Question
I don't think
flecainide
is working for me - 2 weeks in and I'm getting asymptomatic AFib attacks every second day or so. They are mild (less than 90bpm) and I can pretty much carry on with no ill effects. The
flecainide
is brilliant at resolving the attacks in less than 3 hours.

RF ablation today. Update!
He doesn't like
Flecainide
and feels it can provoke Afib. I begged to stay on a small dose of Bisoprolol as going to 3.75 yesterday to nothing today makes me nervous so I'll take 1.25 tonight.

Have a great weekend
I was placed on a daily dose of 200mg of
flecainide
but for weeks it just did not seem to work. However I stuck with the daily dose of
flecainide
and bisoprolol and lo and behold - this week, no daily attacks and sleeping through the night!

Change from Bisoprolol to Diltiazam.
(I’m also on
Flecainide
.) I’d like to hear about others’ experience with Diltiazam. Thanks.

Should I up my medication
My question is since my 2nd ablation I halved my meds so I went from 200
flecainide
and 250 bisoprolol a day down to 100
flecainide
to 1.25 bisoprolol but I keep getting HHR often and I’m due to go back to work soon so should I keep the bisoprolol at 250 but keep the
flecainide
at 100

Reactions to Flecainide and Amiodarone?
EP added
Flecainide
to my meds and did the second cardio. I felt the
flecainide
initially increased the symptoms I was feeling of weakness and inability to exert myself without getting short of breath.

Beta blockers
I see many people here take beta blockers with
Flecainide
. Can I ask why? I have been on 200 mg of
Flecainide
now for two years but was never offered beta blockers. Probably a silly question but what is the connection between the two? I assumed it was one or the other.

Update from me!
Upshot is that he has me booked in for a Radio frequency ablation but this won't happen till at least the end of this year unless there's a cancellation. meanwhile he's advised me stopping the
Flecainide
as we both think this is making matters worse at times.

One for the ladies - can you have Botox? ( SVT - not sure if i am AF awaiting investigations)
Fast forward now on
Flecainide
and Bisoprolol… will it interact with my meds and could spike my HR … i am not going to get it done if I end up in SVT or with some type of weird flutter …

You lot are making me depressed!
Flecainide
200mg/day helps somewhat. What I find odd is that I feel a bit nauseous and "pumped up" before an episode starts, and after it finished, maybe half an our later. Anyone else? The depressing part is that it looks like I'll just have to put up with it.

Update on my big decision not to have fourth ablation
So I am to stop
Flecainide
for 48 hours, ring to see if the blood tests are okay and if so, start the Dronedarone.

Flecainide and tobacco smoke
In Medscape I found the following re
Flecainide
. "Tobacco smoke may reduce
flecainide
plasma level.

Atrial flutter
I’m taking 50mg of
flecainide
twice a day and 1.25mg of bisoprolol once a day. Played golf this morning and then prepared to celebrate (no alcohol as I’m teetotal) the jubilee by hosting a bbq for around 10.

Is this signs of progress?
I have just started taking daily
flecainide
after AFib became more frequent. I have a perfectly healthy heart and mild hypertension. I am awaiting a prescription for a beta blocker to go along with the
flecainide
.

AF for 3rd time in 26 months
I was sent away with
flecainide
and Soltalol (beta blockers despite being asthmatic) and told to see my GP within 2 weeks. I feel awful, very nauseous, very tired, dizzy and headache. I just don't know where to turn, I have a GP appointment in 10 days time, the first one I can get.

How Flecainide works query?
I’m new to
Flecainide
100 twice a day. Was on Bisoprolol 5mg now on 10mg. I have persistent AF - is
Flecainide
to keep the heart beat at what the bisoprolol sets it at or is
Flecainide
supposed to the rate?

Exercising at higher altitude with afib
Now taking 50 mg
Flecainide
twice per day and 25 mg metoprolol once per day. No blood thinner. Until diagnosed, I was enjoying being physically active, but the AFib episodes scared me and slowed me way down.

Flecainide
I see in these posts that a lot of you advise taking
Flecainide
an hour before meals. Why? The advice by the drug company and my doctor is to take it before, during or after meals. I have been taking it in the middle of my breakfast, should I change?
