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.

Feeling a little lost 💔
So I was sent home with 50MG
flecainide
BD Verapamil 240mg SR daily And xarelto 20mg daily. Now I'm awaiting an ablation but the side effects of the meds are pretty much wiping me out, insomnia, nausea, tight chest. I've asked to reside the
flecainide
and I'm awaiting a call from my EP.

Beware of cold and flu remedies if you have AFIB
I had AFIB for several months and finally got back into sinus rhythm with the help of
Flecainide
....ok for nearly a year now. I picked up a bad cold last week and took Boots Ultra Cold and Flu relief (same ingredients as Lemsip etc).

Will my ablation go ahead if I am in AF?
I have come off my usual twice daily dose of 100mg
flecainide
in preparation for my ablation, due to take place at St Tomas' this Friday and have gone into fast AF. Does anyone know if they will go ahead if I am still in AF on Friday? Many thanks

Flecainide
I have been taking
Flecainide
for about 30 years, gradually ramping up the dosage from an initial 50mg to now I'm at 300mg daily and believe it's now becoming ineffective. However, I have experienced no side effects whatsoever and for me it's been the "perfect " drug.

Ablation - all done and dusted 😁
Allowed to stop taking
Flecainide
(just keep in reserve as pip) but continue with bisoprolol for the next few months. Already back on my rivaroxaban.

Switching meds
My EP (who prescribed it and the
Flecainide
) can't get me in for 3+ weeks, the cardiologist for 2+ weeks (and he won't mess with meds he didn't prescribe). I can't see myself waiting on this, I feel like I'm dying half the time.

Sotalol and Asthma
Unable to sleep but exhausted shortness of breath and very asthmatic I understand
Flecainide
can also induce asthma? Anyone have any experience with Betapsce or Tambocor? He has used Amiodarone in the past but had thyroid issues... Thanks for any suggestions, very glad I found this site

Worried
I've been on
Flecainide
in the past and that worked for a while but was taken off it. I'm on Verapamill 240mg and Ramiprill. Has anyone experienced this ? what shall I expect. Any advise would be very welcome. Thanks

Flecainide got a big eye roll from a local Dr. at a clinic..
I have been taking
Flecainide
for 18 years and have had no side affects... However when I went to a local clinic for a urinary tract infection the Dr. made a serious face when I mentioned
Flecainide
and said it is not a good thing to be on that drug for so long....

Coming off flecainide
Has anyone else experienced a bad time coming off
Flecainide
? My gp has now prescribed
Flecainide
Liquid, which seems to be for children, so that I can reduce the dose more accurately. Has anyone else tried this?

Side Effects
The Doc put me on
Flecainide
(50 mg. 2x day) for racing heart beat. I was wondering if this med could be causing this and how long is it safe to stay on this? Any side effects? Also, when I have extreme problem breathing, is it safe to take my inhaler (cause I know this speeds the heart up)?

Feeling Toxic?
Ever since being put on
Flecainide
, Metoprolol and Xarelto a little over a year ago I have not felt like myself. At the risk of being written-off as too dramatic I will say that if asked how I am feeling I would have to use the word "toxic".
