Tingling/trembling with Flecainide
October 23, 2003 06:30PM
I've been taking Flecainide daily for a few years to prevent recurrences of AF. For the last few months, I've noticed tingling in my legs and sometimes in other parts of the body. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it anxiety or is it the flecainide?

Yes, I also experience tingling, shaking, and trembling on Flecainide. I notice it in my hands, in particular. I've been taking it since July 2003. It does help restore me to NSR sometimes, but the big picture is that it's not an effective medicine for me. SO...I'm scheduled for an ablation on November 17. Hopefully, that will mean NO MORE DRUGS! (Including Flecainide!) I also experience "itching" over my whole body, and not sure if it's the Flecainide or the Coumadin.

I also get the tingling/pickiness thing in my hands and feet, but I am not on flecainide. I take a calcium channel blocker and a pill for high blood pressure. Would either of these cause these symptoms?
