Hi, everyone:

I've read with interest your comments about the relationship between digestive issues and ectopic beats and am wondering if taking an over-the-counter medication for what feels like indigestion, as I've described below, might help.

I've had atrial fibrillation for the past 25 years and have used Flecainide the past 13 years to keep it pretty much under control until 2019 when I started having episodes closer together. Seventeen months ago I had an ablation and that has pretty much rid me of Afib events.
However, following the ablation, I started having ectopic beats a few times a day which were not a problem. About a month ago, however, the ectopic beats came more frequently and started to cluster with 3-5 in a row, then one every 12 to 40 seconds and some of the events lasting 2-4 hours.

The other symptom I'm experience with the ectopic beats is an uneasy feeling in the middle of my abdomen just at the bottom of the rib cage. I always have this queasiness when I have ectopic beats, along with lots of burping, and sometimes when I don't have ectopic beats. I am also experiencing a lot of anxiety around these events.

Finally, these events most often occur starting around 1 pm. A couple of times I almost set me watch by them.

Any and all feedback would be appreciated.

Tim
