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!

‘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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

heart rate almost flat lining during exercise
none worked well so back on Bisoporol and recently increased the dose to 2.5mg twice daily and upped the
flecainide
to 100mg twice daily after many discussions with the nurses.

My 40 day post-ablation update
Looking forward to getting off the
Flecainide
after my 90 days and hoping to feel even better then.

Afib worse after ablation
I had an ablation ten days ago and, notwithstanding the fact that I get 100 mg
flecainide
and 2.5 mg bisoprolole twice a day, after ablation each night as soon as I get in bed and relax Afib starts for 9 or 10 hours, each single night.

I therefore started Varapamil again, to which
Flecainide
was added when symptoms increased in frequency and duration.

Am I talking out the back of my head?
Even though I’ve never had
Flecainide
side effects before could the 5 years of another toxic drug have done something to my tolerance of
Flecainide
now that it has been stopped? or am I barking up the wrong tree? Many thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Any thoughts?
I know I`m lucky in one way in that I don`t feel anything but after doing ok on Zemtard ( diltiazem), my Cardio says maybe going onto
flecainide
in the future.
