digoxin weight loss

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 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.

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.

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.

My baby has been seeing cardiologist since 2 weeks old and was found in chf at 3 mo old and ftt admitted for ngt started on Lasix had already been on dig. My baby is SLOWLY gaining weight and the vsd did get a little bit smaller at 6 mo appt but continues to cause difficulty gaining weight. Was taken off dig and Lasix and has been tolerating- no more sweating or tachypnea. Recent appt at 8 mo old did not show a change from last visit.

Been taking digoxin since being diagnosed. I am pretty sure I have had svt all my life, I do recall having attacks when I was younger, but three years ago is when it go bad and more frequent. My cardio told me at first that he things surgery is a last resort for me. I am tired of dealing with the episodes. I feel lucky that their not that bad and that they are tolerable. I am just worried about having the ablation and coming out worse than what I am now.

Dear Doctor I am writing this from India My Son was diagnosied (provisional diagnosis) of Viral Myocarditis when he was 2 weeks old and he was in ICU for 2 weeks (in Dec 2005) . When his condition became stabe he was discharged and was on medication - Carnitine, Lasix & Digoxin. When he was 1 year old, echo revealed improved EF of 45-50% and Doctor stopped Lasix.

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...

Also, he is lost 3 kgs weight in 4 dayz, doctor says its normal as he has been put on digoxin (that will take away excessive fluid from his body). would also like to understand: - Does avoiding excessive fluid intake mean that he should drink less water too?

There is a pattern but no one can tell me what it is or keep it under control- ALMOST EVERY DAY since Dec 15th 2010 I have episodes around 10 or 11 AM- a rush of pin and needles, in the face, around the mouse- my eyes fell like coming of the sockets- NUMBNESS IN MY FACE - loss of vison and confusion Blood pressure increases. In the afternoon it goes away and I feel better In the past 2 weeks I have strong palpitations that last for several hours.

I take usual medications beta blockers, ACE-inhibitors, digoxin, asprin-clopidogrel, statin, deuratics. No other symptoms. Was doing reasonably well until recently. I failed to get any answers from my Cardiologist. Can someone on the forum please help? Do not know what this will lead to or any precautions to be taken? Thanks in advance.

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.

I am taking Digoxin for tachycardia--my cardiologist says that while there aren't good studies available for cardiac meds while pregnant Digoxin is believed to be safe. It is not a betablocker, however the dr felt the digoxin would be safer than a betablocker while preggo. Also the changes in your blood volume while pregnant may correct the tachycardia.

when she was diagnosed with IDC in march of 05 it was 158.... she looks great, has lost weight from the fluid retention the only issues she has now is dizziness sometimes when she stands up too fast or going up a couple flights of stairs drs say her blood pressure may drop from all the meds but it doesn't happen very often svt's are way down but pac's are still over 20,000 i think the addition of digoxin to her regimen has helped the most.

t take beta blockers or channel blockers or digoxin and hypersensitivity to other drugs. Electrocardiologist says the condition is rare, one in a thousand. I suspect it may be higher. The worst side-effect for me was memory loss. Someone asked my daughter's last name, and I didn't know. I have afib and tachycardia, so I'm scheduled for an ablation..

I'm 76 and have had 2 cardio versions. My cardio just took me off digoxin and started me on propafenone which is really making me sick. Do you ever adjust to it? I'm taking 225 mg twice a day.

is it ok to take furosemide 20mg with diltiaz er120mg,digoxin 0.25mg and metoprolol tart 50mg and a bayer aspirin 325mg ?

I have undergone an unsuccessful cardioversion and for the past 2 years I have been prescribed atenolol, flecainide and now digoxin to help control my af. None of these drugs seem to have an effect on my af. Can you please advise me if there ios a cure for af? Jonser This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/253630'>Ventrical</a>.
