Reported Results
Benefits:   The treatment benefits were that the incidence of arrhythmia was drastically reduced and the duration of episodes was also drastically reduced. I could go for days, weeks, and months without having any episodes. When I do have an episode, it is mild and short lived.
Side effects:   There were no side effects that I can recall at the outset and there are no side effects now.
Comments:   I was initially prescribed Beta Blockers. These caused great lethargy and dizzyness. I was tired and had no energy for even the slightest efforts. After trying several Beta Blockers, I was switched to Calcium Channel Blockers. I did not feel well with these either. Finally I was prescribed Flecainide which is evidently not a very popular choice. It seems to have worked well for me.
