Hi Every one, Since I have been taking Edoxaban I have on occasion felt a strange tingling in my fingers and occasional very slight dizziness except when I am out running, also when taking my pulse which is low due to my fitness training I find every 5 pulses it seems to miss a beat yet otherwise I feel good and well. All suggestions wellcome

Edoxaban side affects
Hi Lixaian, When I was prescribed Edoxaban, I felt extremely tired and light-headed. After a few months where I felt my quality of life was continuously impaired, my GP suggested I change to Apixaban.
I then checked with my EP and he explained that some anticoagulants agree with some people and not others and supported the change.
I changed to Apixaban and within 48hrs lost the dizzy spells and tiredness. That was 10 months ago and I haven’t noticed any side effects on Apixaban and lost the dizzy spells and super tiredness.
It might be worth speaking with your GP or consultant about a change. (There’s nothing to lose as they are equally efficient, its just finding the medication that suits you best). Apparently, some people fare better with Edoxaban, It can be trial and error to find the best medication for you.
Good luck 😊
Hi Lixaian, I too shudder this tingling in my fingers such that I lose all dexterity but I am told it will pass??
