You probably won't, if you keep on with that digoxin. Stop it now!
Please email Hans, the owner of afibbers.org at [log in to unmask]
for the well-researched reason why digoxin is a very bad idea.
No competent physician would prescribe it.

Coumadin is a blood thinner; my experience is that on a paleolithic diet 
my blood is thin anyway, and taking a blood thinner (fish oil) last year 
caused three hemorrhagic strokes.

IMO pemmican is the ultimate paleo; it has done wonders for me, and the 
problems I've had along the way were caused by attempts to "help" it. 
Pemmican is also the best chance of losing weight without cravings or 
other problems - eat all you want and be happy.
