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.

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.

Dental surgery
Hi everyone, I've been taking
Pradaxa
for about two and half weeks and today was told I need surgery to remove a molar. I'm not concerned about the procedure because having AFib is far worse. I spoke to nurse at EP office about when to stop the
Pradaxa
and she was vague.

Unexpected Pregnancy with APS
I've been switched (first call was to my hematologist) from
Pradaxa
to Lovonox shots. My husband doesn't know yet because he's at work. I start law school next year. I'm worried about everything but also about how to tell him. We had agreed not to have kids. Now this.

How high is too high for HR
One issue in taking two doses a day is that the veraprimil must be taken at least two hours after the
Pradaxa
which makes for a scheduling nightmare.

BLOOD CLOTTING?!
I am on
Pradaxa
, was wondering if the blood once it has been released from the vein/artery does clot a lot quicker due to it being thinned out so much in the system?

Reversal drug for those on Dabigatran.
Idarucizumab (Praxbind) is a monoclonal antibody that reverses the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran (
Pradaxa
) in patients who require emergency surgery or have life-threatening bleeding. This was news today in Oz.

Was put on cardizem, Flecainide and
Pradaxa
. Flecainide dose was increased following continued AFIB activity. Following a month break from any AFIB event, AFIB came roaring back in early February resulting in another ER visit.

Dentist and Apixaban
I was on
Pradaxa
for over a year with no problems and then my GP decided to change me to Apixaban just to give it a try I think. Seems to be ok the main difference I can see is it does not look as good the packing is cheap by comparison
Pradaxa
looks a lot more expensive.

Pradaxa
I can start to take Flecanaide as PIP.

Impending surgery
I have been instructed to stop taking
Pradaxa
2 days prior to surgery. I read a post here last week concerning the low risk for a couple of days but am now wondered if wearing flight socks would be of any benefit to me or a hindrance?

Meds vs Ablation
Additionally, cardiologist increased my dose of Flecaninide by 50% to 75 mg, twice per day (150 mg in total) and recommended I go back on
Pradaxa
even though my Chad score is zero (I am a fit 60 year-old who exercises daily with no heart disease).
