An Experiment! Update
Apixaban and
Flecainide
. I was getting very concerned that my heart was getting so much worse with almost continual acrobatics and discomfort, it was a vicious cycle of palpitations (oh no, I'm going into AF any minute) better take another
flecainide
... more palpitations and tachycardia etc.

Ectopics after ablation
My cardio advised that it would not be sensible to take
flecainide
(300 mg) the following day and if it continued head to hospital. Thought I’d provide an update

3 weeks post ablation & back at work
I feel just as fit as I did before the ablation (AF free since starting
Flecainide
in Sept) but am pacing myself re resuming activities because of all I have read on this site.

Verapamil,Lisinopril and Flecainide
Also, is it safe to take
Flecainide
with Verapamil, as it has a contraindication in the product leaflet?

Update after cryo ablation 11 days ago
During the ablation I was cardioverted with a shot of
flecainide
and that's the last time I had an episode. Time will tell! I've been taking things slowly and gradually building up to doing more.

AF - heart ablation
I had my heart ablation 3 weeks ago after suffering with AF for 2 years I go back to the cardiologist on the 30th of this month I know I will be reducing my
Flecainide
and beta blocker that’s going to be scary in it self but that’s not my question.

Flecainide PIP - how often
Hi - I have the Flec as PIP but I felt very unwell with an episode on Sunday so went to hospital. I had 200 flec. I am popping in and out again but feel okay so just want to take another 200 mg but wondering if it’s too soon after yesterday’s dose ? Any advice ? Thanks

Flecaininde - All stop or gradual reduction?
Post ablation
flecainide
: all-stop or gradual reduction. I’ve done some reading on this and other forums and it seems like different doctors can be at odds on this. Anyone know if there is any reasoning to one vs. the other? Thanks Jafib

Flecainide & ECGs
Would like to know if any of you who are on
Flecainide
and your cardiologist or GP recommends an annual ECG. I am on 200mgs/day Flec and neither my GP or Cardio seem to be bothered about an annual ECG to check the drug is not re-modelling my heart or for any other reason. Thanks a lot

AF when I have virus
A dose of 300mg of
flecainide
has cardioverted me once before. I have no other heart problems and normal blood pressure. I wonder if anyone else gets this gathering storm type situation where Ill health leads to AF and if they’ve found a way to manage it?

What`s a high heart rate in your opinion ?
I was taking bisoprolol 2.5mg and
flecainide
100mg daily. He just stopped my bisoprolol and doubled the
flecainide
to 200mg a day. All well and good ? Not really. I expressed my concern about just stopping bisoprolol as my HR might go up - it has !

Ablation next week!
I'm hoping it's going to be a success and can't begin to imagine a life without
flecainide
and AF! I'd like to say thanks to all on this forum.

Self identifying type of arrhythmias
I am now off
flecainide
for 1.5 weeks and have had three episodes in that time, always converting on my own in 1 to 3 hours. The one that I have felt the most often over the years consists of a strong beat followed by a series of weaker but fast smaller beats, then repeat.

Question for those with multiple AF ablation experience
I had stopped taking my
flecainide
3 days before the procedure and was in full blown afib when they put me under. They had me back on the flec before I left the hospital.

Im NEW! Worried sick after seeing consultant
Or maybe the weights, I was also taking
Flecainide
at the time of my ECG and he said sometimes that can do funny things to it. I know I need a lifestyle change on the weight/blood pressure side. I have lost 12lbs since I have seen him just over a week ago.

Flecainide- Time to work? Sinus rhythm!
How long does 100mg
flecainide
take to convert to sinus rhythm once afib has started? Just an idea would be great so I know what to expect if I have an episode. This is new to me. Thanks!

Hello - new here
I`m on the usual suspects - Bisoprolol / Dabigatran and just started on
Flecainide
. I`m having my third cardioversion in a month or so (hence the
Flecainide
to help me stay in sinus aferwards). I`m in a-fib all the time until they 'spark' me again.

After AV node ablation and pacemaker implant.
He is going to cardiovert me with
Flecainide
on board to see if he can restore sinus rhythm. As I am now in waters that I know nothing about I have to go along with his suggestion but did not think it was possible to do this?

How many ectopics is too many
I was diagnosed with AF in 2007 but had ectopic beats for years before that and still have them now even though my AF is controlled by
Flecainide
and Bisoprolol . I have an active job and during the day don't always notice the ectopic beats but once I relax they come on with a vengeance.
