Do Metoprolol And Digoxin Cause Low Body Temperature?
My mom is 90 years old. She has atfib and occasional heart failure. She takes metroprolol 50mg 4x daily, digoxin 125mg once and synthroid 1x daily because of no thyroid. Also takes oxycodone 4x daily due to hip replacements and spinal stenosis. She just woke up with a body temperature of 95.5F. She s worried if that s dangerous. Can her medications cause low body temp?
