Sleep disorders?


Not sleeping well at night, I suffer from Atrial fibbrelation, I take Digoxin, Beta Pace, to slow and regulate my heart,these meds are now at the maximum possible dosage and I started having brief bouts of a-fib again I take .1 milligrams of xanax 3 times a day to slow me down so I dont overtax my heart,my heart rate runs 40 to 60 B.P.M. during last bout of full blown a-fib heart rates hit 326 B.P.M.... I thought that I should sleep like a rock but only average 4 to 5 hours sleep a night and it is restless sleep. I also take Vytorin to lower high cholesterol, this leaves me constantly tired and with severe muscle and joint pain and often headaches. I am going back to Doctor but wanted feedback from anyone else who may be having same problem.

I do not have the same problem, but you should ask your doctor if too much medication could be it.

I don't have the same health problems as you, but I do take several medications for other conditions. Even though I take a stimulant every morning for my ADD, I am usually tired during the day because side effects from other conditions often cause insomnia. I am not sure if you could take it or not, but after trying several other sleep aids my doctor prescribed AmbienCR. Regular Ambien didn't keep me asleep all night, only 3-5 hours. But the CR has been doing the trick so far. I take it every night and within about an hour I am asleep. Hope that helps! Good luck!
