Eye laser surgery with antocoagulants

I checked online and nowhere it says that you can't do the laser surgery on anticoagulants, so I am positive, fingers crossed I am right 🤞

Refused anticoagulants

Anyway I was told by my EP that if an episode lasted more than 4 days I should start anticoagulants - and a letter was sent to my gps to that effect.

Angiogram and anticoagulants

I have to have an angiogram to determine whether I have angina or something like costachondritis. Will I need to stop taking Apixaban beforehand given that there is a risk of internal bleeding from the procedure? Is the procedure painful or uncomfortable?

Does anyone know if it is safe to take Olive Oil daily with anticoagulants? I can't get a straight answer on google. Thank you.

Lactoferrin and anticoagulants

I would like to take it as well, but I cannot find information on interactions between Lactoferrin and anticoagulants. Has any fellow sufferer taken it? Does anybody know about any research on the subject?

Update

There isn't even a bruise, and as I'm on anticoagulants, I do bruise easily. Very impressed, and I told her so! Now I have to wait a week until my phone consultation next Tuesday morning.

Sanjay Gupta and anticoagulants

If that is the case why are all women over the age of 75 with a base score of 2 on the ChadVasc index, (i.e. because of their age alone, even if they have no other risk factors and not even suffering from Afib), not on anticoagulants!!!

Advice please

I’ve started the anticoagulants and have in the past taken aloe Vera juice for my gerd which I’ve had a long time and also think is related to my episode of AF three weeks ago( my oesophagus spasmed).

phosphatidylserine Neuroprotective? Works with DHA , reduces insomnia

DO NOT take phosphatidylserine if you are taking anticoagulants (blood thinners), and use caution when combining it with ginkgo for the same reason. https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/condition/dementia Our studies have indicated that DHA supplementation promotes phosphatidylserine (PS) accumulation

LATERAL FLOW TESTS, ANTI COAGULANTS AND NOSE BLEEDS.

She told me that these tests can cause nose bleeds, which can be serious for people on anticoagulants. So, take care the next time you stick one of the LFT sticks up your nose!

Levo and anticoagulants

I have Hashimoto disease which I have had since 18 years of age. I do not take any medication for it as my thyroid function test is normal. However I am due to have thyroidectomy soon and wondered whether the medication I am prescribed for the replacement of thyroid will upset my anticoagulant medication

Questions on The Watchman.

For those not familiar, it's a device implanted near the heart to prevent stroke as an alternative to taking anticoagulants (I take Xarelto). I don't know if this procedure is common in the UK. Does anyone on the forum have the Watchman? Any comments and opinions on it would be appreciated.
