After this event my cardiologist advised completely discontinuing flecainide as it could cause VT if used after a heart attack (which she said I had had).

I have both a cardiologist and an EP and they both said the same thing. Their only other options for me are either tikosyn (even more dangerous than flec) or cardiac ablation (success rate only about 60% and 4 hour operation or so).

I get that flec can be dangerous after a heart attack but according to the research I have done that is true only when there is structural heart disease which I didn't show
