Lixiana edoxaban problems

Any one suffering bad side affects with Lixiana edoxaban. I suffer with fatigue, occasional dizziness, tingling in my limbs and feet, muscle weakness and other minor affects. I now find that before being prescribed this medication one is supposed be injected with an injectable blood thinner for 5 to 10 days including kidney and liver checks. I had none of this. Question! when being prescribed Edoxaban did any one receive injections, kidney and liver checks!!!

Thankyou John, The info I obtained was from the NHS site, the side affects are affecting my quality of life in that I am used to being strong n fit but now I feel weak and suffer a feelings of fatigue which is hard for me being used to being exceptionally fit. But that's life. Keep well

Before I was prescribed Lucian a I was weighed and had blood test , to see if liver kidneys were ok.

I had swollen ankles and tingling in my legs. But I found out I was taking 1000mg omega 3 fish oil capsules. They thin your blood .ì stopped taking it and problem solved just check with your pharmacy if you are taking any other self medication

Nothing.....no tests, no monitoring! I was just told that I have to stop taking Warfarin because of current situation, as the surgery do not want to do INR checks putting both parties at risk! ( I am not entirely happy about this!,,,but have not any bad effects...so far!!)
