Burst blood vessel on Rivaroxaban

[Loveswimmimg]

Hi, I’m taking Rivaroxaban and I’ve just noticed a purple swelling just next to my left eye, looks like a burst blood vessel. I haven’t knocked it or anything like that, I’ve just been indoors all day. Has anyone else had anything like this and is it something I should report to the doctor? I hate being on this drug and I’m terrified of getting a serious bleed. Thanks.

Hi I have just started taking the same tablet . A note on the prescription box says after 3 months have right eye checked for blood. I think it's one of the side effects. contact your Dr .

This isn’t actually in the eye, it’s a bruise around the eye socket, like a black eye. Looks like someone’s taken a punch! Or the eyeshadow slipped...
