Hi all
I've been diagnosed with AF which seems to be kept under control most of the time with 200mg of Flecainide. However, when it does break through it doesn't seem to be like what other people (or the doctors) describe. I am totally knocked out by it and find it hard to stand up without fainting - in fact I feel faint lying flat which is horribly frightening. How do people just live normal lives with this?
Has anyone else had this experince? If so any tips gratefully received as this is becoming diasabling to the extent that I am going to have to give up my highly stressful job.
