It definitely makes sense to speak with your pharmacist, maybe with another doctor who is specialized more on the heart rhythm and the drugs effect on it.
You must tell everyone about all meds you're taking.
For every med it makes sense to reevaluate its usefulness. Maybe you don't need every med?give living a yes tonight, there is somebody loving you.
