I have been advised to take this daily due to my CHADs vac score, age hypertension PAF and female!! I tried 2 others Rivaroxaban and Apixaban but they caused a few problems so hoped it would be 3rd time lucky. However I am now suffering severe indigestion and heartburn. Could this be a side effect or just my gut system?
I should mention I take Omeprazole daily but that isn’t doing much good so Gaviscon it is.

I've also changed to it from Apixaban. I'm also getting heartburn (mildly) but the feeling of nausea is the worst.
Hi bluemoon, at least I dont feel too sick, just the burping and back pain but I am now taking a Rennies heartburn product, you can chew or suck them. At least the heartburn is easing.My GP said try these and see if I can tolerate them, will give them a few more weeks.
Hope your sickness resolves.
All the best

Thank you John, I did wonder if it was the lasagne and a a merangue dessert we had on Sunday . I will try to watch my diet after this has settled down.By the way do you take your in the day or in the evening. I am taking mine around 7pm after my meal.

Had a review with a pharmacist at my surgery a few months ago and she said I was taking my omeprazole wrong and told me to take it on an empty stomach half hour before breakfast. Might be worth trying for you.
Hi
Well melted cheese with gall bladder problems is a real trigger. Too much fat
and then sugar and more sugar.
What a combination! That's it.

Watch your eating and ditch the anti-bloating and pain.
Hi, I was initially put on Apixaban but had stomach issues with it so now on Edoxaban 30mg which I take around 6am every morning. I do get issues with burping after meals but feel the burping is down to food as my etopics play up especially after eating. So perhaps the meds are not the cause?? I am staying on Edoxaban as I have problems taking medication in general so I'm relieved I can actually tolerate this anticoagulant.
Thanks, perhaps a morning dose would be better for me, will try that. The rennies and then liquid gaviscon before bed are settling things.
Im pleased you have found a way of settling things and hopefully taking Edoxaban in the morning will also help you.
Will try that and see if that helps, thanks John.
Hi
Phew taking 2 soothing meds may be contra to other meds.
Have you had your gall bladder checked? I produced acid plus so I had bowel to colon and mouth to stomach and then scan. It showed little balls.
Operated on to remove gal bladder - my G B had disintegrated! So I had an extra 2 portholes to remove bits from other nearby organs,
Havent looked back but stay on my low fat diet. Keep spicy foods down.
Otherwise I take a fruit after taking my anti-... or some frit juice. I do know folks who have indigestion with their anti....

Hi Cheri JOY, I have had a GB infection about 25 years ago which was treated with antibiotics and that has left it sensitive so I dont eat much that has fat otherwise it grumbles. I had an endoscopy in 2021 when I was having issues but nothing amiss was found 😊
Things are settling back so hopefully its just one a one off.
Trying taking Edoxaban in morning so it has the day to be absorbed.
Thanks for your reply, hope all is well with you.

Hi
Thanx for reply.
Gall Bladder issues resolved. Understanding not having a gall bladder is best.
I make a mental note of things not to touch like Butter Chicken, Chicken Fat and melted cheese and spicy food.
Getting over 2 fillings mouth and Dr changed my antibiotics.
After change within an hour so improved!
