Has anyone experience of losing weight and then needing their medication adjusted?
I have recently lost about 20 lb, quite deliberately, over a 6 month period. My heart rate is sometimes now below 60 bpm when resting although I can still feel that I have an irregular beat. I am classed as being in permanent AF.
I will shortly have an annual medication review with my GP which will involve blood tests for thyroid, liver and kidney function plus Digoxin levels. Currently on Bisoprolol 10mg, Digoxin 125 mg, Levothyroxin 75 mg (as a side effect of previously being on Amiodarone) and Rivaroxaban 20 mg. Just wondering whether any of these doses needs to be reduced in view of a lower body weight.
