Experiences with

Anticoagulants

For AF, LAA Rivals Anticoagulants After Ablation A left atrial appendage (LAA) closure device provides long-term thromboembolic protection that is equivalent to direct oral anticoagulants after ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), along with a lower risk of bleeding, according to the multicenter,

I have liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension and a few small varacies..but took a stroke last year and was put on anticoagulants due to AF Was curious if anyone else is on anticoagulants that have varacies and portal hypertension!

a couple of months ago I switched from Edoxaban to Apixaban but night mares have caught up with me again. Is Rivaroxaban likely to be a better option? Last two nights I've woken from stressy dreams with tachycardia ... which soon calms down with deep breathing etc. I'd be very grateful for any

I love ginger but read that you shouldn’t take it when on anticoagulants. I’m on edoxaban (soon to be changed to apixaban) and wonder if I can drink a ginger cordial safely? thanks in advance. Mary.

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

(auto immune desease) I was wondering what strong pain tablets people take on here as I am unable to take anti inflammatory tables as I am on anticoagulants and bisoprolol. I currently take tramadol and paracetamol which does work . Heather

Is anyone else on beta blockers but not anticoagulants?

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?

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.

Hello. I'm looking for studies or other dependable references to guide me in the decision to continue anticoagulant therapy or choose a non-pharmaceutical approach, Chinese medicine. My CHAD score is low, 2. I'm female, 72, living in Canada. i've been on Eliquis for 3 years or so. And i'm starting

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?

I have been on anticoagulants since 2013 for AF. On Nov 30th after a very stressful week ( my husband is awaiting triple bypass and aortic valve replacement. and was admitted twice and sent home twice, still waiting) I had a stroke. I take my apixaban religiously.

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

My huge concern is I will have to continue to take anticoagulants for the first, to minimise risk of blood clots, so I will obviously bleed more and not heal so quickly when pacemaker fitted. He says I may have to stay in hospital 2 or 3 days.

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.

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.

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.

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