i've been on flecainide for a year now and after several months started having pvc's. the number has increased over the months from about 785 daily to begin with and graduated now to 1600 per day. my ep seems to think it's safe to stay on the flec and i would love to hear your medical opinion. i was put on the flec last octover for almost daily bouts of afib.

As long as you have a recent negative stress test which is negative and as long as the PVCs are single and not in couples or triplets or organizing in any way I think it is safe.
