Our cardiologist has recently prescribed flecainide 50 twice for my mother who has arrhythmia issue and recently suffered a stroke due to it she is also taking concor 2.5 and aspirin 150 ,atorva 80 and xarelto 10 to prevent further stroke my concern is about flecainide safety with her current heart condition as it has some abnormalities and doctor checked the lvef before prescribing it was about 40-45 . I have read on Internet that flecainide is not safe for people who have structural heart issue which is there in my mother's echo kindly suggest. And since starting the medicine today we checked in our Apple Watch many times afib was detected even more then before taking this medicine.
