Is my case out of the ordinary but if one gets regular 70s hr and then high hr flutter which quickly resolved and converts back to the baseline slower 70-80s hr—isn’t there a risk of a BB in crashing one’s hr once flutter converts to a then lower than 70 hr because of the effects of a BB is kicking in??

No, I didn't. Flecainide is a rhythm control drug, not rate control. Beta blockers and diltiazem are the rate control drugs, so I mentioned two.

Never heard of it happening, but it would seem to me it's a good idea to take a drug before you need it to find out how it affects you. Better to find out it will crash your BP in the doctor's office than on that vacation you planned for two years.

Thanks Carey! Yes, it’s a normal sinus rhythm. It’s almost always about 165 bpm without fail.
...
If it would be an easy ablation and I could knock out this last nagging problem, I’d be all for it.
