Apixaban and THS

I wander if anybody experienced increase of thyroid and sugar numbers, while taking Apixaban. My last blood test result shows THS 6.88. The norm is no more than 4.

Feeling tired, while walking might be result of increase THS .

APPRECIATE PESPOND.

Your TSH (not THS) is much too high for someone being treated. Are you taking Levothyroxine? You should ask your GP to do a full thyroid blood test, not just TSH, but also Free T4 and free T3. I know nothing about Apixaban but plenty about thyroid. I had to have mine out and living without it and relying on hormone treatment is not simple. Have you tried Google to see if any adverse effects have been reported?

This is not a known problem. Suggest you see your doctor as Hennerton says.

BobD and Hennerton suggest you raise it with your GP. If and when you eventually find out, can you post again please - it would be interesting to know whether there is any link.
