I have AFib. Hospitalized and diagnosed in January, 2021. As of today, 11/11/21, I have an electrophysiologist as my heart doctor. He just prescribed Flecainide. The warnings and contraindications are truly frightening. Does anyone have any information or experience with this med?
Is flecainide a safe choice for AFib?

There are serious side effects to all medications. If you follow the regime he sets up as well as the EKGs he wants you to do, EP drs are super conscientious about their patients. You have to be that way about your health. You can always get a second opinion but it has to be another EP doc. Good luck and many blessings.
