Any thoughts on the drug Digoxin please. Currently my drug regime is not controlling my rates, resting rate should be 60 as set by my pacemaker but for the past 6 days it has been erratic, also finding that the diuretic I take is not dealing efficiently with my fluid overload. Due to see cardiac specialist nurse practitioner on the 4th September, and our last consult over a year ago it was mentioned that if the Bisoporal and Propanefone together did not work then Digoxin was the next choice. I would add that I was diagnosed with heart failure at that time. Also feel extremely dizzy but aware that could be a different matter.

So sorry to read about your situation, I have taken digoxin previously for rate control. It is very effective, it took my rate down to 48 BPM but I also take bisoprolol.3.75mg at night. I don't have a pacemaker just AF and recovering from a stroke, 13 months post now.

Your pacemaker only sets the bottom rate. Mine is also set at 60 but most of the time my rate is mid 70s.
