AF diagnosis

[Paxim]

Hi

I have been monitored because of the above diagnosis which is preventing me having an operation on my bowel. Unfortunately my heart rate and blood pressure are not stable enough to do the operation at the moment.

The latest combo of drugs I'm about to try is Bisoprolol 1 tablet once a day plus Edoxaban 1 tablet plus Digoxin 1 tablet. Does anyone have any tips on the best way to take these - ie morning /night with food or not to avoid any side effects and also is anyone taking this combo of drugs if so are they working

Grateful for any comments and advice

I was on Bisoprolol and Digoxin which caused my heart rate to drop 28-38 BPM ended up in hospital

Consultant stopped both. They certainly are effective as slowing it all down. Just keep an eye on yourself. I rely on an Apple Watch for ongoing monitoring

there has been research on this subject and an article on the BHF site summarises it nicely: bhf.org.uk/informationsuppo...

the main conclusion is: Currently, there’s no set guidance on when you should take your blood pressure tablets. Based on these results, people can take their blood pressure lowering medications at a time of day that’s convenient and that minimises undesirable effects. It’s still important to take them regularly as your doctor has recommended for you

I'm on Bisoprolol and Apixaban which I take in the morning
