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 ?

Blood pressure warning
It was confirmed and I am waiting to be prescribed
anticoagulants
. It’s another thing for me to get neurotic about. The sane part of me, which is becoming increasingly less knows that 30% of those over 80 have it and I also know that friends on this forum are also sufferers.

Ticagrelor. Is it causing my bleeding?
Anyone else on Ticagrelor blood thinners? If so, are you having any issues? I have started to experience blood collecting at the back of the throat, mainly at night, but today it’s been on and off every time I’ve moved! My wife managed to see a pharmacist this morning, who seemed to suspect that it’s

Alcoholic mouth washes and heart surgery
This morning I had my routine six-monthly session with a dental hygienist who detected that I'd been using a mouthwash and cautioned me against overuse and certainly not continuously - not for more than a week. I [i]think [/i]that this might have been in relation to my TAVI heart operation last July
