A cautionary Flecainide tale
He's suggested staying on the Bisoprolol and using 100mg
Flecainide
as a PIP if I go into AFib and it doesn't stop quickly.

Not in AF but so Breathless
Since then my GP has let me come off the Diltiazem which had some unpleasant side effects but I am still on
Flecainide
50mg twice daiy and Edoxoban. I bought a Kardia and keep a close check on heart rate etc. It is always between 70-85.

Post Ablation
I've been told to keep on my medication but stop the
flecainide
in 6 weeks, I'll then have a review after 12 weeks to discuss my progress.

Live with AF or try to revert
Was told I could try
Flecainide
but was up to me no rush. Got the tablets then strangely I went into normal rhythm that evening so didn't take. Had 10 days in normal rhythm then went back in AF and have been in now for 24 days. My dilemma is I feel really well now.

Second Successful Ablation with Dr. Natale
The biggest miracle of all was that when I went off of
Flecainide
five days before surgery, nothing happened and I stayed in sinus rhythm.

The impact of Flecainide on HR during exercise.
I have come across the below research paper that established in their sample, that the max HR achieved during exercise for those on
Flecainide
was 12% of theoretical Max HR lower than those not on
Flecainide
. Looks like my suspicions have been confirmed.

‘When or if’ to go to A&E with AF episode and other general moans!
I use
flecainide
as ‘pill in pocket’ and so far this has worked. Since diagnosis I’ve only seen a cardiologist once shortly after my first episode and that was only because a clinician friend asked her colleague to see me as absolutely NO follow up has ever been forthcoming.

Berberine - does anyone have experience of taking this for PAF?
On one of the videos I tripped across a comment where a chap said he had to stop taking
Flecainide
because of the adverse side effects (that’s me too!) and had started taking berberine. Surprisingly, and to his delight, the berberine put him into constant SNR - with NO side effects!

AF episode on holiday. Advice needed please
Last night out of the blue I started an episode of AF and took 50mg
flecainide
and 2.5 mg bisoprolol but 6 hours later I am still in AF. Incidentally this is my first episode since 2013. I don’t know what to do as I am worried about flying back to UK tomorrow on a 4 hour flight.

Ablation Date
Since late October and since a medication change (bisoprolol reduced from 2.5mg to 1.25mg and a maintenance dose of
flecainide
50mg twice per day instead of 100mg PIP) I haven't had an episode of AF.

Going in For Second Ablation
Is anybody else on
Flecainide
100 or more for a prolonged period? Is that the highest dose? Thanks all for your insight.

Anticoagulants
My husband, aged 74, has had ectopic heartbeats and SVTs for 30+ years and has taken
Flecainide
100mg twice a day for that. He has normal blood pressure with a slightly low diastolic reading - about 50-ish and 1st degree heart block.

Verapamil alone for Afib
I took my first dose last night but forgot my
Flecainide
and woke up in normal rhythm this morning for the first time in over a month. Out of curiosity, I've not taken my morning
Flecainide
dose today and remained in normal rhythm all day.

Trust your doctors, but also don't hesitate to double check them if you feel you should
Then I did some research on it, and I felt I confirmed I should be hesitant, so I refused
flecainide
, twice. Fast forward a year or so, when I asked my new EP if I should try
flecainide
just this past week, he told me absolutely not.

PVCs, PAF and ablation
I also have had PAF since 2003 and on PIP (200 mg
flecainide
plus 1.25 bisoprolol). Haven’t had any episodes for about 12 months but used to have 3-4 episodes a year lasting up to 38 hours. With AF you never know when an episode starts.
