[Golfinglegend500]

My husband takes Edoxaban 60mgs daily he hasn’t been great since starting these.His HB went down to 12.9 he very occasionally has double vision and occasionally dizzy feeling at different times.GP not concerned but I’m worried all other blood tests perfect. Has anyone else experienced this. Thank you. Janice

Hi Janice

Does the HB in your post stand for heartbeat? If so do you have the number right, only I think that someone would surely be unconscious with a heartbeat that low.

Also is your husband taking any other medication?

I agree with Jean - something wrong there. Normal heart rate should be somewhere between 60-120, sometimes lower but if lower than 50 ish then you should be seeing your doctor as soon as possible.

Occasional double vision can be caused by numerous things as will dizziness. Is he taking any other meds as my prime suspect would be something he may have been prescribed to lower his heart rate?

Double vision and dizziness should always be taken very seriously by your GP so if it continues - go back and keep going back until you find answers. Note very carefully when these symptoms occur, what he was doing just prior, what times of day, what he had eaten - note any other symptoms.

These symptoms are unlikely to be caused by the anticoagulants but we all react very differently to any substance.

Let us know how you get on.
