Tattoo...too much?
Hi,Has anyone had a tattoo post HA? If so, was the fact that you took aspirin and issue? I'm plucking up the courage to have my first (just a small one), but maybe it's not encouraged if you are on blood thinners? Thanks

For what it's worth, apixaban is taken twice daily as it has a shorter half- life than those medications taken once daily. This means it doesn't stay in the body for as long as medication taken once daily. So perhaps that may influence the choice of anticoagulant. If there is a problem with a bleed,

11dp5dt bfp but spotting
Hi looking for reassurance or anyone with a similar story. I’m currently 11dp5dt and have had positive tests since day 5 which I’m very happy about. However today I noticed a bit of light brown discharge and then half an hour later wiped away dark red blood. There was loads of it but enough to make me

Eye injections and blood thinners
I've been getting injections for 5 years now. Now I am faced with eliquis. I had a pulmonary embolism and now have to take blood thinners. I don't know what to do.

A “success story” , finally.
I have been suffering the effects of AF plus the negative side of the meds for many years. Fortunately, after taking me two years considering the last option I went ahead. And in July 2023 I have a pacemaker insertion then in November had the AV Node ablation. It was needed a few weeks/months to deal

anticoagulation fear
Hi! I started on anticoagulation in August. I started with apixaban 5 mg twice a day. I got very bad intermittent chest pains that worried me from the medicine that I never had before. Then I got gastritis. the doctor switched me to half dose to see if I could tolerate that and the same thing happened

Post Ablation
Good morning, This is a long one so Thankyou if you get to the end! I had my 3rd Ablation last Thursday 18th Jan at St Bart’s . It was a fairly complex one and resulted in going from sedation to a general anesetic during procedure. I had an overnight stay and was discharged Friday afternoon. I was

Diarrhoea and blood thinners continued
In my previous post I asked if anyone else had diarrhoea from taking blood thinners. It seems that quite a few of you do. I have just consulted the PIL for edoxaban. There is NO mention anywhere about diarrhoea in the list of side effects. I suggest that if you are sure your diarrhoea is related to your

Help!! Severe aortic valve regurgitation
Hi there, I am a 53 year old lady with severe aortic valve regurgitation. I had decided to have the resilia tissue valve as I did not want to be on long term medication/blood thinners and I bruise very easily and am rather accident prone. When I saw the surgeon he said I would need to take aspirin

Stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation?
I’ve been on clopidogrel (Plavix) for one year after a drug eluting stent was placed in my significantly blocked LAD (aka widow maker artery) 2/23. I’m wondering if the following is true or not, and what your experience has been with stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation? Because

Blood thinners and diarrhoea
Hi, I've been on blood thinners since about 2012. I have had slowly increasing problems with morning diarrhoea since then. I was on apixaban but was changed to edoxaban for safety reasons on the advice of the GP's pharmacist. No change noted. I've been trying to track down the cause of my diarrhoea,

pulse
had stent fitted last week . Have been on blood thinners and statin since , but wasn’t told to carry on with beta blockers or nitrate tabs . My pulse at the moment is only 59 which is low ish for me without beta blockers . Does this mean the stents not working properly ?
