Dabigatran and retinal bleeding
The GP said that
anticoagulants
can cause retinal bleeding. I would like to ask a cardiologist to reduce my Dabigatran dose to 140 mg, but I was discharged from cardiology 4 years ago, as my AF is stable a d the electrophysiologist had retired.

Suspected dvt
Hi all I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. I’ve not wrote on here before but looking for a bit of advice and hopefully reassurance. I’m currently 16 + 4 weeks and today got admitted to hospital with a suspected dvt following a doctors appointment about a swollen calf. I’m so worried but know

Hi
It sounds as if you are having a bad time. I don't have restless leg syndrome although I do have a vascular blockage in one leg and osteo-arthritis. A couple of years ago it was so bad that after walking 2 or 3 hundred yards my leg felt as though it would explode and I had to stop and rest it. My

Dabigatran or Apixaban?
I notice that a lot of AF patients on this forum mention Apixaban as their anticoagulant as opposed to Dabigatran (as I take ) or other NOACs. Has anyone been told Apixaban is a better option for AF sufferers? I asked for Dabigatran as it was the only NOAC with a reversal agent at the time.

My Soul Mate is fighting for his life!
My husband was admitted on November 1, with covid pneumonia. On November 10, he was intebated and put on vent on high sedation. They struggled weaning him because he bucked the vent. His lungs began to fill with blood clots, so we agreed to try an aggressive approach and use blood thinners. On

Coronavirus vaccine FAQs
Is the vaccine safe for people taking blood thinners like warfarin or other
anticoagulants
? Like most vaccines, the coronavirus vaccine is injected into the muscle of your upper arm. As with any injection, there is some risk of bleeding.

Why the pressure to take blood thinners?
A GP tried to frighten the life out of me so that I would take Rivaroxaban before I had turned 65 when my Chads2vasc score was 0 and according to the guidelines the risk of taking thinners outweighed the benefits. Now I'm 65 my score is 1 and whether I take them is 'optional but every doctor speaks

COVID vaccine information for APS patients
If you are taking
anticoagulants
such as aspirin, clopidogrel, heparin, rivaroxaban and warfarin you will not be considered more vulnerable as these drugs do not suppress the immune system.
