* - WARFARIN - this is a anticoagulant, helps keep blood flowing smoothly and decreases certain substances to clot in the blood.
* - CARVEDILOL - treats high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. This is a beta-blockerthat helps reduce the risk of a heart attack.
* - AMIODARONE - treats life-threayening heart rhythm problems in patients who have already taken antiarrhythmic medicines.
*** - DIGITEK - this the one the doctor took me off last week. It was used to treat certain types of irregular heartbeats.

Country:  | As Thor said, Erich, we're all with ya... Keep it up ,mate!
It runs in the male side of our family, so I know (thankfully only second hand) how bad it is - but I also know that half the battle is in your mind.
Easy to say, but try to keep on top of it mate.
All the best to your dad too, freebird. Ya's are all in my prayers. | |

Unfortunately he's probably paying the price for 35 years of working with chemicals. {and he used to smoke too} He's a pretty resolute guy, it's my Mum that's more worried about it
