Having recently been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation I was put on Apixaban. Since then I'm so fatigued and just keep falling asleep. Is this normal?

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

It is fairly unlikely. Are you on any other medication?

Give your GP a call in the morning or do a eConsult this afternoon.

No I'm not on any other medication, so I'll give my GP a ring tomorrow. Thanks for your reply.

Hi I also have atrial flutter and diagnosed with a large PFO ( hole in the heart)

I am on bisoprolol which has helped but feel tired snd fatigue continuously

No it's not normal and I've never heard of it before on the forum, despite being on here for about 9 years.

All the best.

I must agree with others, I’ve been on Apixaban for years, it doesn’t make me tired. It could be your AF, I would see doc asap, good luck

It won't be the apixaban it will be the AF. It can be exhausting ☹️
