I have been taking 100 mg of flecainide twice a day with 50 mg of metropolol for 2 years after my paroxymal AF resulted in a TIA. The AF is much better but the concern is my heart rate is now as low as 44 when resting and 75-80 when exercising. Normal heart rate is 50 -55.
Can flecainide result in too low a heart rate?

Five months ago, I found I had AFlib. You don't say if you are on blood thinners. I was put on Warfrain. Also, Metoprolol 25 mg twice day. This is for the AFlib and high blood pressure. I limit Vit K foods and take a multi vit and mineral that does not have vit K. Iam doing great. Hardly know I have AFlib. Good Luck. I just found this site. If you have any more questions,just post. Hope I can help.
