Digoxin side effects or post covid

I just had a blood check to find that in the last few months my iron levels have dropped quite a bit.

Now I have read that digoxin can affect iron levels and so can post covid . I have a fairly mild infection about 8 weeks ago.

I also understand low iron can actually cause a fib? Any ideas welcome.

Pretty much any imbalance in the system can be part of the AFib 'bad company' list. Apparently a lot of the female population are iron depleted (for perhaps obvious reasons). I bet you're feeling tired and miserable due to the deficiency- my sister in law had this. She's fine now and hopefully you will be too.
