There have been studies where digoxin makes afib worse. I think cardios just prescribe it for good measure. Judy thanks so much - loved your comments about the wine and gin and tonic...I agree that afib is finicky and I too would not like to give up everything I like, including my morning one cup of coffee. (Starbucks French Roast) I do find, however, coffee or no, that mornings and the first half of the day seems like a " busier " afib time for me and that I calm down in the evenings. IF I am staying home and staying calm, of course. And I have googled digoxin and don't like what I have read. Btw if the doctor never puts you on a holter how in the heck does he know if and when you come on and off of afib? Sometimes I think I am out of it just on my own. I am going to ask my cardiologist tomorrow if I can just get off of the digoxin. Are you on coumadin? You mention an EP. (electrophysiologist) I would assume this is the doctor I should be seeing, not just a garden variety cardiologist. Thanks so much for your response. It helps a great deal, especially with the anxiety of this thing. Lil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
