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

Restless Legs and blood thinners?
Can restless legs and very low feritin be caused by taking blood-thinning medication and having taken it for a long time? It may be necessary to avoid blood clots in the brain due to atrial fibrillation and flutter. And what do you do if this is the case?I live in Denmark and neither general practitioners

Heart Attack at 38
Hi, I first posted on the thyroid board but was sent here to check with the knowledgeable people here. At the end of January I had a heart attack. The doctors said it was due to taking T3 for my thyroid but I’ve read a lot of conflicting information as to whether T3 would cause this or not and the

High platelets update….opinions please…..
Just a recap on my situation… 52 year old female under the care of a Haematologist for the last 2 years for platelets over 450. My latest platelet count is 486, the lowest it’s been since referral, prior to that 550-600. Negative for the three main genes. Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy all clear. Do have

Stopping PPI?
Hello everyone, I'm approaching a year post Nstemi with one stent and thus the end of ticagrelor hourray! What I am wondering is if I am then down to aspirin as the only blood thinner (plus ezetimibe and atorvastatin long term but hopefully not much longer on bisoprolol and ramipril ) do I still need

Apixaban side effects?
My cardiologist changed my anticoagulant form Edoxaban to Apixaban a few weeks ago as I was having digestive issues on the former. (He also doubled my Flecainide which is leading to constipation but I guess that’s a different issue 🤦♀️) Anyway - I have started quite suddenly with very painful joints

Diltiazem side effects.
Does anyone know if diltiazem effects the bladder. I have started getting a sore feeling bladder and have been on diltazem for about 4 years and a blood thinner rivaroxaban. It might be time for some alternative if its that.Thanks, Colin

How long for platelets to go back up?
Hello Since the start of my husband's cirrhosis journey last August, with a variceal bleed, his platelets went as low as 2700. Since then they rose to 6000 at one point and are now back down to 5000. I thought they would have gone much more by now but he is also on blood thinners because he has portal

hi, On here about my mum again. She is suffering really bad with acid reflux. She hasn’t had chemo for 4 weeks but they did attempt debulking surgery which didn’t work. So we are not sure if it’s something to do with the blood thinners or she’s worried it is the cancer. has anyone else suffered
