. Best wishes.
