Digoxin use.. Just beginning to use this drug to regulate heart rate.

My mother had congestive heart failure. She was on Digoxin to make her heart beat stronger and a vasodilator
to open her arteries. She also took furosemide, the water pill, to clear her lungs. She kept getting thinner. Over time her heart kept getting weaker until she died.

Thanks for your replay. My mother was also on Digitalis, as I remember. Think I inherited my parents' medical conditions; cancer and heart problems. Helps to know family history if possible. The Digoxin seems to be regulating heart beat, but Midodrine is only a temporary help to increase blood pressure for about three hours. Takes a while to figure out how each prescription is working'
