Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My doctor put me on digoxin. I did not take the 4 tablets the first day because my pulse rate had dropped to 51, and pressure was 117/71. But my heart rate is running high. 75 and 80 sitting. I have taken two tablets today. Should I take more or just take one a day from now on?
We will try to help you in the best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, you can adjust the dosage based upon recent ECG and cardiologist review and pulse between 60-100 is acceptable range and meanwhile, current dosage can be continued.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
