I have been on digoxin for the past 13 years. my new cardiologist wants me to stop taking it. what should i expect & when would be time to call dr.

Probably nothing: It's hard to answer without knowing why you were on it in the first place, as there are several reasons why the drug is used. If you had rhythm disturbances of the heart and have undergone RF ablation, there is not likely to be any problem from stopping digoxin. You'd want to call if you have sustained racing heart action.

Digoxin: Digoxin has specific indications and benefits. You must discuss why stop it, the risk vs benefit. Do it soon.
