Thudding heart!
Hello. I'm hoping that those with more experience can help me! I have just been diagnosed with Atrial Flutter with rapid ventricular response and given bisoprolol 2.5mg as well as blood thinners. So, now my heart rate and blood pressure are within normal parameters - but I have a very "thuddy" feeling

Low haemoglobin and Edoxaban
My haemoglobin levels have gone low does anyone have any knowledge if this is due to Edoxaban blood thinners. Is there an alternative to Edoxaban. I’ve had 4 episodes of AF over the past 2 years lasting about 5 hours. thanks Joan United Kingdom

Might be diagnosed with Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS)
Hi I previously in January 2023 was diagnosed with PE, the past year has been difficult and long and knowing I was on blood thinners adoxaban forever as the heamotogist advised originally in January 23 was killing me, as I have heard that blood thinners are rat poison and can get internal bleeding.

microblading
I need advice on whether eyebrow microblading is safe if taking 10 mg Rivaroxiban daily. Therapist won’t do it if you are on blood thinners unless deemed safe by a doctor. Does anyone know?

Alternative to Naproxen
Good morning all, hope you are coping well. I recently had surgery for Spinal Stenosis in my lower back, but on coming out of hospital developed a dvt in my leg. Due to this blood clot I have been put on Rivaroxaban (blood thinners). Because of this blood thinner I have had to come off of Naproxen (

Eliquis and surgery
I will have to go off my Eliquis for several days prior to having surgery on one of my eyes. I am terrified that I may go into AF while off it. Has anyone had to go off their anticoagulant for surgery and had AF without it causing a stroke?

blood tests
hi lovely people, I was wondering if you could give me any advice. I’m relatively new to all of this and I’ve had a very bad experience at my last hospital. I was misdiagnosed most of last year with Complex Regional Pain disease. My rheumatologist wouldn’t even consider an autoimmune disease. Anyway

Hernia operation with permanent AF and apixaban as blood thinner. How can I minimise the dangers?
Has anybody else with permanent AF and who is on apixaban or similar faced treatment for an inguinal hernia as I have a number of serious concerns? I had a right sided hernia over a decade over when I was just taking aspirin and had mild paroxysmal AF, so I stopped the aspirin for the op which was of

Aspirin vs apixaban and other blood thinners
Has anyone here with atrial fibrillation been prescribed aspirin rather than other blood thinners like apixaban? I would rather take aspirin but my cardiologist prefers apixaban. It seems like there is research that goes both ways. My GP rolls his eyes and says opinion changes from year to year. I

Switching blood thinners
Help. I don't know what to do. Have the opportunity to switch from Edoxaban 60mg. To Apixaban 5mg twice. Day. What worries me is the 12 hour gap between taking the tablets. What if you forget or go over the 12 hours. Has anyone done that? Also which one is safest.

Migraine and trimethoprim
I recently suffered a urinary infection and GP prescribed trimethoprim. Three days into course I developed severe migraine with aura, feeling generally very unwell and increasing neck pain and stiffness. I persevered with tablets but migraine aura recurred every few hours and the pain was unbearable

Good hair day
I'm beginning to think the impact of poorer circulation due to persistent Afib was a factor as much as
anticoagulants
. 2. I'm not washing my hair more than twice a week and only using the dryer on a low heat. 3. I've got a good cylindrical hairbrush that is kind to tangles 4.

Flecainide without Beta-Blocker
Hello everyone. I am worried about my Husband and the choices being offered to him for the treatment of his AF and I would welcome members thoughts and opinions on the matter. My husband is 75. His heart history as follows. 1. Palpitations, attributed to short salvoes of supraventricular tachycardia
