My Ticagrelor was stopped just over a week ago after a year. Has anyone else out there had a twingey chest ?

How twingey? I still get aches and pains from CPR injury 18 months on and it makes me very paranoid, it was worse as I was coming off the Ticagrelor because I was sure it was keeping me alive. My docs advice is always take paracetamol rather than feel anxious, and if it gets serious “I’ll know”... 🤪

Not sure what you mean twingey? My Ticagrelor was stopped after 12 months which was planned. I have had no problems in fact I feel better. Every case is different and you should seek medical advice before changing anything.

Good luck stay safe

I came off it a year ago and can't remember any symptoms like that. I was heartily glad to come off it due to the bruising.

Yes I have been off ticagrelor a week now and am suffering with strange feelings in my chest. Although glad to be off it still have cocerns

Odd isn’t it? Possibly veins getting used to thicker blood? Impossible to contact cardiologist andmy GP has no idea! I am

Keeping my fingers crossed- must stay away from hospital at any cost!

I just read your post and it was a bit of a lightbulb moment. I came off ticagrelor in July last year. In mid August I started having palpitations occasionally then by September I was having palpitations most days. Various tests found nothing. Palpitations suddenly stopped after 3 months. It was frustrating to have no explanation. This may just be the reason?
