Experiences with

Flecainide

, but thankfully once I managed to contact my EP and following a further 24hr holter and BP monitoring he told me that all the results looked normal and that I was in NSR, so advised me to stop taking my maintenance dose of Flecainide ( 50mgs x2 daily), and to email him the outcomes in 10 days time.

For now, they are treating me with increased flecainide and metoprolol and I have an appointment with my EP in a month. The nurse practitioner mentioned seeing a cardiac surgeon but was somewhat vague when I pressed her further about this.

After that, my electro-physiologist increased my Flecainide from 100 mg twice a day, to 150 mg twice a day but my other meds (metoprolol extended release) remained the same.

He has also given me 100mg of flecainide to take twice a day. I already have 5mg of biscoprolol and 10mg of Apixiban. If this knocks me back to normal rhythm he seems to think I will be able to lose all medication. The journey continues.

On 200 mgs of flecainide daily with an extra 50 mgs If uncontrollable. Also 3.75 mgs of bisoprolol. Any advice on upcoming ablation and in particular reducing bisoprolol afterwards would be greatly appreciated!! Bisoprolol stinks ! Look forward to hearing from you, Goose

I was previously suffering from PAF and was on 1.25 mg bisoprolol. Past 6 weeks I’ve been in persistent AF and cardiologist has increased bisoprolol to 5mg and I’m starting on 50mg x 2 of flec from tomorrow and booked in for a cardioversion in 4 weeks. Any advice from anyone? Obviously very nervous about

My question please is, is there anyone with Lone PAF, otherwise healthy and with AF well controlled on Flecainide for several years where this has occurred?

So I am now on flecainide and Bisoprolol for AF and SVT. I have an Apple Watch that does my ECGs which my cardiologist has the results from. I have been experiencing strange beats that make me feel a bit funny. I have attached a picture just wondering wether anyone knows what it might be.

has told me to stop the amiadarone - I'm to take flecainide if necessary as a Pill-in-the-Pocket. I'm to stay on the Apixaban for another three months, just in case and then they will review that.

Prior to that I was unable to tolerate taking flecainide. A couple of weeks ago when I saw my cardio he said that I should try taking it again when I went into a fib. A few days ago I took one at the onset of afib. Six hours later I was finally in sinus rhythm.

During those years I had minimal AF episodes then in 2016 the episodes increased and I was switched FLECAINIDE 50 mg twice a day with BISOPROLOL 2.5 one daily, in addition I take RIVAROXABAN.

I've read that Flecainide can often work for years, and beta blockers, too. I take them both and a blood thinner. At this point, I don't seem to have any "side effects" of taking these meds.

Although my heart rate has increased occasionally since my afib diagnosis, it usually settles back to normal with an extra dose of flecainide but this tactic hasn't worked this time. I'm wondering if I'm just having a stubborn episode or if the Xarelto is causing this increased rate.

I have started taking 2 x 50mg flecainide after being on bisoprolol for a year. I have been taking for 4 days but feel terrible. Is this common when starting these meds.

I have tried Flecainide but it gave me very bad eczema; and Propafenone but it was pro-arrhythmic. I take other meds for hypertension and hyperlipidemia, Apixaban as a blood thinner and Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 to keep Homocysteine (an amino acid) levels down.

I was on Flecainide as a pill in the pocket which shortened the attacks but my EP says it has changed the T waves on my ecg. So I can’t take it any more. On average I get attacks every 4 weeks but this last attack lasted 21 hours. So I have elected to have an ablation.

Caveat: This is only my personal experience of someone 67yo in otherwise good health with just Lone PAF and only on Flecainide, in case it helps someone else out there. Check with your medical team BEFORE any action if you have complex heart, respiratory or other health issues.

Was prescribed 50mg Flecainide twice a day. It s not working now, started feeling the fast/extra hard beats again. I have an appetite my EP next week. Should I agree to increase the dose of flecainide (which is what I think he'll suggest) or ask to try beta blockers?

My oxygen levels are always around 98% and no cough to speak of other than the occasional tickle and staying out of AF (touch wood) with now one a day Flecainide as opposed to two. Ablation was nearly two years ago, cardioversion two years in October.

I am on Eliquis, Metoprolol and Flecainide. I recently started having hot flashes, mainly at night and anxiety. I am 64 female. Anyone else experience this?
