Maybe this is obvious to people, but when I had unconrolled AFib, I also slept very poorly and was always tired. Then, after going on Flecainide and it controlling the AFib, I've been sleeping soundly and waking up refreshed. Last week I had one severe AFib episode, due to having missed my morning dose of Flecainide, which started at around 5pm, and lasted through late morning the following day (it stopped about 2 hours after I had my morning Flecainide dose), and that night I barely slept at all. I now know that I can't be missing Flecainide doses, since I had that one very bad experience from missing one (although I missed other morning doses with no ill effects). What's interesting was that the Afib started without warning (I wasn't having ectopics or anything beforehand). It started when I was doing my workout, and started while I was doing a 1-minute jump rope (and I was feeling really strong and jumping really fast when it started). I would expect it is common to have insomnia while in AFib. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,134558,134558#msg-134558 Sat, 26 Sep 2026 14:10:24 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,134558,134605#msg-134605 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,134558,134605#msg-134605

Before my ablation last month, I had severe insomnia. After the ablation, I am sleeping like a baby, and like you, I am much more refreshed the next morning.]]> gehauser AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 18 Nov 2012 13:02:39 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,134558,134558#msg-134558 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,134558,134558#msg-134558
