Palpitations?

[mystery726116]

I've been diagnosed with sinus node re-rentry tachycardia.  I've suffered from chest pain and dizziness during the episodes and was originally prescribed 2 different beta-blockers.  I wasn't able to tolerate either because of my asthma, so I just started (yesterday) Flecainide.  There was been a noticeable decrease in the tachycardia, but since mid-afternoon yesterday, I've had nearly constant palpitations (or what I think are palpitations).  I've searched for side effects of Flecainide but can't come up with anything solid.  Has anyone had this experience?  What are your thoughts?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you.  I had no idea it was such a potent medicine.  I'll contact my dr asap.  Take care.

I know I made a post to this last night, but it isn't here now...I don't know what happened.

Here it is again, approximately:
Contact your doctor, your side-effect should be reported immediately to your doctor. Flecainide is a very strong medication and careful and prompt analysis of side effects is important.  My cardiologist requires one be hospitalized for the introduction/test of Flecainide in a patient.  I know some doctors do not require hospitalization, but I mention to emphasize the importance of contacting your doctor.
