A member asked:
Ive begun using omeprazole and went into af. i took flecainide/bisopresol. ive suddenly gained 5lbs in 3 days. i was dieting and lost 1.5 stone - on exact same diet gained 5lbs. no swollen ankles. one drugs must be the cause. which one more likely?

Flecainide is likely the culprit. A 5 pound gain is 3 days is rarely a true weight gain but more likely a fluid gain although you have not observed ankle edema yet. Good luck.
