Post Ablation advice please??
I have been on
Flecainide
and Diltiazem for several years. Prior to the ablation, I would experience episodes about 2x a week for about 12-24 hours with a heart rate in the 100-120 range.

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’?

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.

flutter not fibrillation
He has recommended an ablation to sort it out and told me to stop taking
Flecainide
which makes me nervous. He says it probably isn’t doing much and could make things worse. Anyone else had this advice?

Dronedarone - thoughts ?
I'm 4 years into my AF journey and as well as 2 unsuccessful ablations I've tried all of the first line AAD's including sotalol, propafenone and
flecainide
. Unfortunately the beast just won't go away and the burden is getting increasingly high.

Apixaban side effects?
(He also doubled my
Flecainide
which is leading to constipation but I guess that’s a different issue 🤦♀️) Anyway - I have started quite suddenly with very painful joints in my fingers which comes and goes and wonder if it might be the Apixaban or whether it is some type of arthritis or gout.

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.

Has the Pulsed Field Ablation technique increased success rate?
Although
Flecainide
50mg bid has kept AF episodes to a much lower frequency, 6 in ‘23, I’d like to hear from a few more of you who have undergone this new procedure. What are the results; is the blanking period shorter; anyone had it done at Royal Bournemouth Hospital?

Enemas for constipation
I am taking
flecainide
and bisoprolol for my afib. The medication is doing fine but I’ve got what I believe to be Pelvic Floor dysfunction. Basically one of my rectum muscles (at exit) is contracting when it should be relaxing.

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
.

Breakthrough Afib episodes while on Flecainide
I’m having afib breaking through my daily portion of 200 mg of
Flecainide
(Tambocor) lately, after a quiet time (2 months) with no Afib at all. Now almost daily and some days even 3 to 4 incidents.

Hallucinations with medication
I’m on
flecainide
(50mg x 2) and bisoprolol (1.25mg x 1). I’ve read bisoprolol can cause this and I do take it a couple of hours before bed. Has anyone experienced this at all and what did you do to alleviate it (if that’s possible).

Sotalol
Sotalol and
Flecainide
. In respect of the Sotalol he prescribed .... " one tablet twice a day". My tablets are 40mg dose. This replaces Bisoprolol and Nebivolol that I have taken at different times in past years gone by. Anyone know if this is a normal dose, anything to be aware of ?

Afib ?
Whereas mine hits high and stays high until I have adenosine (thankfully now controlled by bisoprolol and
flecainide
.) The docs have given her
flecainide
and she cant take beta blockers. She sits relaxed doing nothing and her heart rate can be 70bpm and flies straight up to 120bpm+.

A-Fib meds & Zepbound
Flecainide
& Metoprolol control my A-Fib, & I take a prescription blood thinner too. Does anyone here have personal experience with A-Fib and Zepbound? Please, refrain if you have to make a comment about weight, diets, etc.
