Re: Flecanide - 6 years ago
I have dropped from 100 2x/day to 50mg 2x/day. I think I can tolerate that OK. Hopefully I can drop it altogether down the road soonby Pokey - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Flecanide - 6 years ago
Ok thanks. Does Flecanaide cause insomnia? I’ve read various “opinions” on this.by Pokey - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Diltiazem v Flecainide - 6 years ago
Neither has the EP or my regular cardiologist has taken the time to share with what expect going forward from having being diagnosed with AfiB. They haven’t said this is what life may look like, what to worry about, what not to worry. Thus far it scares the hell out of me. I also have mitral valve prolapse but my cardio says hes pretty my valve is not causing my AFib since all my numbers on thatby Pokey - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Diltiazem v Flecainide - 6 years ago
Carey the ablation was 4/17 and was in the right atrium for AFlutter. During the ablation the EP was able to induce AFib on the left side as I understand very easily just with placing the catheter in the right atrium. He did the right ablation only, converted me out of AFib and in recovery told me to start Flecanaide and stop the diltiazem but stay on Bystolic. My regular cardio said Monday I cby Pokey - AFIBBERS FORUM

Diltiazem v Flecainide - 6 years ago
Being a newbie to AFib and the drugs for it I have a question. When I went I. The hospital back in March for AFlutter I was put on diltiazem. I was already on Bystolic for HBP. The diltiazem did a great job bringing my rate down and the flutter stopped. Since then I had ablation for the flutter and it was discovered I had easily induced AFib. My EP prescribed stopping the diltiazem and startingby Pokey - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Flecanide - 6 years ago
Hello Afibbers. I’m new here and new to AFib. I’m 71 and was recently diagnosed with AFlutter in March for which I had an ablation April 17. Before the ablation I was on 180mg of Diltiazem and 2.5 mg of Bystolic. I’ve been on Bystolic for 10 years for HBP. Only beta blocker I can tolerate. When I had the atrial ablation for flutter the EP was able to easily induce AFib. So as a result I was toldby Pokey - AFIBBERS FORUM
