Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was started on Toprol 2 months ago. Saw an electrophysiologist who Started Flecainide 100 mg bid 2 days ago for pvc s relTed to mitral valve prolapse. Feeling exhausted and nauseated. Pulse rate has been in the fifties all day. I think I am going to stop it till I can get in on Monday to see my cardiologist.
The nausea and the other symptoms are common side effects of Flecainide and will recover soon. Initially when this medicine is started such adverse effects are noticed but later on resolve on its own. So no need to worry and continue the medicine.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
