Anyone taking Flecainide or Multag for arrhythmias?

Please let your pharmacist know of your problem. Do not abruptly end the Rx. You could have major side effects.
There is no cure for afib, only controlling the symptoms.

It may be just semantics I know, but there are many cases where the symptoms of AFIB have been controlled permanently. I would call that a cure, No? I believe it is important that patients believe that with the appropriate medical interventions and lifestyle changes, that their AFIB can be cured.

Was it helping at 50 mg a day ( twice a day )?
Why did he up it ?
I know someone who takes that med but as needed when her pvcs kick up .
My sister takes Eloquis for her A- Fib . Are you on that or anything similar ( used to give Coumadin for A fib ).
She also takes BP meds and I think beta blocker of some kind .
Def talk to your Dr and just go back to the dose you were taking ?

I agree. The problem is finding an electrophysiologist that thinks beyond medication and is open to lifestyle changes, triggers and conservative solutions. I’m lucky if I get 5 minutes with mine and he’s considered one of the top in our area. I’m reading two books, “The Patient’s survival guide” by Edward Morgan Jr. and “The Afib Cure.” Looking for a second opinion, while making some lifestyle changes. My triggers are definitely caffeine and red wine.

Hi Judy,
Your lucky the first time I went to my EP the talk went right to an ablation they just skipped the med part.
I do not want an ablation and made that clear to them so now they know where I’m coming from.

I had four afib attacks in 3 months that took me to the emergency room. Before that, I had a cardio inversion from an afib attack in 2017 that lasted 3 days. I stopped taking any medication 6 weeks after the attack in 2017. I have low BP so traditional medication was crashing me. I did have an ablation on September 30th and have had 3 more afib attacks about 2 months apart that resolved after about 20 minutes after I took an additional 50 mg of flecainide. ( I currently take eliquis and 50 mgs 2xs a Day.) I guess you would say it’s “under control” but I think it should be better. I’m going to go ahead and get the meditronic linq inserted to monitor what might be going on even though I wore a heart monitor for a month and had no attacks. I had just about convinced myself to go off meds when it happened again. A glass of red wine three nights in a row with dark chocolate and a cappuccino in the afternoon? I don’t know.. Was the ablation necessary? Probably,. I can’t second guess myself. In addition I had a pretty stressful summer that possibly triggered the four attacks. I love a good red wine, but it’s not for me to love anymore.🙃 Also prayer has considerably lowered my anxiety and stress level. My best medicine.

I too have low heart rate always told I have an athletic heart very heavy into working out etc.
I always say A-Fib is evil and insidious you never know when its going to pop.
I wrote a post in March or April titled no rhyme or reason, It pretty much explains my frustrations about the unpredictability.Perhaps you might be able to go back and read it.
Good luck to you!!
