Correct answer: B — Increased digoxin levels and toxicity risk

Verapamil can increase digoxin concentration, and the symptoms are compatible with digoxin toxicity. This makes increased digoxin levels and toxicity risk the single best answer in this scenario. The other options would either miss the key safety issue, delay appropriate review, or fail to meet the relevant clinical or professional requirement.
