"It has improved my husband's life. His heart doesn't beat so weak or irregularly. Doctor says it is essential to his remaining heart muscle to beat strong & regular. Has lessened some of the chest discomfort. Only side effect noticed (at initial dose) was the effect it had on his appetite. Initial dose was with a.m. meds, but went all day without eating a thing. I suggested taking with p.m. dose. Cardiologist approved; works great. Now eats his 3 regulars daily and looks a lot better."

"Digoxin is not working for me. My weight has dropped to 6 stone from 9 stone, but I cannot taste or swallow food and go for several days without eating at all. I have no energy, so I can do nothing. This causes great distress for my family as well as for myself. Hopefully, recent blood tests prove I need to come off this drug."

"It gives me joint pain, and I easily get tired. I have also developed gynecomastia, they called it man-boobs. It made me uncomfortable. I really need to stop it. I'll try CoQ10 or hawthorn berry for replacement, hope it will work for me."
