question: I am 64 years of age. Height = 5ft 10in Weight = 125lbs. I was first diagnosed with lone atrial fibrillation in 1996 and prescribed a dosage of Flecainide Acetate at 50 mg twice daily. My episodes of Atrial Fibrillation were extremely rare and usually short in duration. The Flecainide did not prevent them entirely. Recently I changed my GP who examined both me and my complete medical history. He was extremely surprised that I had been continuously prescribed the medication without review and advised me to stop taking the medication immediately as he did not feel my condition justified continued use. This was one moth ago and I have suffered no symptoms. I am also very health conscious and eat a very healthy vegetarian diet. I am non smoking and do not drink alchohol (apart from a glass of wine with some meals). I run between 30 - 40 miles a week (have done since my teenage years) and also brisk walk with my wife several times a week. What do you advise about stopping taking the Flecainide Acetate?
