Acid Reflux
Hi, does anyone suffer with worsening symptoms of acid reflux because of blood thinners? I took Edoxaban which aggravated my stomach and now am trying apixaban. I have a hiatus hernia and was taking Lansoprazole 15mg. I have had to increase it to 30mg which is not helping. The doctor gave me Esomeprazole

Apixaban and shortness of breath
I have been on Apixaban blood thinners for over a year and find I am out of breath very easy lately. Can Apixaban cause this?

stomach ulcer and blood thinners
hello all, has anyone got an ulcer from Edoxoban, I’ve had really bad stomach pains with sweating and the pain radiating to my back, I thought it was a heart attack at first as I know with women it can be felt in those areas, I was nearly sick as well, doctor recons it’s an ulcer from the Edoxoban.

Another antigoagulant question
Hello. A year ago I had painless thyroiditis which sent me into Afib and I remained in Afib constantly for 5 months for which I was on bisoprolol and an anticoagulant. I was then put on an anti arrhythmia meds at the time the thyroid cleared up and was soon back in NSR. That was last March. Since then

Consultant update
Hey all I'm feeling pretty happy after my meeting with my consultant. Although my heart is still severely impaired, my EF is now 25%. Taken two years but it's improved from the 10-15% that it was. I also no longer have to take warfarin, I am being changed to one of the new blood thinners. Just got my

Waiting For Ablation
6 weeks ago I had a successful cardioversion but sadly it lasted just 20 days before I went back into AF. Yesterday I had a follow up appointment at the hospital where they said that the results of my echo cardiogram had come back normal but that they felt that the best option for me, based on my age

Stopping blood thinner for surgery
Hi All, In late July I had either a TIA or a migraine, the doctors are divided on what it was. In the course of the scans and tests, they found an aneurysm plus an "area of concern" in my brain. I'm scheduled for surgery on Oct. 25. I'm supposed to add another antiplatelet (in addition to the aspirin

Sticky blood! A thing or not?
Many years ago my blood tests often had to be repeated at the pathology lab because the first and second samples had set solid in transit before testing. I was told it was because I had sticky blood. Last week I saw a cardiologist who initially wanted me to take blood thinners, but as I only scored 1

AV Node Ablation Good News
After having 9 cardio versions (shock treatment) in the past two years and at the age of 77, I decided to go for quality of life and forego all the drugs that I have taken over the past few years. I tried two ablations and a few drug protocols of which none worked. After all of that and the worry of

Herb-Drug Interaction with Acalabrutinib and Boswellia Serrata
Looking for information to see if there is a herb-drug interaction between Acalabrutinib and Boswellia. Boswellia is an herb that is good for joint pain and has anti-inflammatory effects. I have previously read that people on blood thinners should not take the herb. Would this herb affect the efficacy

Bring on more sh*t
Well as if the year hasn't been shit enough. I went into AF on Friday night and now on Digoxin and Eliquis blood thinners.

Post Echo scan and consultant follow up
Hi all Ive recently been moved to 'severe' stenosis with severe regurgitation with my BAV. I went to see the cardiologist today and he said its likely I would have the operation in the next 2 years. Its kind of taken me back as im pretty much a symptomatic and thought i might still have years before

Asthma without infection
Brief history. Moved north to West Yorkshire in 1974 (aged 29). Started with beathing difficulties. Had allergy tests and a course of desensitisation injections, which worked, but whenever I caught a cold, it morphed into a sore throat and chest infection leading to gasping for breath. Major attack
