A member asked:

I was taking flecainide 100mg twice daily for 3yrs and was doing very well. my regular cardiologist retired and my new cardiologist took me off flecai?

Flecainide: Ask your new Doctor why. I suspect the doctor explained it. Flecainide can have side effects in some people and the doctor may have felt you were at risk for them.
