Rivaoxiban

After two ablations I continued to take Rivaoxiban and although my AF improved I had bouts of palpitations. Difficult to measure but with a resting heart rate around 80 BPM.

Due to a low haemoglobin level I was told to stop taking them, although early days (a month) it appears to have cured my palpitations. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with Rivaoxiban?

I have taken rivaroxiban for 3 years now after a successful ablation in 2017. Apart from annoying ectopics which improved after taking magnesium turate. I have no trouble at all.

If your ablation was Successful suggest you don’t require Rivaoxiban? May be worth contacting your doctor they appeared to be the cause of my ectopic beats?

Thanks for your comment!!
