Since i now have a new incident of afib is it worth asking cardiologist for Flec? do most people find it converts them to SR ?

Loading dose of Flec as pill in pocket works for me (300 mg if weight > 70 kg, 200 mg if weight <= 70kg or 154 pounds). Converts me in an hour or less.

I convert in less then an hour with 200mg of flec with a bb 1/2 before.
1st dozage was in a hospital setting to see if I had any side effects.

Thanks ... I think having it as a helpo to convert will be uselful . First time in 2 years for AFIB and ends up being my longest one at 32 hours

btw what is "bb" Jake

David,

"bb" is beta blocker. It is used to slow the heart rate during an episode. It also helps the flec do its job better to convert to NSR.
