Experiences with

Flecainide

Hello all has any one been put on flecainide for peroxsmal afib and sinus bradicardia I have both does af cause sinus bradicardia . Is there any bad side effects flecainide worried to take them as new tablet :)

My cardiologist recently advised me to change from using Flecainide as a PIP to taking 50mg tablets twice a day. A few days after starting this I became permanently dizzy so stopped taking the daily Flecainide and the dizziness stopped within the next couple of days.

I am currently on 10mg bisoprolol and 50g x2 flecainide which I have taken together before with no side effects. Just gone back on flecainide while waiting for a second ablation after af returned This time, coinciding with resuming flecainide I have been getting regular bouts of vertigo.

However the Flecainide at this dose has stopped my AF episodes completely (for now anyway) though I do have some stomach issues which I think may be due to the Flecainide.

4 1/2 months post pulse ablation, taking Flecainide and Diltiazem. Cardio cut Flecainide dosing in half after heart rate was dropping dangerously low. Everything seemed OK, but started having swelling in legs, ankles, feet about 6 weeks ago.

I've been on Flecainide for almost 5 years now, it has kept me in NSR the entire time, and I've felt very little side effects if any. My new EP wants me to add Diltiazem because of potentially bad side effect of Flecainide....

Question- could the flecainide make my heart less responsive to the change in activity levels ? I’m wondering if the daily amounts arent making PAF any less frequent , what’s the point of taking them ?

I have been asked to stop one Flecainide 50mg per day ( I usually take three Flecainide per day) and replace it with one 1.25 mg Bisoprolol Can I take both together first thing in the mornings. Thank you all

Hi everyone, is anybody on flecainide aware of any interactions with food? I've been on a health trying to lose weight and improve my over all diet by introducing nuts seeds and other healthy stuff.

AF returned so back on Flecainide but NSR would not return without cardioversion. Flecainide upped and all well until radio frequency ablation was offered after a years wait.

Those of you who take Flecainide daily have you experienced PAF after a vaccine, or does Flecainide prevent? Thanks again.

Hello all I was on 3 x 50mg flecainide 2 x 5mg Apixaban 1 x 20 Atorvastatin I used to be on Bisoprolol as pill in pocket but I was taken off it as heart rate went to low New Cardiologist has changed meds to 2 flecainide daily and 1 Bisoprolol 2.5 Heart rate this morning 49 ?

Put on 50mg flecainide 3x a day. Still having PVC's (ectopics) so they are changing my meds to 50mg flecainide x2 a day and adding verapamil. I'm worried that I will get more VT episodes. Anyone on these combinations of drugs for VT? Thanks

Has anyone else noticed this coming off Flecainide? It would not be difficult to put the fatigue down to ageing.

I'm having an anxiety issue with the flecainide 50mg 2 times daily that I had been prescribed 2 weeks ago and still havnt taken it due to my fears of taking it.

Is there anyone taking 100mg Flecainide twice daily and Tildiem 60 mg twice daily? If so, have you had any problems with this combination?

I have been taking Flecainide for many years and it has helped tremendously in management of my PAF. I had a heart attack a little over a year ago, my medications remained much the same still including 100mg Flecainide am and pm.

electrophysiologist claims my heart rate is low when it's not in tach and flecainide has the reputation of lowering it further. however upon my research flecainide seems to be safer with less toxicity/side effects. amiodarone has a 2 /5 rating while flec has 4. idk what to do as the specialist presents

Once AF has resolved is it normal to stay on beta blockers/flecainide etc

2, Should I consider increasing my Flecainide to 300mg a day? 3. Would a cardio version be worth a shot? My consultant doesn’t think it would work for me. 4, My consultant suggested that if 200mg of Flecainide didn’t work I should consider taking a drug.
