Yes, Flecainide can cause insomnia, sleepiness, dizziness, and visual disturbances. If you experience these symptoms, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery and consult your doctor.
Flecainide may increase the risk of subsequent heart attacks or death in patients who had a heart attack within the past two years. It should be used cautiously and only for life-threatening arrhythmias. Discuss risks with your doctor.
Follow your doctor's prescription for Flecainide. It is typically taken in divided doses throughout the day, on an empty stomach or at least one hour before meals, with sufficient water.

Weight gain is not a direct side effect of Flecainide. However, it may lead to conditions like heart failure and edema (fluid retention), which can cause apparent weight gain. Consult your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
Inform your doctor if you are on metoprolol before starting Flecainide. While combining these medications may improve rhythm control in persistent atrial fibrillation, do not start metoprolol independently.
