I’ve been on Flecainide since 2019, it keeps me out of afib and svts. It’s my fifth meditation in this afib journey, 4 ablations in now. Still have to take meds even so! No side effects w Flecainide or metoprolol to keep my heart rate down. Even got lowered two years ago from 100mg twice a day to 50mg twice. I hope it keeps working, so far my heart’s “plumbing” is great it’s just the “electrical” that is the problem. I understand you should not take Flecainide if you have heart disease, so they keep a close eye on that.
Best of luck to you, none of this is fun stuff!

Just wondering if you had temporary benefit from the ablations, how far apart they were, and whether you're currently free of AF.
Had a cardioversion @24.12, which worked until a few weeks ago. Will be having another @25.09. Have the impression that EP doc feels likelihood of success with ablation would be lower than average because of some atrial enlargement.
