Flecainide
My Cardiologist is suggesting I now take the above 50mg twice a day. I have a history of Atrial tachycardia. I have also had one Ablation procedure to correct an Atrial Flutter. I am reluctant to take tablets because of side affects. Has anyone else been on this and what has been your experience. Thanks

Inhaled Flecainide promising for returning pts with AF to normal rhythm
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Inhaled
flecainide
shows promise for returning patients with recent-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) to sinus rhythm, a new study suggests "Inhaled
flecainide
converts patients to sinus rhythm at a much lower - read 'safer' - plasma concentration compared to oral or intravenous

Ectopic Beats Don't, In Themselves Constitute Afib. Correct?
Since the ablation, I have some eptopics that I didn't have before ablation on the same dose of
Flecainide
I'm on now. I know Bob D told us to stay away from our Kardias for two months which I had faithfully obeyed.

Am I now in permanent AF?
These episodes are usually terminated by PIP
flecainide
and metoprolol . I’m used to them now and basically ride it out till I convert to NSR. I have been in AF for over 28 hours now and even my maximum dose of
flecainide
has not worked.

Side Effects intolerable
Side effects Does anyone experience side effects of
Flecainide
? I started 50 mg twice a day in January to prevent episodes with no problem. Now I have extreme fatigue, headache, thick head fog, insomnia once in bed. I’ve lost all motivation. But, it took care of my AF! I can’t continue like this.

Morning arrhythmia for a few hours
Was on
Flecainide
then. I have low bp, am 65 and am currently taking only Bisoprolol 1.25mg on waking. I have chronic nausea since possible covid infection in 2020, or could be reaction to one of my meds.

May the Fourth be with me!
Per EP’s instructions, came off metoprolol and
flecainide
four days prior to today … and amazingly no Afib or flutter. In fact, feeling quite well. So wondering if I should proceed once again! Wish me luck-blessings-thoughts&prayers-good juju-whatever. I’ll let you know later.

Amiodarone as pill in pocket
I take
Flecainide
150mg, Bisoprolol 1.25 and Xarelto 20mg every morning and this regime usually keeps me free from Afib episodes and able to lead an active life.

My brother told me a nurse has just diagnosed AF!
Lastly, I have found there is no right or wrong way to deal with it and ‘your solution’ will very likely come from various directions eg for me, i turned down the invitation of an ablation and I used
Flecainide
to buy me time for Lifestyle changes, then those two improved me unexpectedly so much that

Link between AF and Eyesight ?
My cardiologist also said that he was not going to prescribe me any antiarrhymics like
Flecainide
as that would only lower my heart rate further..

Flecainide
When I last saw the doctor at Broad Green Cardio he said it was ok to take an extra
flecainide
if AF happens as long as I don`t go over 300mg a day.

AFib, Post Ablation, & Sex
Once I got on
flecainide
and metoprolol, having a sexual climax no longer seemed to produce an episode. Also, are there guidelines/recommendations for a period of time post Ablation to avoid sex.

Coughing and breathing problems with medication
Had to come off that due to side effects so put on
Flecainide
unfortunately he should have been put on Bisoprosol with this but it was not prescribed and he ended up in hospital with atrial flutter after 5 days.
