Hi farewelltoarms.

If your doctor says it's ok I would follow their advice. I went though the same thing (different meds) and everything was fine.

Hi

Wondering if you are a BAHA'I as I am, don't support war unless government call me up. At 75 years in NZ and female I've past the day of conscription.

No but respect your attitude. If getting off of Lopressor and the Dig works I will be so grateful. Fingers crossed.

I would follow my doctor’s advice every time. They use national guidelines often to help with their prescribing plus their wealth of experience and knowledge.

Digoxin worked well for me when I had atrial flutter when nothing else would.
