Anyone here taking ONLY Bisoprolol daily for Paroxysmal Afib - it seems great!?
Hello, I started on this regime 6 days ago after a bad reaction to a month of daily
Flecainide
and so far it seems like a wonder drug! No episodes and not even feeling anywhere near one.

Thoughts on Daily Bisoprolol with Sotalol as PIP?
Given my adverse reaction to
Flecainide
, if I do have an episode, the intention is to try first Bisoprolol 1.25mg as a PIP, and if that doesn’t work, 40mg of Sotalol, which I have never tried before. Any experience with this combination (or thoughts) would be much appreciated.

Adjusting to flecainide
To those of you who take
flecainide
I am wondering how long it took you to adjust to taking it? A few months ago I tried it for 10 days and felt very tired, weak, and not as alert as normal. Due to the fact that my afib is becoming more frequent I’m thinking I might try taking it again.

WPW syndrome
I am already taking
flecainide
to stop ectopic beats which have bothered me for years, and it's working well. I do have a Kardia monitor and using it today I can see definite curves... I have sent it to her, but would like to hear from anyone who has this please.

Questions to ask electophysiologist??
Increase in episodes in 2019, prescribed metropolol and
flecainide
. Summer 2020,
Flecainide
was increased and consult with electrophysiologist recommended after several back to back Afib episodes, necessitating trips to ER. Thanks so much for your help.

PACs Very Annoying
Flecainide
Metoprolol don't help. My EP said it's only one or two bad spots doing it and he suggested another ablation. Got another ablation two weeks ago just too target the PACs. Of course for the hour and a half I was under anesthesia not one PAC!

An update on EP refusing ablation because of obesity.
Interestingly the Dr in A and E give me
flecainide
intravenously ( 150 mg / over 10 mins) and it worked - 2 hours later but it worked.

Time for flecainide to work
Had a terrible day yesterday with ectopics/flutters. It got so bad I was sweating profusely and breathless. I phoned 111 and all credit to the NHS they sent an ambulance. I was taken in to Frimley in Surrey where they carried out extensive tests but found nothing amiss, which was good news. Came home

1.25mg bisoprolol
I’ve got my cardio appointment on Tuesday and I suspect that I’ll be going on a maintenance dose of
flecainide
. The cardio on the last appt suggested that I’ll have to take 1.25mg bisoprolol, the lowest dose. This is due to my blood pressure average being around 115/75.

Take meds on an empty stomach, or take with food, or ?
I take the
flecainide
twice a day, 12 hours apart. I was told to take the metoprolol extended release at the same time as my
flecainide
, with or without food ....

Advice on switching from Daily Flecainide only to Daily Beta Blocker and PIP Flecainide
Anyway, the net is that the cardiologist has suggested a low daily dose of a beta blocker (I don't yet know which one or how low...) and reverting to use
Flecainide
as PIP only. I guess a helpful side effect should be to reduce the BP as well.

It's The Medicine Stupid!
Best of all, I no longer need to take the Bisoprolol and
Flecainide
which must be beneficial. I have continued to take the magnesium. Quite clearly, with the benefit of hindsight, I made a mistake by not having the ablation much earlier.

Questions re WPW
Have been taking
flecainide
for several years which helps enormously. Anyway, was going through a bad patch with pounding heart when I saw the dr and she said my ecg showed possible signs of wpw, but nothing worrying.
