Flecainide - is daily or PIP better?
But I'm just wondering if anyone has tried BOTH methods of taking
Flecainide
, and what worked best for them? Thanks :o)

Two weeks post flutter ablation
Since then I have had AF every other day- relieved with
Flecainide
, until today when the
Flecainide
worked for a few minutes and my heart went into flutter again. I took beta blockers given prior to my ablation and it controlled it in 3 hours.

Normal concern or unnecessary worry?
Fortunately, over the past year the
Flecainide
has been effective at controlling the PVCs within an hour, but now the effect has started to wear off within a few hours, which calls for an extra dose of
Flecainide
-- resulting in an increase in unpleasant side effects.

Calcium channel blockers no good for vagal AF - Dr Sanjay Gupta
He talks about vagally mediated AF - near the end he discusses medication and recommends
Flecainide
but says that calcium channel blockers/antagonists (such as Verapamil) can actually make it worse. Well!

Ectopic storm - Dr Gupta's advice
I gratefully took my
Flecainide
and Bisoprolol this morning and silently thanked Dr Gupta for his wisdom. I hope this can help someone else to cope.

Tachycardia
Hi all, I have known PAF and have been prescribed
flecainide
as PIP. However, when I saw my cardiologist for the first and only time (I have been discharged back to my GP), I forgot to tell him that I have pretty regular tachycardia.

Afib now permanent so would it be safe to stop taking Tambocor (Flecainide)
Hello, For the past 20 years I have been taking Tambocor to control Afib however my heart has now gone into from four days on normal heart beat and six days of afib episodes to having Afib full time with no respite. As the medication has no effect I am thinking of going off the tablets as they are

New here, but not new to AF and ectopic beats.
, and we discussed possible treatments for the AF - ablation or ‘pill in a pocket’ (100mg
Flecainide
). I’ve had two more AF episodes since, the most recent being on Monday 30th October. That left me completely ‘wiped out’ - spent three days on the sofa feeling awful.

Headaches post ablation.
I wonder if it could just be my meds (
flecainide
50mg x2 and apixaban 5mg x2).

Ablate or wait?
Dear All, Following six months in AF and two cardioversions I have spent the last 11 weeks in the fabled domain of NSR, thanks to a daily dose of 2 x 50 mg
flecainide
.

Pausing Pulse
I am taking 100mg
Flecainide
daily and 2.5mg Bisoprolol. When my heart seems to pause there is a sort of tremor before it starts again. So far I have never felt ill with it, just scared, and I have experienced it before, but it seems to be the main feature of my latest heart incident.

Migraine
My GP checked me out and diagnosed migraine (nothing more sinister I was happy to find) but struggled with suitable medication that won't interfere with my usual Rivoxaban, Bisoprolol and
Flecainide
.

Does Flecainide reduce your Magnesium levels
This issue may be important to some as I suspect many are on
Flecainide
but don't take Mg supplement, which could explain why for some
Flecainide
only seems to work for a time because the Flec whilst dealing with the immediate AF problem could actually at the same time be reducing Mg and building a requirement

verapamil
I was at the ER a couple of days ago with tachycardia that lasted almost four hours. 100ml of
Flecainide
didn't stop it so they did a chemical cardioversion and it stopped it straight away.

Ectopic beats
They stopped the
flecainide
I had been on for years and put me on 100mg Atenolol. This slowed by hear rate to about 50. In the last week or so I have had constant ventricular ectopic. I have suffered with them since 1980. I have a drink problem and have not touched a drop in 7 weeks.

New to the site and would like experiences of anticoagulants
I was on twice daily
flecainide
which seemed to be quite effective but recently the attacks have been coming much more frequently and for longer. I am a diet controlled diabetic as well. I have recently been told I need to go onto anticoagulants and have some information.
