Had to leave for a while but am back now. I just started on digoxin but don't think I will be able to keep it up. I gained 4lbs in 3 days. I assume it is water weight and that means the Digoxin isn't working correctly for me, at least from all I can read on it. Nothing I take decreases the periodic Afib I get. Lucky for me, I don't get severe symptoms, no passing out, no dizziness and no faintness. I can't work as hard when I am in fib though, I get tired a lot easier. Fortunately I am not in it all the time.

However, I have been having more frequent episodes and asked the Doc this week about ablation. I think I will push him for it.
