Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Abnormal heart rhythm could be due to the atrial or ventricular or the dysfunction of the electrical circuit of the heart.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Tab Flecainide is fine and will be effective in controlling the abnormal rhythm. You can add an anti-coagulant to reduce the risk of clot formation. Also, a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator could be tried to reduce dependence on medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sanskriti Jawa
