On apixaban for A F

Has anyone on Apixaban bitten there tough as I bite mine in my sleep

I'm not on apixaban and take xarelto instead. I've woken myself up at night several times recently by biting my tongue and didn't think that there was a relationship between this and medication. After reading your post I'm now wondering if there possibly is a connection, as something I've never done before.

I have been on apixaban for a couple of months, and wear a pacemaker because of irreversible persistent AF. I have had no discernable problem, definitely no nocturnal tongue biting and I do find it much preferable to Warfarin because there is no longer any need to sit around waiting in the anticoagulant clinic to have my INR checked nor do I have to worry about the effect that other medication or a an attack of flu or the like might have on my INR. Definitely an improvement.

Hi yes I do bite my tongue fairly regularly and I am on Apixaban! I thought it was just me!
