Ablation - again!
However, for the last ten days have been getting nearly daily episodes of AF requiring a couple of doses of my PIP (50mg
Flecainide
), something that I have not had to do since my second ablation back in December last year (first ablation was in July).

Ongoing AF
I have gone back onto
Flecainide
and that has kept the HR down to 100 generally but when and how can this get back to normal?

Flecainide maintenance dose
What dose are you on as maybe increasing the amount of
flecainide
would help stop them all together. The good news is that so far, after three months I’ve not had any afib which is great. Thank you in advance.

Recent diagnosis of Paroxysmal AF and underlining Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndrome
I had an over the phone consultation with NHS Cardiologist and he prescribed me Verapamil 120mg slow release and
Flecainide
100mg x 2 daily, due to my on going symptoms. I'm still having symptoms of atrial fluttering and light-headedness.

Anticoagulant?
Echo was normal and he laid out a 3 point plan, I am now on stage 2, 1.25 Bisoporol and
Flecainide
50mg twice daily. The attacks are much less severe and I recover quicker since being on the above however they are still coming every 3-4 weeks.

How much can anti-hypertensives affect GFR?
Also have paroxysmal AF - take
flecainide
and apixaban. GFR 33. Cardio says meds are reducing the GFR - but can't tell me any idea of how much at all. I am terrified that I am so close to ESRD 4. Can anyone help me please - I am close to tears all the time.

Flecainide and Metoprolol Combo Have Stopped Working
I am a 62-year-old male with what had been long-standing but well-controlled atrial fibrillation/flutter (
Flecainide
200mg and Metoprolol 50mg). Quite suddenly these drugs stopped working and I am now in constant Atrial Flutter.

Weight loss & tachycardia
I go in to AF about once every six weeks, usually in my sleep and CV with pip 250mg
flecainide
and 50mg atenolol after about 15 hours. On NY eve 2020 I ate some cheesecake around 11pm and went in to AF 30 min later. AF after eating has never happened before.

Ablation for PVCs²
I've read quite a bit on here that you still may have to take
Flecainide
afterwards anyway, so I'm not sure I fully understand the benefits. Any advice would be gratefully received.

1 Year after ablation...
I take
Flecainide
50mg twice a day. I run 4 times a week totalling about 30miles. Running sometimes triggered AF but not now. Could this be the end????

Post second ablation
Thankfully I have only had two short lived episodes of AF, both resolved after taking
Flecainide
as a PIP. My daily meds now being my anticoagulant-Edoxaban and Bisoprolol 1.25mg. HR and BP both seem to be doing well, at rest HR is reg 62-70 can go up to around 90 on exertion but never much higher.

Stopping Meds
Hi all I have been taking
Flecainide
and Bisoprolol for the last couple of years since having repeated episodes of PAF, I was very overweight with a BMI of 46. I went on a bit of a weight loss kick in January 2020 and have now lost over 8.5 stone.

How much bearing does weight loss have
My question is my GP upped my
flecainide
to 2x 75g per day from 2x 50g don’t know if this has made the difference or it’s just coincidental.

New to flec
Took me off that and started
flecainide
pip still having long episodes of tachycardia. I have been on
flecainide
2xs per day for 2 weeks. I have had 2 episodes of tachycardia lasting over 7 hours. Has medication ever made this worse for anyone? I am exhausted.

Started my medication
Flecainide
, Rivaroxaban and Bisoprolol. So far, so good. I've not had any symptoms while sleeping and just a tiny flutter one day. I haven't noticed any side effects either. My doctor made things difficult by only issuing a prescription for bisoprolol.

Change in nature of Afib after ablation?
I can't tolerate beta blockers or anti arrhythmic drugs daily so take
Flecainide
as PIP. I took 200mg which must have done the job this afternoon. Now feeling quite worn out after the three hours in AF at 160 with a slightly sore chest.
