This patient support community is for discussions relating to heart rhythm issues, arrhythmia, irregular heartbeat, implanted defibrillators, pacemakers, and tachycardia.
I know that anti-arrhythmics can sometimes cause other arrhythmiasArrhythmias so I guess this is true in my case as well.
My question is: has any one else had experiences like this?
The bigeminy is really getting to me and if the Flec is having this as well as other side effects I would rather not take it.
I don't know about the relationship between Flecainide and bigeminy, but it sounds like you are on the right track. There may be other medications that will help reduce the SVT, such as beta blockers and some "softer" drugs such as propafenone.
