    Re: Arrhythmia/PAF

    Hi Dee

    In my message to Thanos I obviously didn't make it clear regarding my experience at the homoepathic hospital.  Thank you for doing so.  I was interested to read in your reply about the difference between a homoepath and a medically trained homoepath.  I didn't realise there was a difference.  So it is then possible to treat PAF homoepathically.  After 8 years on flecainide my PAF became almost every day AF and when the Cardiologist increased my evening dosage from 50m to 100mg I did experience AF daily and sometimes twice daily.  I also get ectopic heartbeats.  I saw the Cardiologist on 7th December and increased the flecainide to 100mg in the evenings and from then on I had AF twice a day. Now for the past week all has been well.   The only problem now is that I am taking a highly toxic drug which by doubling up evening dosage makes it even more toxic and it is scary.  The Cardiologist did want me to add a small amount 0.125 of digoxin and when I read the side effects of that drug I decided to wait a bit and see if the condition improved without taking it and it does seem to have done so.  If that hadn't worked the Cardiologist wanted to take me off flecainide and put me on something else, but she didn't say what.  Any ideas what?  She did at one time mention Soltolol.

    Best wishes

    Jean
