Bloody noses

Hello

Anyone else on anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy? I take warfarin and Brilinta both and just had an outrageous bloody nose that landed me in the hospital on Saturday. I'm still so weak and dizzy 5 days later. Anyone else struggle with those?

Thanks!

Patti

It does happen with some people sometimes, I had one but many many years ago. Have you got the GP to test your Iron lately, if you have had heavy blood loss it would be a good idea, also to check your D and B12 at the same time. Are you due to see your main Hughes Syndrome/APS consultant? It would be an idea to check in with them, unless you saw them in the hospital. MaryF

I'm on both and yes occasionally have nose bleeds or easily bleed if I cut myself. Nothing as major as you've been through.

As Mary says worth checking your bloods? Also worth speaking to your specialist, your meds may need adjusting.

I had just been to see my hematologist five days before and I do have iron deficiency anemia as well. First I am having an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy to look for occult bleeding. If nothing turns up then she said I may need IV iron infusions. I no longer have an APS provider. My hematologist is the closest I have. Nobody helps manage my symptoms anymore. Kinda on my own until I find someone assuming I do. ;(

Not what you're looking for?
