I am using Tambacor (Flecainide 200 mg CR) to regulate/control arrhythmia. Is this med, in any other form, an effective remedy for this condition? I was prescribed this medication by a cardiologist at a large and well known hospital in Africa. It worked. My days were smooth with no racing heart or thuds and anxiousness... although it did take a week to get used to it - dizziness and weakness for 5 days then, a smooth and uneventful 5 weeks followed. The cardiologist said You will feel better in a week . I certainly did. Last week I ran out of the 200gm CR. I had it replaced with the twice daily 100mg dose. I took the 200 mg CR for six weeks. I was thinking something so effective would be available in NS. This drug, Flecainide, as a 200 mg CR is not available in Nova Scotia. I am taking 100Mg tablets twice a day at meals morning and evening. It has no positive effect. I feel the symptoms of racing irregular beats etc., for three hours after the 100mg pill. Can you help?

What kind of medication would you recommend to help a person with heart irregularity? A person I am talking about has a problem of irregular heart beating. The pulse is quite strong, but there is a strong uneveness of the time between the beats (because of which the heart stabilizer was installed and used). After its installation the pulse became less strong and quite even, but the strenghth of pulse became a little uneven. My question is: what kind of medication, if any would you recommend to improve functioning of the heart? Thanks very much in advance! There were conduction problems, which were leading to irregularities I mentioned above. This person had emotional shocks in the past, which had caused heart abnormalities. This person suspectedly had several heart attacks, one of which led to a clinical death. When this happened, this person was reanimated (10 minutes after the heart stopped). When I talk about improving functioning of the heart , I mean optimization of its work so that person feels good. The installed pacemaker is an atrioventricular one. The person suffers from the pace slowering.
