Missed beats

 I have a pacemaker for sick sinus syndrome and I'm also taking flecainide 100 mg twice a day for af.  I have been fine for a few months but have now started to have Missed beats each followed by an episode of tachycardia. Does anyone else have anything similar and is it anything to worry about.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi there, I also have a pacemaker. I still get missed beats and it sometimes makes my heart race a little afterwards. It is quickly gone. I dont take any meds but BP med. I would ask your Dr if maybe the medicine is causing this. Try not to worry~ ( I do, try that is) Hugs,Ileen
