Decided on an ablation
I am also on
Pradaxa
which a tolerate quite well. I'm having more frequent episodes though and am worried that it's only going to get worse. Elected today to have an ablation because I don't want to go on anti-arrithmics and be on these powerful meds for the rest of my life.

Pradaxa (Dabigatran)
Hi, I have had AF diognosed approx 20 years ago, having just turned 65 I have been put on the anticoagulant
Pradaxa
. Within a couple of weeks I experienced painful swollen knuckles in my hands and also aching elbow, shoulder and neck joints, it's hard not to think it is connected to the drug!

Pradaxa and urinary tract infection
I am experiencing my 5th urinary tract infection since starting
pradaxa
. Infections started 10 days after starting
pradaxa
150 MGM twice a day. I am 73 yo female, 120 pounds. I wonder if there is anyone else who has experienced this? I am on my 5th course of antibiotics.

Change of Meds after Gastric Bypass
Just changed from 2x 150mg
Pradaxa
to 2x 5mg Apixaban after a successful gastric bypass last Friday. The apiaban should react better. Anyone else changed from/to these meds?

Heart rate post exercise.
I will be weening off these meds in two to three weeks (while staying on
Pradaxa
) Overall my post ablation recovery involved no instances of AFIB, no noticeable ectopics, or other side effects that I experienced the first time around.

Warning on taking certain statins with dabigatran
This article warns about the use of dabigatran (
pradaxa
) with certain statins: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/872362?nlid=110900_3864&src=WNL_mdplsfeat_161129_mscpedit_card&uac=184041MK&spon=2&impID=1243710&faf=1 Apparently the effect of dabigatran is enhanced with lovastatin or simvastatin.

Beta blocker necessary?
I am on
pradaxa
and metaprolol half of 25 MGM twice a day. I have not taken the beta blocker for 3 days because I am out of town and forgot to take it with me and local pharmacy had trouble getting it. Anyhow after missing 3 days worth I think I feel better without it.

Uncontrolled bleeding events with Ibrutinib and in general
The newer blood thinning agents such as
Pradaxa
(Dabigatran) or Factor Xa blood thinners Xaralto (Rivaroxaban), Eliquis (Apixaban) & Savaysa (Edoxaban) may or may not have their own agents to reverse blood thinning.

Red spots
I'm taking Flecanaide and
Pradaxa
for PAF. Lately, I've been getting red spots on my arms. They are a bit raised and ugly! Does anyone on the forum suffer from these? I'm thinking they are related to the
Pradaxa
I started four months ago. Any info would be very much appreciated , Gracey

Pradaxa (Dabigatran) V's Warfarin
Hi all Just wondering if anyone has made the switch from Warfarin to
Pradaxa
? My GP says I could be a candidate for it and it could be more advantageous for me given my age and rather than having to monitor INR's all the time. I have APLS and SLE and have been on warfarin + plaquenil since 2005.

Re Dental Treatment.
I commented that my dentist and her hygienist are totally unfazed by me taking
Pradaxa
. I also said that for some reason she asks if I have taken steroids or been injected in the past 2 years. To-day I have asked her about this.

Confused - what exactly is AF?
I was diagnosed just a couple of months ago and put on
Pradaxa
and Bisoprolol. I have in the past had a few scary episodes when my heart rate varied between very rapid and slow thumpy beats. But I quite frequently got a simple raised heart rate, occasionally associated with some irregularity.

Ablation # 2
Went off meds after 3 months (except
Pradaxa
) to assess success of procedure and immediately went into AFIB which was captured while wearing an event monitor.

Hi, I'm taking
pradaxa
twice a day and 50mg metroporol twice a day. I feel a bit muzzy headed after after taking these. I'm also taking 8mg of perinderpril once a day which I have been taking for five or six years with no side effects. I think it's the metroporol which is giving me problems.

New to AF
So taking
Pradaxa
and Bisoprolol 1.25mg (mini dose). First off I find the latter turns me into a zombie. Spaced out is an understatement. So I take them only when the AF gets really bad.
