Help! I am having very bad side effects with propafenone

I'm 76 and have had 2 cardio versions.  My cardio just took me off digoxin and started me on propafenone which is really making me sick.  Do you ever adjust to it? I'm taking 225 mg twice a day.

Appareantly those are normal side effects from that medicine. It might take a while to get used to it, if not you should definitely ask to try another one!
