digoxin verapamil

hi, i want to ask you that which of the digoxin or verapamil are better for prophylactic treatment of paroxysmal superaventricular tachycardia for sone one who was treatet with intravenous adenosine?

s common use is for Afib and Aflutter, beta and calcium channel blockers are the more modern medicine of choice. Digoxin has potentially dangerous interactions with verapamil, and amiodarone, and a number of other commonly prescribed drugs.

ll get vomit with Digoxin. Then he put Verapamil and Flecainide. I was spinning to sleep every night. I took the verapamil off by myself. Just the Flecainide by itself was fine. After 2 months, my heart beats very irregular. Big thumb here and there. Looks like restart every few minutes. GP wrote me to ER. I get admitted. The doctor told me that the Flecainide was not working anymore. Anyway, I already implanted a 2 leads pacemaker. I got Wolff Parkinsons White Syndrome.

During af I got bisoprolol (not good, stopped), Digoxin and Dilmin (not good, stopped). Digoxin and atenolol were left until I got Multaq a week before electric cardioversion. Atenolol has been very good for me to prevent tachycardia for tens of years. Most betablockers are not good for me. Calcium blockers are not good either, eg. Verapamil is forbidden. I don't know Crestor and Cartia. Do you know to what group of medicines they belong? Now I have been without af over nine months.

the dr found several severe atrial tachycardias & my heart rate going to 270 bpm. he has put me on Digoxin so we'll c if that helps..is any1else taking Digoxin?

I haven't seen any evidence to suggest so. Just to clarify something Cindy mentions above, Verapamil isn't a beta blocker. Verapamil is a calcium channel clocker. Verapamil is a class IV antiarrhythmic. It alters calcium uptake in the heart's muscle cells. Its intended use is for lowering blood pressure. One could say that being on it for 5 years caused your heart muscle to get used to it. Stopping it abruptly was a no-no.

Medicines that were tried and discontinued for either side effects or not helping- lopressor, florinef, midodrine, and verapamil. Currently, I am not being treated by any physician for my P.O.T.S.. After a recent abnormal holter monitor, during which my heart climbed as high as 160 (standing after sleeping), a doctor asked me if I'd ever taken digoxin.

I was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure after a brief stay in the hospital (admitted from the ER with chest pains). I was given several tests, including an echocardiogram and a nuclear stress test.

s these medications she takes for dilated cardiomyopathy she has recently begun digoxin, and this has improved her ef, and has improved overall heart function working in conjunction with the other meds she is currently at the max dosage of coreg, and with the exception of occasional low bp she has tolerated it very well (though i will caution everyone that at the start of taking coreg the side effects can be troublesome, she had two issues of very low bp that actually made her "dro

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.

s explanation where he states digoxin is used to treat irregular heartbeats. I was on digoxin for a few months following my congested heart failue event. It is my understanding the medication is used to increase contractility of the pumping chambers. My medication for stablizing heart rate is a beta blocker (coreg) and an ACE inhibitor. My research: "Digoxin is contraindicated in patients with ventricular fibrillation.

i take 240 milligrams of verapamil at nightime does anyone know if this gives you headaches.

I was recently diagnosed with OI and POTS and was told that I may have to start taking verapamil. Since this is normally used to treat hypertension, how would it help hypotension?

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...

can i take 2 verapamil 120 er/myl twice daily, if i am out of the verapamil 240 er/myl twice daily

Is anyone out there having bouts of extreme nausea and severe constipation while taking Verapamil? Are there alternatives that I can take. Verapamil is prescribed to me for atrial fibrillation along with flecanide.

I was put on an IV of cardizem, then digoxin . I have a history of svt and took verapamil for 15 years. My EP urged me to have an ablation for the svt hopingthat the svt could have been a trigger for the a-fib. I had the ablation 8 weeks ago, and my AVNRT was successfully ablated. However, in the weeks since the procedure I have had very brief runs (2-17 beats) of tachycardia once or twice a week.

ve been on boty Verapamil and Bystolic but never together. I went off Verapamil because of the bloating, gas and constipation. Went off the Bystolic cause of the breathing problems it was causing. What is your condition that you need to be on a beta blocker or Calcium channel blocker? I went to anogther Doc who told me verapamil doesn't absorb hence the bloating so he put me on Diltiazem (Cardizem) 24 hour release capsules. Hoping it doesn't cause the intesinal issues.

I am currently seeing put me on Nadolol which my body did not like, it effected my blood circulation and so on and so forth so he took me off that and decided we should try Verapamil [daily] and frova [spell check] as needed, does anyone have an insight on either of these medications? It seems like I have tried everything in the book and I am so tired of filling my body of pills with all these different, terrible side effects..

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....

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.
