When I took Digoxin I felt really low and vague. Had never experienced anything like it before. Will never ever take it again.

It's difficult to say because I had constant tachycardia at the time so felt drained with that. I think the feeling low may have taken a week or so to go.

Hi.Anxiety attacks are slight different to Panic attacks and can last a period of time, hours to couple days. When I was put on bisoprolol and digoxin some years ago I had nothing but. The digoxin was stopped after a few weeks becos I felt so terrible. However bisoprol or any beta blocker can also trigger anxiety stuff.

Just an idea........the unexplained anxiety bouts could come from drugs upsetting the stomach. I believe the stomach does convey it's position to the brain.

I was getting the odd wave of anxiety which has largely disappeared after a hi tech urine test revealed bad stomach bacteria and got given probiotics and glycine; the latter in particular may have helped. Of course you would need to check with your own medical advisers.
