Can Flecainide Cause Low BP Below Normal?
my dr. has increased my flecainide from 50 mg to 100 mg (twice a day) My concern is that my blood pressure runs low ( 95/54, to 113/64 average) however my heart rate is mid 80 s at rest to 93. I know he is trying to get my heart rate down but won t this lower my bp even lower?

hello there
I understand your concern
Flecainide is going to touch your heart rate more than your blood pressure. so there are very less chances of hypotension. but I'm sure your doctor has your best interest in mind and will be cautious..
hope that helps
