Feeling cold
I am on Nebivolol (beta blockers) 5mg morning and 5mg evening to slow heart rate down and also blood thinners. I have felt absolutely freezing through the cold weather. Far colder than any other member of my family and colder than any other year we have had freezing weather. I got particularly cold

stopping blood thinners for medical procedure
I’m expecting to have a steroid facet joint injection for super painful sciatica caused by bulging disc. To do this, I have to stop blood thinners a week before the procedure so that I don’t bleed into the joints. No problem stopping Ticagrelor, though I’m getting conflicting messages from different

Viagra and AF
I am a fit and active 74 year old with paroxysmal AF. My wife and I still enjoy an active sex life. However in the last couple of years I have started getting problems maintaining a strong erection sufficient for penetrative sex. Sometimes I am ok but other times not so. Is Viagra safe and not likely

Tale of woe, sort of
I've been on ticagerol 90 and other meds (bisoprolol, aspirin, Losartan, etc) since my heart attack in May 2021, with second stent inserted via rotablation in Nov 2021. The surgeon said to continue the blood thinners for a year. I was originally treated at Luton and Dunstable hospital (L&D), and the

AF review funded by Bayer - updated 30th Aug
UPDATE- I had the phone call today and it was as expected, they wanted to discuss changing me from Warfarin to one of the new
anticoagulants
. I explained that I have a genetic bleeding disorder and have been advised to stay on Warfarin, end of phone call.

Relation between reduction on blood thinning meds and reduction in GFR at the same time.
My GFR dropped to 51 after finishing my chemo and a change from anticoagulant injections to 10 mg per day apixaban 2 years ago. Had a DVT whilst undergoing chemo even though i tried to stay active. Four months ago my apixipan was reduced again to 5mg a day. My GFR has gone down to 41 not long after

Another covid question Re blood clotting/high risk
So. It's finally got me... At the moment, it just feels like flu with a bad chest (not terrible, just raspy and sore). I'm 4 vaccinated so hopefully it doesn't get wildly worse. But I'm only on day 2 and obviously panicking about the risks of it getting severe. I am struggling to understand exactly what

Dad has brain cancer, heart issues, and now PSA has increased. Concerned about medication complications..
He is on several medications for afib, blood pressure, and
anticoagulants
. Presently, he is not on any medications for his lymphoma. Can anyone fill me in on what could potentially be a next step in his treatment as well as potential interactions with his current medications?

Fingers bruising easily on anticoagulants
I take apixaban and sometimes get bruises on my fingers. They are no trouble and disappear much faster than the average bruise (o ddly) usually within 48 hours. Sometimes I remember putting light pressure on the finger other times not. Any thoughts?

Stroke risk?
My CHA2Ds2-VASC score is 0, but I think I'd prefer to take an anticoagulant (probably Apixaban).
