Hot sweats
I am 68 , female, and was diagnosed with AF 8 years ago. After 3 cardio versions which didn't work I am on digoxin, warfarin and Slozem ( diltiazem) I get very hot, similar to hot flushes mainly in the evening and when I lie down. Do others have this too?

When Bisoprolol doesnt work?
My mother had a bad AF attack a few weeks ago, ended up in hospital where they increased the bisoprolol from 2.5 to 10 a day. 4 weeks later she is back in. They tried adding digoxin but HR plumeted from 130 to 42, so she is now off both for 48 hours and HR creeping up very slowly. They have mentioned

Update or no update
I have had a few test and its confirmed I need mitre valve replaced, but .... that it the world seems to stopped. Maybe there is too many Dr involved with my care and thats why nothing is happening. I am so annoyed, nobody seems to take me serious, I am Bisoprolol, Ramipril, Furosemide, Rivaroxaban

Living with rhythm changes.
Hi everyone, I have had atrial arithmia/flutter for nearly 12 years and had three ablations and one cardioversion and all have been reasonably successful, albeit for different periods of time. At present I am taking digoxin, sotalol, indapamide, perindopril and warfarin. Amiodarone was suggested before

Swapping medication timing
My AF is now persistent , punctuated by being woken early hours on other occasions with my "bad AF" which I'm calling palpitations and which debilitate me for a few hours. Can't drive or do much until it reverts to my "normal" AF (fast, irregular, 80-odd BPM - and I can cope with that!) I take my medication

Ditch Digoxin
People who are prescribed Digoxin and suffer from AF have a 29% increased risk of dying from any cause according to research. The literature that accompanies a prescription for this drug states that it should not be taken by people who suffer from an irregular heart beat or electrical conductivity

AFIB and Heart Failure
This is my first post. In June 2012 I was diagnosed with AFIB & Heart Failure. My pulse rate was 160. The hospital cardiologist decided to treat me with the powerful drugs which they routinely prescribe instead of trying a cardioversion. Three miserable years later, after trying beta-blockers, ace inhibitors

amiodorone and digoxin
Hello, i have been put on amiodorone 200mg but i also take digoxin 250mg I have read up about the fact that if you are taking these 2 drugs together that digoxin dose should be stopped or at least halved because amiodorone increases the effects of digoxin significantly. My Doctor never mentioned it

Digoxin
Hi, I was prescribed Bisoprolol after an overnight visit at AE, i had to stop this. because side effects, one being giving high pulse, opposite it was supposed to do. My GP put me on Digoxin 125, back last week, but my pulse was 90, so up the dose to 250. Since then I don't feel well, no appetite, lethargy

Hasty again!
Hello Folks! Been feeling increasingly breathless this week, and tightness in chest, as well as lethargic. Then last evening went into A-fib again - enough to feel quite unwell but not my "bad" ("full") sort where I'm almost crawling along the floor. Didn't sleep well, felt short of breath. So went

To ablate or not to ablate...
Saw Wajid Hussein at Harefield last week. He expressed surprise that I was back in sinus having been diagnosed by my local cardiologist as being in persistent af. I suggested it was due to the medication, but he said sometimes af just disappears and no one is quite sure why. He thinks I should have
