Are Tremors The Side Effect Of Flecainide Prescribed For Arrhythmia Of Heart?

I ve been taking 200 msg of Flecainide (100 in the AM and 100 in the PM) for three years and a neurologist picked up on a tremor. I noticed that tremors can be a side effect of the medication. The medication has been a tremendous help in controlling my arrythmia and certainly outweighs the side effect. Can you tell me if the tremor can be, in fact, a side effect of the medication?
