Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
He got atrial fibrillation, and due to failure of the other drugs to controle the fibrillation, the doctors have added the digoxine.
If you want to skip it there should be some other drug added to controle the fibrillation.
You can skip it but with the advise of your doctor only.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to have a good maintenance of health.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
