Ablation
I have been taking
Flecainide
for 10 days now 50mg twice daily for PVCs and none sustained runs of VT. They haven’t worked has much than I thought they would. My EP said if the
Flecainide
don’t work then I could have an ablation.

Some interesting questions. Cost of cardioversion?
BTW, 4 years ago, I controlled it very well with
Flecainide
until the ablation. Zero AFIB for 9 months while waiting for ablation. 1. What are the odds that this was a one time bad luck? 2. Should I start taking
Flecainide
again? I already take 25 mg of metoprolol for skipped beats. 3.

Cutting out Bisoprolol?
All, I currently take 2.5mg of Bisoprolol twice per day for paroxysmal Afib that typically occurs 1-2 times per week and is usually terminated by 100mg
Flecainide
PIP within 2-3 hours.

Post ablation
I take 200 mg
Flecainide
plus blood thinner. My reasoning for having the ablation was to get off all meds at some point but have I misunderstood this? Would be grateful for any options on this.

Cryo ablation report + 3weeks on (all OK!)
following a number of attempts at
flecainide
/ atenolol pill in pocket eventually converted back to SR for 2days then then without any obvious trigger atrial flutter which lasted 4 days despite usual pill in pocket attempts at converting Atrial flutter is definitely preferable to atrial fibrillation

Beast is Back
Three weeks after my fourth ablation, and advised to drop
flecainide
, the beast returned. (Kept on metoprolol & Xarelto). Started after an afternoon nap for no reason at all. Confirmed by nurse with ecg yesterday and put back on
flecainide
until appointment on Monday with ep and another ecg.

Driving
Is it ok to drive whilst on bisoprolol 5mg &
flecainide
100mg? I drive a lot with work and am a little nervous after my latest arrhythmia episode 3 weeks ago.

1 week post ablation
Still on my medication although been told to stop the bisoprolol and
Flecainide
after week 2 post ablation which I’m nervous about. What’s your experiences after ablation?

Low pulse rate and afib treatments
Or is the
flecainide
not responsible for the low pulse rate is it the bisoprolol? Any advice or personal experience opinions would be appreciated thanks

Post Cardioversion Issues
Thank you to all those who helped and advised over weekend - saw consultant tonight - ecg shows some delayed heart actions/extra beats but not AF thankfully but we’re keeping meds the same at moment and maybe a new ambulatory BP check as if stop
Flecainide
could go back in to AF, reducing or stopping

In and out of AF during the night.
I take regular
flecainide
which has been working most of the time, but have had a few random episodes lately, no apparent triggers. Last night, a strange thing happened. I was almost asleep when I suddenly went into AF. I breathed deeply and it went back regular. It only lasted less than a minute.

Now what!
Wrote about coming of
Flecainide
. Arrythmia nurse just rang, consultant says if I want to. Not very helpful! 300 on the list to see him before me. So it’s go it alone I guess. Thank you everyone for your advice. Di 😢

Colonoscopy
I’m due to have a colonoscopy the week after next and as I’m on
flecainide
(50mg x2) and bisoprolol (1.25mg) would appreciate some advice. I don’t think I need to stop the medication before the procedure, so I’ve read but does the midazolam interact with the drugs in any way please.

Af gone(for the minute) new problem now,pvcs.
They have upped my beta blockers to 2.5 in the morning and 2.5 at night as they don’t want to give me
flecainide
until they know more about how sound my heart is. Anyone else experienced this? I am struggling to take on board a new arrhythmia but I guess that’s just the way it goes.

Newbie
Was given
Flecainide
and it corrected in an hour. Had all the usual tests and my heart is in rude health. It happened again at the turn of the year and I was given pill in the pocket. It has happened 3 times this week and I have to go back for a reassessment.

Anyone else tried it!
My episodes are getting closer together and
Flecainide
at 100 x2 is no longer holding them. I am wondering if slowly weaning myself off it and going permanent will be a better bet. All thoughts gratefully received. Di

Coming off medication
I’m guessing it’s something to do with halving the bisoprolol and
flecainide
. Any tips would be appreciated, do I go back to normal with the medication or persevere.

Flecainide for VT
My EP has suggested trialing
Flecainide
first before going down the lines of an ablation.
