Hi everyone❤️
Hi everyone ❤️ just wanted to ask one question and I will make it short :) I am having my 4 ablation now this Tuesday and having to stop my
flecainide
now today as in 5 days prior to the procedure. I blame this on my AF but I can’t remember having done that for so many days before?

Afib triggered by sitting and laying down
Currently on
Flecainide
/metopralol. Max dose of flec. They now want to put me on Amio or ticosyn. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Afib caused by low heart rate? Ectopics when exercising.
I stopped taking the
Flecainide
2 weeks ago. This morning, on waking, my heart rate was 56 and I was in Afib for the first time in 3 weeks. 3 hours later my heart rate is now 77bpm and the Afib has disappeared. Still not taking
Flecainide
.

Post ablation follow-up
Just wondered when this usually occurs.Had an ablation mid August’23, nothing said about stopping
Flecainide
nor a follow up appointment. Thought (and I don’t know why!) follow up would be after 3 months , maybe it’s 6 months? Wondering what others experiences are.

I’ve tried to get in touch with my cardiologist PA to ask what dose PIP
Flecainide
to take, Today I’ve taken 100mg then 2 hours later another 50mg no resolution yet does that sound right? It’s 2.30pm and not sure what dose to take tonight?

Flecainide
I’ve been prescribed
Flecainide
(1x50mg tablet followed by another an hour later.) I’m. Im not sure whether to take a higher dose and when in the day to take them. Would really welcome any advice. Has this drug helped anyone go back to NSR? How long did it take?

2.5 weeks post ablation problems
Ten years later, afib emerged and was managed with
flecainide
and atenolol for 2.5 years. Recently had ablation due to increased afib frequency.

Statins
I have AF but it’s controlled so far with daily
flecainide
and bisoprolol. I get a three monthly blood test for iron overload but this week the doctor advised me to get a cholesterol blood test as well.

Advice please - feeling worried
My EP is now saying I am not a suitable patient for a daily dose of
Flecainide
due to Calcium score and that if the AF becomes too intrusive I could be considered for Dronedarone. He has upped my statin from 5mg to 10mg.

What s happening in our NHS ?- All the shortages.
Sleeping tablets all change - but Amiodarone matters. quite toxic but works and I don't like the alternatives,
Flecainide
for example. What next?

Cardiac issues
Next, on 7 May I have a 7day Holter Monitor fitted, then at a later date I have a cardiac CT Scan - which will be the start point for different medication, namely, Sotalol 40mg and
Flecainide
.... BUT .... HERE'S THE RUB - I must have the CT Scan first before going onto Flec.

So fed up
Since then I have been on
Flecainide
50g morning and night and bisopropol 2.5 morning and night. I don’t feel my heart as much but my Apple Watch is showing an average of 68% AF over the last 6 weeks. It’s really getting me down.

what on earth am i supposed to do...cant have anti arrhythmia meds?
The thing is I had the bad reaction to
Flecainide
mainly because it was given me while i had a 75% blocked coronary artery which was bound to trigger an adverse reaction. I now had a stent fitted so blocked artery is sorted.

Taking Flecainide 50g twice a day with Apixaban 5mg Twice a day and Soltalol 40mg twice a day
I am scared to take the
Flecainide
without asking some questions first. Can all of these medicines be taken together and are there side-effects. Kind Regards Andrew 😞

flecainide question
He has asked me to stop taking
Flecainide
because it’s likely ‘ contributing to my arrhythmia. Is this an example of how one person’s medication is another person’s ‘poison’?
