After being diagnosed with fast fib and tachycardia (SVT) and going on

Chest pain with afib?
Then the afib kicked in, with heart rate up to 140, and it lasted for almost six hours, in spite of my taking another 50 mg
flecainide
. Having an episode last more than a brief few minutes was something new to me!

My doctors are hoping the
Flecainide

Flecainide and doom and gloom sensations
Because of some short-lived paroxysmal afib episodes I was started on
Flecainide
in mid-2016 -- 100mg x 2 per 24 hours.

Breathlessness and Bisoprolol
Has anyone taking
Flecainide
changed to a calcium channel blocker or other drug to relieve breathlessness? Does anyone know if these alternatives to Bisoprolol keep heart rate down? I assume they do.

Episode?
I have recently come off Nebivolol and been given
Flecainide
as a PIP. Last night the minute I lay down in bed my heart started a rumba which lasted most of the night. However, my hr was 79 at the highest. Am I likely to encounter several of these episodes while my body adjusts? Di

Coming off Tambocor (flecainide)
So I have been on
flecainide
since April 2017 and we (my EP and I) are seeing if we can stop taking it (I had an ablation in Jan 2017). I have been on 100mg per day (the slow release capsules) and went cold turkey on Monday.

18 days post RF ablation for AFIB
I asked her if I should just take
flecainide
if I get another SVT run rather than AFIB. She didn’t think that would be the right medicine to take and said if I got another run to go to a&e so they can monitor and advise.

Update 16 days post RF ablation
I managed to get the Bpm down after taking pill in the pocket
flecainide
after 2 hours. In some ways was was hoping my Kardia said AF as u know what u are dealing with then. And the chest pain isn’t sonething I have experienced to the sane degree.

PAT with an ICD and Sotolol
Hi, I had an ICD fitted 2 and a half weeks ago and was put on Sotolol (I’ve been on Bisoprolol and
Flecainide
for 5 years and they were no longer working). A week later I had a PAT episode that was manually terminated at the hospital using the ICD.

Since coming off Flecainide
I wrote a couple of weeks ago about my Cardiologist taking me off
Flecainide
. Since coming off it for the 1st week I was getting a lot of ectopic beats but they settled down. 2 days ago I was in work had a meal then stretched back in my chair which started my heart to race to 208 BPM.

Flecainide
I now have been given Amiodarone to take so hope this will be as effective as
Flecainide
was. I'm worried though about side affects as had none with
Flecainide
. Fingers crossed.

How to deal with sudden onset of permanent Fib and Tachycardia
Taking
Flecainide
and Bisoprolol. This all happened since 18 Dec and my life has changed in days. Very concerned. Anyone else had this.

Is my reasoning reasonable?
Then 18 months ago I was told that aspirin was no longer considered effective against blood clots and was put on Xarelto 15 mg at night, as well as
Flecainide
100mg morning and night, and Metoprolol. Well, 100 mg x 2 of
Flecainide
, plus Metoprolol just about knocked me out.

Heart rhythms. What's normal
Getting on well with meds (
flecainide
50 and bisoprolol) for Fib and tachycardia. However my heart never stays at the same rate for longer than a few seconds. It flips between 60 and 100 constantly, but last night it woke me up and I felt agitated and not right.

Clopidogrel
I am on
flecainide
and clopidogrel. My gp is thinking about changing the clopidogrel for a newer drug. I am not sure this will help. I would welcome any feedback from anyone who has experienced this. Thank you.

General Anaesthetic and AF
I am worried because my AF has been stable for many years with
Flecainide
and I am concerned the anaesthetic will set my AF off.
