Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | The treatment benefits were that the incidence of arrhythmia was drastically
reduced and the duration of episodes was also drastically reduced. I could
go for days, weeks, and months without having any episodes. When I do have
an episode, it is mild and short lived. |
| Side effects: | | There were no side effects that I can recall at the outset and there are no
side effects now. |
| Comments: | | I was initially prescribed Beta Blockers. These caused great lethargy
and dizzyness. I was tired and had no energy for even the slightest efforts.
After trying several Beta Blockers, I was switched to Calcium Channel
Blockers. I did not feel well with these either. Finally I was prescribed
Flecainide which is evidently not a very popular choice. It seems to have
worked well for me. |
