Hello all

I’ve recently been diagnosed with af and Hf and have been prescribed digoxin, frusomide and apixaban.

I also have a long standing goitre needing no treatment.I’ve noticed that since taking the heart medication for just over 2 weeks that the goitre has shrunk.

Should I be concerned?

Many thanks.
