What a week

[Mazza23]

Monday hubby rushed to hospital bleeding from the bowel after a blood transfusion an iron infusion battery of tests including colonoscopy endoscopy blood tests ect they have put it down to the anti platelet drug he is taking for his heart. Very scary

Anti platelets can do that more than anticoagulants from my experience. Scary doesn't cover it. Hope all OK now.

[Mazza23]

They just let him come home have taken him off anti platelet told him to eat sparingly for a few days and hopefully he will be ok one good thing they did not find any nasties thanks for your good wishes hopefully will get a good sleep tonight ,lucky my heart has been behaving its self xx

How bizarre. I have recently been readmitted to Hospital twice to have blood given, after major heart surgery in June. Doctors have taken me off Rivaroxiban and aspirin whilst they investigate further. Endoscopy didn't show anything. Due to have colonoscopy soon. It is a scary time so heart goes out to you both.

No nasties but lost a lot of blood hope all goes well for you ,

Feel for you. Good to get him home but if you are like me, a degree in bei g anxious not easy. OH ( in permanent AF,valvular disease,2MIs) just had hernia repair. Think I feel worse than he seems to. He was on aspirin and warfarin until I queried it with his history of hiatus hernia and indigestion some time back. GP stopped aspirin but now I have concerns about his stents. Hey ho.

[Mazza23]

He is still on aspirin but he also has stent

Hope your husband is feeling better Mazzini. Very scary indeed for you both.
