Experiences with

Anticoagulants

Anyone had experience with being offered anticoagulants? With me for atrial fibrillation. I'm worried about the bleeding risk of course.

I am on my second AC Edoxaban. I tried Rivaroxaban and got too much bloating stomach and lower abdo pain. Even after stopping it the pain took a long time to settle. The cardiac nurse didn't think it was the AC causing it as the symptoms didn't subside straight away but she agreed to let me try Edoxaban

When I was diagnosed with AF I was put on Anticoagulants (which I cannot tolerate). Has anyone else had bad experiences with Anticoagulants?

old and have had paroxysmal AF for 17 years ,pretty well controlled with medication.I do have episodes of AF but at the most last up to 3hrs.We are retired and when we go on a cruise holiday it can be 3/4 weeks at a time so I requested to my GP that I carry around a Pill in the Pocket arrangement for anticoagulants

A friend has advised I take chia seeds but I have been reading they need to be taken with caution when taking anti coagulants.Anyone know more about this please.

Has anyone heard recently of medics raising the danger of taking otcs regularly when on Anticoagulants, sometimes causing death from Pulmonary Embolisms or Deep Vein Thrombosis?

Really sorry for another post but I was feeling very ill on Edoxaban so GP switched to Apixoban and felt as bad if not worse! Shooting pains in head, flu-like feeling, breathlessness, swollen glands, depressed etc. Dreadful. think I am hypersensitive to them. Definitely the pills not flu or anything.

If you are on anticoagulants what platelet numbers do you have? Are any of you also on hydroxycarbamide too?

My cardiologist/EP (a Professor) is of the opinion that automatically giving a female a 1 score is outdated and after my ablation three weeks ago, he said when I see you in six weeks time, we will probably be able to take you off anticoagulants.

In 5 years of taking Apixaban 5mgs twice a day, I have never had any evidence of unusual bleeding. No bruising beyond expected, no nosebleeds after blowing my nose, no bleeding after having blood taken. I took warfarin before Apixaban and I had all of those with warfarin. So I wonder whether I may be

I noticed I had a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye this morning when shaving. Unfortunately, I had already taken my morning dose of apixaban before I noticed it. I couldn’t get a GP appointment even by phone. Does anyone know what the advice is in this case? Is it recommended to pause the

A couple of days ago there were posts on here about plasters helping to stop bleeding after a cut etc. if you are on blood thinners or anticoagulants. I am on apixaban, and did not know these plasters existed. So thank you.

Just a quick question , I just realised my surgery is closed today (silly me) and I can’t pick up my latest prescription until Tuesday . I will run out of my anticoagulant Edoxaban tonight so I won’t be able to take any for the next 3 days . I haven’t had an AF episode for the last 4 months and they

I did a post a few weeks ago ,regarding commencing anticoagulants on a regular basis,previously had a PIP arrangement.Well my GP got clearance from a Cardiologist at the local hospital ,so I was good to go.I already had a supply of Apixaban ,previously prescribed by another GP,so I didn't need another

Although I hate taking any medication, removing my anticoagulants ( no mention of Bisoprolol) is making me very nervous especially after having had a severe embolism. Any thoughts/advice? Sorry for rambling!!

Found a slight caution with warfarin but not anything to do with the newer anticoagulants. I know I can/should ask a pharmacist but wanted to know if anyone has any experience with them, good or bad. Many thanks.

I know they can interact with anticoagulants. I take Warfarin. Has anybody had any experience with warfarin and chia. it says on the net it doesnt mean no. But exercise caution. Presumably, it could raise my INR so I could monitor that quite easily.

Hi,I'm Jo, I'm 55 and three years ago I had an aneurysm in my aorta so had an Aortic Root & Valve replacement at Papworth. I have been on Warfarin ever since, but it's had it's problems. My INR levels are all over the place even though I'm careful what I eat etc. For 3 months I have been bleeding from

Hi I'm Jo,Three years ago I had an aortic aneurysm which resulted in a aortic root & valve replacement. I had a mechanical valve as I was 52, so I have been on Warfarin ever since. My Warfarin levels are rarely right, so have to have it adjusted regularly, but this is my concern. Three months ago I
