I have been debating whether to try Flecainide, which can have terrible side effects. Your message is making me think I should try Flecainide if the “rescue” med (Lopressor) is no longer doing the job, at any safe dosage. Your input has really helped, thank you Sue. Good luck to you as well.

one more thing... no one should have episodes lasting 12
hours...actually a great time to get to the office, or ER for a 12 gauge EKG......easier said than done, if you are not in a close radius of either... your risk of stroke increases with the time span of the event.
a great choice is to see an electrocardiologist, versus a cardiologist...If you can be referred, you would get much more info about your own problem... as you said, do those episodes cause increased weakening, etc?
