Jobst Elvarex made to measure knee length socks
My local pharmacy can take an age with normal repeat medication, like statins and
anticoagulants
, so I'm wondering where the delay is. What is other people's experience of this?

Omega supplements blood thinners
Hi folks, Been having some eye issues recently requiring drops and my optician suggested taking omega supplements aswell. Read that you possibly shouldn’t take them if you’re on blood thinners? Anyone know if that’s the case? Much appreciated.

AF diagnosed this week scared
Hi I had to call ambulance Monday morning as my heart didn't feel right paramedics said it was AF and went to hospital. Berm given betablocker and blood thinners while waiting for an appointment with heart specialist. I keep reading things and I am convinced this will kill me and can't help being scared

Disappearing AF.
A couple of years ago my pacemaker picked up episodes of AF . At the time I was already taking 10 mg of rivaroxiban as a maintenance dose due to blood clots in my leg. The anticoagulant doctor was looking at me stopping the rivaroxiban at this time . But due to the AF the cardiologist obviously said

Wondering about my doctor
I had a phone call with my doctor today, during which she referred to Edoxaban as a 'blood thinner'. Now I'm seriously worried about her abilities... Is this a natural mistake for a doctor, is she just trying to dumb things down for me? She used the phrase a couple of times. I'm not quite sure what

Coagulation for Afib
I was diagnosed with P. Afib two years ago and have avoided taking blood thinners. After recently having an EP study and cardioversion the cardiologist wants to put me on Redoxaban as I refused to take Eliquis. I have a pathological fear of taking blood thinners. At the sign of blood I would have to

It all started with a purple toe!
I've had high cholesterol for more than twenty years and although I've been prescribed statins, have never continued taking them until recently when I developed a purple toe. The doctor was concerned it was an embolism and I was sent for several tests and to see a consultant. It appears from an ECG

What is wrong with these drs?
He said "why aren't you on
anticoagulants
?" "My EP said I don't need it at my age and with how little I get AF."

Thrombus at a young age - potential ASD or PFO
Hello all, Had a heart attack in my 30s this year but my arteries weren’t blocked. MRI found a thrombus in the left ventricle and evidence of apical MI. Only had mild heart disease and some evidence of pericarditis. The thrombus is thankfully gone but they also seem to suggest the Apical MI has gone

Spontaneous Subdural Hematoma
I am 58 years old. A few months I started to develop headaches and neck pain that gradually increased in severity. I eventually went to the ER and was diagnosed with a minor subdural hematoma (SDH) based upon a CT Scan and was sent home for follow-up with a neurosurgeon. I have had no recent head

Coagulant advise
I have P. Afib, The Cardiologist wants to put me on Redoxaban but I have a pathological fear of taking blood thinners. At the sign of blood I would have to stop them. And I've read that it's dangerous to stop as it can cause clots and also Ischaemic strokes. Also it causes palpitations which is what

blood thinner easiest on stomach
Hi! I have been on Eliquis(apixaban) and just a half dose because of my sensitivities to get me used to it for seven weeks. I have a lot of stomach upset and discomfort and nausea on and off and lots of gas and it’s hard to think of living in daily discomfort for the rest of my life on this blood thinner

Taking meds abroad
I will be travelling abroad soon (back to UK from Japan). I am on an anticoagulant and my doctor has said he can give me some meds for a PIP just in case. Do you need to show anything at customs or have proof of what drugs are in order to take prescription meds abroad.? I have a prescription notebook

Anemia
Anyone developed anemia as a result of heart medications? Lansaprazole and blood thinners apparently the culprits. Also because not eating enough red meat apparently and too much wholegrain and nuts which is what I thought I was supposed to I be doing! Pretty fed up about this. After making a reasonable

Low iron levels with a heart condition
Pre heart condition (pre 2021) my iron levels had always been really good (around 140 ug/L) but since then they've dropped massively (currently 32 ug/L). To make matters worse, I unfortunately had a bowel bleed in February 2023 resulting in need a blood transfusion. I was put on ferrous sulphate for
