I think I am have been misdiagnosed

The end of June I got a watchman. The TEE was done 2 weeks ago, I have seen the results. Everything is healed, no issues, heart is normal, valves etc. normal normal normal.

I am going to ask the EP to take me off plavix, flecainide and metoprolol I have zero risk factors for blood clot after getting the watchman. So, let’s see if my symptoms of heart failure disappear with these drugs. Does that sounds like a reasonable suggestion….or a lunatic patient ?

Sounds reasonable to me and @gloaming's suggestion to withdraw one medication at a time seems prudent. If you tell your cardiologist that you want to try this, maybe they can give guidance on the best order, or a pharmacist can (I think pharmacists are underused!) but of course stay in touch with the doctor and do any monitoring necessary.

I do always remember what @gloaming said, that ventricular arrhythmias are the ones that are most dangerous.

Hope you have good results!
