My husband has had open heart surgery, pacemaker/defib, on all kinds of meds including amirodione plus he had a heart ablation due to A-fib after the pacemaker. He has stopped all his meds except coumadin and lasix. He has stopped his meds for about 5 mos. now. He is starting to cough a lot and can t sleep at night. I know the ultimate consequenses. What should I be looking for?
