BLOOD RESULTS - HELP PLEASE
GP didn't do a great job of translating. My learned friends can probably do much better: ESR 5.8 CRP 5.0 LDL 3.89 HDL 1.89 TC 6.3 (should the LDL and HDL not add up) Triglycerides 1.48 Glucose 5 My BP is controlled with meds. I do not want to go on a statin. She wants me on one. What do you all think

Apixaban rash
Diagnosed with DVT 4 weeks ago and prescribed Apixaban for life. This is my 3rd DVT. No problems for weeks and then a rash, very itchy, has developed on upper chest and top of arms. Occasional clusters elsewhere too. Just looking for general comments please before seeking potential switch to warfarin

Taking K2 MK7
I’ve heard that taking K2 MK7 is good for your bones, but am not sure if it’s safe to take with Xarelto. Apparently it cannot be taken if prescribed to Warfarin but it’s unclear as to whether or not it’s safe with other anticoagulants. Can anyone clarify this for me?

Eliquis and surgery
I will have to go off my Eliquis for several days prior to having surgery on one of my eyes. I am terrified that I may go into AF while off it. Has anyone had to go off their anticoagulant for surgery and had AF without it causing a stroke?

DVT Pain moved leg
Hi My right leg was scanned for DVT as it was swollen. My left leg had had some pains but they ignored it cos it wasn’t swollen. I’ve now been on apixaban for 5 weeks and my right leg is still a bit swollen but pain wise is fine as long as I don’t do long or fast walks. My left leg is now very painful

Pradaxa. Benefits and problems
Been on Pradaxa since 2016. Seems to do the job, but having started on 150mg found that bleeding from the anus was very unpleasant. The doctor reduced the dose to 110mg and that solved the problem. Taking the tablet gave me a lot of wind, but drinking plenty of water solved that. Pradaxa terrifies dentists

Open heart surgery
I had my first meeting with the surgical team at Papworth yesterday . I’m now pencilled in for an aortic valve replacement in June. We discussed my AF , the effects of surgery on episodes after and anticoagulants . Interestingly they stated that oral anticoagulants reduce the risk of stroke by 60/70%
