Recently, I’ve experienced atrial fibrillation two or three times. After visiting the hospital for evaluation, my doctor prescribed a digitalis medication. However, this is my first time taking this drug—what precautions should I be aware of when using digitalis?

While taking medication, patients should avoid spicy foods—including dishes containing chili peppers and stir-fried foods seasoned with chilies. They should also avoid oily foods such as animal fats, barbecued foods, deep-fried foods, raw or cold foods, and seafood. Patients with heart disease should maintain regular sleep schedules and avoid staying up late. They may engage in appropriate outdoor physical activity according to their individual health status.
