I had a hard time breathing and as soon as I started taking Digoxin it helped in 24 hrs. But since taking it I itch all over my body. I take ibuprofen for pain and i'm wondering if that could be causing the itch.

Twice I have had overdose problems because my physician did not perfor periodic blood level tests. In the first instance the overdose was determined by an emergency room visit because my defibrilator implant discharged. The second time complaints of headache, dizziness, and fatigue caused my physician (a new physician, at that) to order a digoxin test.

I am 57 Female, family history of heart problems. I have AF from severe stress resulting in depression and panic attacks that caused racing pains in the heart. The digoxin helped immediately to stop the pains and I take an anti depressant to help till I get the worst of the stress out of my life. I think I will be all right now; I didn't know it I would make it before I got help from the doctors.

I was found to have a arythmia during a sleep study while pursuing treatment for migraines. I was sent to a cardiolgist and put on this med. Now I am being denied insurance since changing jobs because of this med. What is up with that?! and to top it off I still have migraines and I don't think this med is helping with the arythmias

I have experienced nausea, visual disturbances, extreme fatigue, pounding of the heartbeat very pronounced. Also taking Sotalol. The combination has controlled my Atrial Fibrillation since cardioversion on Nov. 18th, but has left me feeling not so good, thinking the dosage is too much for me.

Since I started taking this drug 2 weeks ago I've been sick with a stomach ache. My pulse rate is back to normal only because I had cardioversion 4 days ago. I had AF.
