Joint Pain on Edoxaban?
I was first diagnosed with Paroxysmal AF in A&E in November last year. I was prescribed Edoxaban and there seemed to be no side effects. I have only suffered one short episode of AF since then at the end of December. Nothing since. About 3 weeks ago I started to feel that my legs were becoming stiff

Experimenting on myself, don't all try this at home
This is long but I wanted to share this in the hope this inspires someone, some may think I'm crazy but I just had to find out. I have HOCM, its quite mild and has been so for years. It's hereditary. Im in my 50's . Was sort of bullied by cardiologists to take Beta blockers and have been on a low dose

So many side effects with blood thinners
I posted earlier this week about constipation with epixaban. I had a long conversation with my GP yesterday and because of several side effects from edoxaban and epixaban, on the advice of my cardiologist she now wants me to try rivoxaban. I have been suffering with dizziness, nausea, and heart palpitations

Joint pain on Edoxaban
Hi there.I was diagnosed with AF 2 months ago and put on Edoxaban. I've started to get joint pains in my hands and knees and was wondering if anyone has had the same problems after just a short time on these tablets. Do you take a different anticoagulant, e.g. Apixaban or other brands and do you have

5 beats
Diagnosed with afib and on blood thinners and Bisoprolol. I am lucky to get 5 normal heart beats in a row and then a pause of 1 beat, sometimes only 3 and then sometimes 10 or more before a pause. My heart rate before treatment was around 60 at rest increasing with exercise. Now in the low 40`s.

Over the top life stress causing symptoms after heart blockage
I’ve been suspecting that I may have a couple different things, including Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, because of my continued chest pain & heart symptoms (one month post a 70% ventricular block and stent) and because of the extremely stressful things I’ve been dealing with. What treatments have you been
