Hi, please don’t stop taking any medication without consulting your GP or consultant. Digoxin is keeping your heart at a healthy rhythm.

Digoxin is the oldest heart drug- tried and tested for at least a century. Your feeling of sickness could be overdose of the drug. How much Digoxin are you taking and what is pulse rate. If it becomes a nuisance symptom, contact your G.P. -he would like to give you a blood test like Digoxin level which is appropriate test for overdosing.

Certain medications can have strong side effects. Talk it through with your doctor. Rampiril caused me to have a hacking cough - once I stopped taking it I soon felt much better and the cough disappeared. Other medications can make you a bit breathless. There are usually alternatives. Worth a chat about it
