      Hi! Welcome to the a-fib forum. Light headed and feeling dizzy, shortness of breath are all common with a-fib. If you have any questions or just need to vent about your a-fib, fell free to contact me. Wishing you well, and wishing you enough... Jan

      I would love to chat and exchange information on A.F. I am newly dx'd and I am still having episodes of A.F. even though I am taking flecainide 100 mg. 2X/daily.

      I started out on 50 mg. twiceday and continued to experience episodes of AF.My cardiologist increased dosage to 100 mg. twice daily and I am have had 2 more episodes. I waited them out and my heart rate came down in about 2 hours however because my B.P. zooms up too it scares the living day lights out of me. What is happening daily is wicked palpations several times daily not associated with an increased heart rate. I am having bouts of dizziness and lightheadiness too. Yukky feeling.
