What Casues Flu Like Symptoms While On Flecainide?

My husband is on flecainide about a month now; the last 11 days on 2 doses a day of 2 pills each dose (50 mg per pill). He is today having flu-like symptoms. He is supposed to have a cardio version on Tuesday morning. Apparently flu symptoms can happen. How common is it?
