I would do more research on Flecidine before you want to go on it .
Are you on blood thinner for A - fib ?
My sister had had it 8 years and finally did ablation w/ loop recorder last Sept (2023).
She was on a lot of meds for High BP / cholesterol and A fib that needed to be tweaked through the years.
Then they weren’t helping as much so ablation did .
Well 5 weeks ago out of no where. She was getting up after reading a book in bed and went yo the ground !
She had a stroke and was rushed to hospital 🏥. Numbness and inability to use left arm and leg .
Her face and speech were not affected. She spent a 5 days in ICU and 10 in hospital with PT & OT .
She’s been home doing PT & OT and has gone from not being able to stand on her own to walker to cane already. The leg 🦵 is taking longer than arm .
Her BP was super high like yours went to and caused walnut size bleed 🩸 in brain ( thus the moderate stroke ).
She’s on all the right meds and it still happened!
Me , I have 7 horrendous chronic gastrointestinal disorders that are debilitating daily and PVC’s on and off most of my life . Had 2 / 2 hr incidents of A fib ( I feel everything when it comes to heart ♥️), abd that was so much different than PVCs or PAC’s .
I was given pill in pocket Flecidine but only took it once . I read if you are in A-fib you don’t want to take that drug . Can make it worse.
My BMP went to 156 top end .
Thank God it’s only happened 2-3 x in 2 years. My PVC’s I take magnesium and Q-10 too as I get them .
My body can barely handle food . I’m always in distress.
I’m 63 just recently and have run the gamut of Dr’s and tests and supplements and everything.
It’s so hard to live this way . I can barely even leave my house now .
I look young for age but feel 90 .
No hope in sight and I’m only on anti anxiety med and Ambien ( lots of Pepto) .
It’s getting so much worse too .
I’m starving all day but blowing up if I eat something even small ( always healthy). I deep wet belch over 700-plus x a day .
Life is really hard and getting to wits end .
