Recovery after Mitral Valve Replacement
A week since discharged from hospital after MVR. Healing well in general. 14 days since the actual operation. For example my breathing is much better and I can even sleep on my back. Although i hear the ticking sound of the mechanical valve it stopped bothering me after the first day. INR levels playing

Apixaban subconjunctival haemorrhage
After taking Apixaban for about three weeks I have a very red left eye; it looks like a subconjunctival haemorrhage is on the way. This is the third time that this has happened after taking an anticoagulant; the three weeks is the longest period I have managed without this occurring. I have read that

Migraine & Blood Thinners
Hello All, I have recently found out that my replacement aortic valve which I had fitted in 2017 is not performing well. The cardiologist I have seen says this is possibly due to a clot over the valve and has put me on Apixaban which I tolerated for one week having had four classic migraines with aura

A worrying problem
Hi everyone. I am new here but maybe you could advise me on a worrying condition. All treatment has failed but now the oncologist has told me that the 2 tumors in the breast may come through the skin and if they do i will bleed a lot as i am on blood thinners. Has this happened to any of you please?

5th BFN - what next?
Unfortunately my 5th transfer ended in a BFN again. 5 failed implantations. I threw everything at this one and don’t feel like I’ve left anything uncovered. Curious to see if anyone might have recommendations of another test / something to do differently? What I’ve done: - PGS tested embryo - ERA

Asking for a friend -
Good afternoon everyone. I wondered if anyone could recommend an EP in the Deeside/north Wales area. I am trying to help out a friend who is too shy to come on here and ask herself. Diagnosed AFIB and I believe a flutter. But been waiting 8 months to see a cardiologist, so she doesn't really know

I have a favor to ask of everyone.
I have always been a person to see the glass half full. Someone who believes in the power of positive thinking and that good old law of attraction. You know, like the days when you’re running late for work and you hit every red light and your whole day seems to follow suit. Or the days you hit all those

Update on Cryoablation 3 weeks ago.
After being extremely nervous about the ablation I finally had it done and it really wasn't that big a deal. I was totally knocked out so do not remember anything and felt fine when I woke up. The next day I noticed my neck and chest/stomach area felt just a little sore, almost like I did too many sit-ups

Why is my incision still draining?
On November 18th I had back surgery, an L3-L4 laminectomy, and an L4-L5 discectomy. Everything went like clockwork for the first two weeks or so, then the incision started to drain. Not so much at first, then it started draining so much serosanguinous fluid, I was forced to use feminine napkins to

Pradaxa Ahead Of Scheduled Cryo Ablation
I have been scheduled for my first Cryo Ablation in March for my paroxysmal AF and my EP wants me to start taking Pradaxa 30 days before. My Cardiologist has had me on Aspirin for the past 2-3 years. My ChadVas score was 1 but for the past year is 2 and I've never taken a blood thinner before. My question

Then a week later I had a CT scan. A phone call came re the colonoscopy . As I am on blood thinners she said I would

The Scratch & NK Cells Treatment
I was just wondering what everyone's views are on getting the scratch during IVF? I'm also having treatment this time for NK cells. Did anyone have side effects from steroids and blood thinners? Thanks 🙂

Levo and anticoagulants
I have Hashimoto disease which I have had since 18 years of age. I do not take any medication for it as my thyroid function test is normal. However I am due to have thyroidectomy soon and wondered whether the medication I am prescribed for the replacement of thyroid will upset my anticoagulant medication
