Avatar n tn I was in hospital last week for dehydration & electrolytes being messed up. Also had kidney infection. The hospitalist increased my Digoxin from .12mg to 125mcg. I have been on present dose for 10 yrs. I'm afraid to increase by this much. I see my internist on 4/27 and will ask him.
Avatar n tn Some doctors prescribe digoxin for irregular heartbeat, but monitor heart rate and kidney function closely. I hope the digoxin perspective helps you make the right decision. Take care. Cardiovascular side effects have been reported the most frequently.
Avatar f tn I'm sure this is a long shot, but I know Digoxin can help with tissue perfusion as it helps with heart function. Her dose of Dig. was recently cut in half as they felt her heart was doing better, it was shortly after this decrease that I've noticed the increase in discoloration. Could this be related?

Avatar n tn I took Digoxin for a number of years in reponse to an atrial fibrillation event. My new physician did not feel I needed to be on it any longer. What are the side effects of discontinuing this medication? I have been off it for several months and some odd changes in my body.
Avatar f tn He stopped them because they interfered with his love life if you know what I mean. Problem is his kidneys were then destroyed and he was on dialysis for ages until he got a kidney transplant. Happy ending, right? No, that kidney failed, he was on dialysis again for years until he got another kidney. Ouch. Now he takes lots of pills every day instead of his one little blood pressure pill. Not a good trade in my opinion.
Avatar n tn He was having problems breathing and when I received a phone call stating that he was not able to speak due to it, I rushed home and had an ambulance take him to the E.D. He was put on a ventilator and we were told that he had kidney failure and liver failure. He did not drink alcohol in excess at all. He actually didn't drink within the last 50 years. They kept asking if he was an alcoholic.
Avatar f tn However, in general calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers are preferred to digoxin. Digoxin has been around for a long time! I used Digoxin over 50 years ago for my PSVT, and my recollection was that it did little to prevent episodes. There are so many newer drugs now that are far more effective. My basic understanding of Digoxin is that it works on the heart's electrical system and decreases the heart rate, but increases each stroke volume.
Avatar f tn 20 mcg Digoxin, all twice daily) has high blood pressure. Her latest readings (taken while awake, and calm, with an infant MANUAL bp cuff) were 114/80 (left arm) & 110/68 (right arm). What could be causing her high blood pressure?
Avatar f tn i hev a question concerning digoxin....wat is its effect in the body. I mean its pharmacokinetic effects. i am having a hard time searching the net for it...
162069 tn?1224677411 It seems that the addition of digoxin to her regimen is what has done the trick, as it has significantly lowered her amount of SVT pac's are still very frequent, but as long as her ef is improved I am a very happy camper....
Avatar n tn I am wondering if you are uneasy about taking digoxin. If so, I would ask you cardio if you can get by with just the TOPROL XL. Digoxin, xanax, toprol xl, and lisinoprol seems like a lot of stuff to be taking. I am a runner and only take TOPROL XL 12.5mg. This knocks out my extra beats and really slows my heart down. A little seems to go a long way for me.
