Ablation next week!
I'm hoping it's going to be a success and can't begin to imagine a life without
flecainide
and AF! I'd like to say thanks to all on this forum.

Self identifying type of arrhythmias
I am now off
flecainide
for 1.5 weeks and have had three episodes in that time, always converting on my own in 1 to 3 hours. The one that I have felt the most often over the years consists of a strong beat followed by a series of weaker but fast smaller beats, then repeat.

Question for those with multiple AF ablation experience
I had stopped taking my
flecainide
3 days before the procedure and was in full blown afib when they put me under. They had me back on the flec before I left the hospital.

Im NEW! Worried sick after seeing consultant
Or maybe the weights, I was also taking
Flecainide
at the time of my ECG and he said sometimes that can do funny things to it. I know I need a lifestyle change on the weight/blood pressure side. I have lost 12lbs since I have seen him just over a week ago.

Flecainide- Time to work? Sinus rhythm!
How long does 100mg
flecainide
take to convert to sinus rhythm once afib has started? Just an idea would be great so I know what to expect if I have an episode. This is new to me. Thanks!

Hello - new here
I`m on the usual suspects - Bisoprolol / Dabigatran and just started on
Flecainide
. I`m having my third cardioversion in a month or so (hence the
Flecainide
to help me stay in sinus aferwards). I`m in a-fib all the time until they 'spark' me again.

After AV node ablation and pacemaker implant.
He is going to cardiovert me with
Flecainide
on board to see if he can restore sinus rhythm. As I am now in waters that I know nothing about I have to go along with his suggestion but did not think it was possible to do this?

How many ectopics is too many
I was diagnosed with AF in 2007 but had ectopic beats for years before that and still have them now even though my AF is controlled by
Flecainide
and Bisoprolol . I have an active job and during the day don't always notice the ectopic beats but once I relax they come on with a vengeance.

Is it common to continue on Flecainide after ablation?
i've been on
Flecainide
50 mg 3x day for the past 4 months and a few days ago had ablation for Afib and atrial flutter. Was prescribed to stay on
Flecainide
50mg 2xday until my follow up appointment with EP in May.

Something new happening
I contacted my cardiologist office after one bad episode and they said to take my PIP
Flecainide
which I did one time. I'm so disappointed with this new issue, I know nothing about aflutter or what causes it or what to do about it.

Flecanide and effects
In a study of people who had experienced heart attacks within the past 2 years, people who took
flecainide
were more likely to have another heart attack or to die than people who did not take
flecainide
.

Home after ablation
Started my
flecainide
again (50mg twice a day - had stopped 5 days before). Carrying on with apixiban 5mg also twice a day. Stop them in 2- 3 months to see how I go. I started the apixiban in prep for ablation - wasn't on it before.

Plus & Minus, node ablation?
I am female, age 76 and am still on meds, bisoprolol and
flecainide
. The actual ablation doesn’t worry me near as much as the MINUSES of this decision. Any insight on this would be helpfull. I read the posts on here every day and it helps me a lot.

An experiment!
I was reaching for the
Flecainide
as soon as I had the wobbles, terrified that i was going to go into AF at any moment.

Reducing Bisoprolol Dosage Post Ablation.
I have been taking Bisoprolol and
flecainide
since 2013 and unlike many people on here bisoprolol doesn't affect me at all regards tiredness or headaches ect, it has been great for keeping my ticker in check.

Ectopics or Atrial fibrillation (?)
Medications via Cardiologist: Vasocardol (calcium blocker) and
Flecainide
50mg to 75mg 2X a day. (I tried beta blocker Metoprolol but found it to be incredibly sedative so we swapped to a calcium channel blocker which has helped to allow me have higher energy levels).

On for a rant
On IV, ask if I should just take my
Flecainide
(prescribed by a brilliant EP, take twice daily, can go up to 250g if in PAF etc.) Oh we are transferring you to the halfway house, they’ll sort it out. Gets there, now in Afib 5 hours.
