Atrial Fib

by marilee176, Apr 05, 2008 11:51PM

I experienced AFib lately and when to hospital. Doctor put me on Digoxin, just wondering if anyone is on this drug and if it is working.

This discussion is related to Synthroid and frequent heart flutters.

Digoxin is a really common drug to treat atrial fibrillation that usually works well, if it doesn't though, there are several alternatives. A-fib is not really related to thyroid problems. The kind of heart flutters from being hyper are not the same. Hope this helps. There should be a cardiac forum to post on to hear if the drug has any side effects.
