Inhalers and Atrial Fibrillation
I suffer with Atrial Fibrillation for which I take
Flecainide
. After reading about the side effects of the inhaler I am too scared to use it in case it triggers something off? Should I be worried.

Four Months on from Ablation #1
This means that it tends to not respond well (At all) To
flecainide
, and needs quite a lot (5-8mg) of Bisoprolol to get the rate down from 140-150 bpm to around 100-110.

AF and E Bike
My AF had been under control for around 13 years after an Ablation and staying on
Flecainide
. I had to come off
Flecainide
in April after discovering some Coronary Artery disease. Since then my AF episodes have increased to an extent that I go into AF on a weekly basis.

Desperately seeking answers
I am currently on week two of
flecainide
and I seem to be having more “episodes” than when I wasn’t taking it. I want to come off of this medicine so bad. Any suggestions on how I can without adverse effects? Thanks guys!

Weaning off Flecainide
I’ve have been on 150mg twice a day of
Flecainide
but have had so many side effects. So I was told to take 100mg twice a day instead. And now my cardiologist has taken an ECG and says my QRS duration has increased. He contacted my EP who now says to stop taking the
Flecainide
completely.

Flecainide

Which magnesium supplement?
I have recently started on
flecainide
(50mg am and 100mg at night) and dipping in and out of AF. Dr Gupta recommended I try Magnesium glycinate as this has the least negative effects on the bowel and worth trying. Would appreciate your thoughts as to what you take and what brands.

SVT AVNRT ablation
AVNRT successfully ablated and was told that I no longer need to take
Flecainide
or my calcium channel blocker but I have to remain on Apixaban. It's worth asking to be considered for a cancellation. if you are in a queue.

Flecainide
So after just over 3 weeks of being in AF it seems that after 48 of
flecainide
I am back in NSR. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Flecainide and thyroxine
I posted on here recently about taking
flecainide
with or without food? I think the advice is on an empty stomach or one hour before eating. For those of you on thyroxine how do you manage this in the morning?

On Flecainide - what annual tests are advisable?
Literally thousands of people must be on the powerful drug
Flecainide
, but it is not clear to me what the advisable annual tests are if you are being cautious?
