This last statement surprises me. Not that MS sucks, we all know that, but the fact that your doctor would even mention it when your diagnosis was Atrial Fibrillation. That's what surprises me.
As much as MS peeves us all, we can't blame everything on MS, and AF is one condition I've never heard mentioned in regards to Multiple Sclerosis.
I may be wrong and believe me I often am, so correct me please if you have information to the contrary, but the AF sounds to me like a totally different medical condition.
I'm sorry that you went through this scary time but I'm glad that you were able to get immediate emergency care, because your symptoms sure did sound a lot like those of a heart attack. I'm so pleased that it wasn't.
AF can be serious though, but I guess you already know that, and Digoxin has been the medication of choice for many years for AF. I'm happy to know that you're finally on that one.
Sending you some hugs, and I hope you've had your last trip to hospital for this condition.
