Hi
I have been taking Fecanide for the past month due to Exercise induced Tachycardia. I have moderate bouts even without exercising.
One thing I've noticed iwhile on this med is my heart is beating a bit faster while sitting still which is somewhat uncomfortable but still okay. I have also noticed hair loss  and fatigue has anyone else experienced hair loss and fatigue from taking this drug?

As to the fatigue... are you ONLY on flecaininde?  I get very fatigues too, BUT I am also on diltiazem, coreg, and lisinopril.  I can't separate them to know what goes with what.

Hi !  I have been taking Flecainide 100mg twice daily for 9 years for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation. Since taking it I have noticed a small amount of hair loss each time I wash my hair but I still have my hair - it hasn't thinned or anything. I did notice fatigue for a while after starting the drug but I think once my body got used to it that passed. Hope all goes well for you.
