Hi Dee,

Nice to hear that Dee, only started on them myself quite recently. I assume you are taking 20mg? And are you having regular "Renal and Liver function" checks if you don't mind me asking.

Kind Regards

Brian

Hi Barry

I was on 20mg for some time but I had a liver and kidney function test which was slightly off and my doc switched me to 15mg. All blood tests have been in the normal range since.

I sure was pleased I was taking Rivaoxaban when I had my last massive AF attack, put on intravenous morphine for the pain and chemically converted with flecainide. I have never felt so ill in my life and terrified but at least I felt I had stroke protection. Be well.
