level became toxic and caused nausea vomiting weakness impaired judgment fatigue emotional lability
Used it yrs ago when AF first diagnosed. Seemed fine for yrs, but when AF came hard, docs switched me to Bisoprolol, a beta blocker. Now on Sotalol, and not working either.
The first try with Digoxin was not pleasant. Anxiety attacks and shortness of breath. After going back into AFIB 7 months after the first time, they put me back on it. This time everything seems to be fine. I am approaching this episode more relaxed and accepting. I believe the first time on Digoxin that I was overly sensitive to the effects on my body and probably more was anxiety than anything else.

Seems to have reduced the number of episodes of arrhythmias that I was having and they are less severe.
Working / Worked
I had been on a betablocker but it made my blood pressure too low. I have been taking Digoxin since 2006 and it has really helped.
Working / Worked
I am tired all the time
I fear i am going to have a heart attack at any moment and the aching feeling i get in my chest is very uncomftable it makes me worry i just hope the cardioversion works as i dont want to go on like this the rest of my life my feet are also very swollen.
