CHRONIC PALPITATION

[GRANDPUPA]

I've had this palpitation for some time now, it flows with my normal heart rate (not faster) but really pounding & disturbing. Have been to the hospital, went thru ECG & Echo, and my heart was certified ok, yet the pounding continued. Went to a pharmacist who prescribed Bisoprolol for me; it only brought down my heart rate and never made any difference to the pounding heart. Went to another hospital where the dr prescribed Nattoenzym for me which, after taking for some time, I fell better for the 1st time in months. The drug is quite expensive in my part of the world. Now someone else prescribed Digoxin for me which I'm taking at the moment and I'm feeling pretty good.

Does somebody here know something about this drug, DIGOXIN? As far as I'm concerned, for now it's really good on me.
