AMIODARONE HYDROCHLORIDE vs Flecainide

All 150 mg in 3 ml

ACLS class is mind numbingly boring. Our class was taught by two EMTs who you could tell had a ton of experience in the real world but had no experience caring for patients in a hospital. The rest of the class were filled with people who you just KNOW will not be running a code ever in their life. M

37m 5’7 feet tall 165 pounds No medications I have paroxysmal afib with RVR with a few episodes per year. Had a very jarring experience at the ER and my primary care doctor found out about it and got very angry. Looking to see if anyone has heard of cardioversions without any sedation During an

Hey all! I had my ablation done today. I wanted to share my experience with you all since I’m a frequent poster and had major, major anxiety going into it. For context, I had a 14.7% PVC burden managed by Flecainide. Because I didn’t want to have to take Flecainide for the rest of my life, my dr an

I'm not sure what compelled me to write all of this, but I hope it will help someone. I'm sorry it's so long! TLDR: Im 33, tall, white, cis-man, scandinacian heritage, live in USA. I've experienced PVCs for years. Getting sober didn't help. Meds helped reduce how "hard" or papable the PVCs are. Elec

My first time having afib was June 2023. I went to nap after having lunch and I felt my heart beating out of rhythm. I was freaked out and checked my Apple Watch, did the EKG and it showed AFib. I didn’t believe it so I went to urgent care, they did another EKG which confirmed the afib so I had to g

Was able to keep at bay with diet/exercise for a little more than 18 months. Started getting more regular episodes and decided I wasn’t going t

Hi, EP called on Tuesday and scheduled me for SVT ablation on today (Thursday). Procedure scheduled for 11:00 am with an arrival time of 9am. I arrived at 8:40am to admissions. Signed a bunch of hospital forms and checked in by 8:55am. Nurse brought me to a room at 9:20 am. She hooked up an IV in

Yesterday I caught a QT interaction between donepezil and flecainide, and a few days beforehand a donepezil x azithromycin interaction which ended up seeing the azithro withdrawn. Donepezil has good documentation for causing Torsades des pointes with agents like amiodarone or citalopram, but I'm not

Before my ablation I read many posts and they helped me a lot so I’m sharing my experience and hope it will help others especially because my case was successful. I had an ablation for PVCs/bigeminy one month ago in a university teaching hospital where I spent my career as a nurse. I went from havin
