In a previous post I had mentioned that I was prescribed Digoxin for a single bout of Atrial Flutter w/ 2:1 AV block that I had. One of your, bjk, concerns was that I taking Digoxin @ my age, 32. My question to you is, why would you be concerned that a person my age is taking Digoxin? I asked my cardio about this and she said that she had no concern about giving someone my age digoxin and I really have no other options other than an ablation because beta blockers, cardio-selective, are contradicated in patients w/ asthma.
One other question, during the episode of AFlutter I was taking Darvocet N100 3x daily for lower back pain. I had been on them for 4 of a 5 day course at the point that this took place. I have read that Darvocet can cause conduction delays, in overdose, and I had told the ER doctor that I was taking Darvocet and he did not seem concerned. Another question here is, could the Darvocet have been responsible for the above arrhythmia, even in a "theuraputic" dose? My cardio says no, it would only cause such delays in an overdose setting.
Last question, is it possible that AFlutter can cause blood clots to form in the heart or is that only the case during AFib.?
One last comment, this happened to me over a year ago and since this I have developed some wierd symptoms like constantly sweaty hands and chronic chest pain and a few others, THAT AREN'T PART OF A GENERAL ANXIETY DISORDER. I firmly believe that I have nothing serious wrong with me, I'm just trying to find some answers. Thank you.
