- Xarelto and Eliquis compete for the same patients. These oral anticoagulants appear useful in reducing the risk of stroke associated with atrial fibrillation. They also minimize the risk for deep vein thrombosis and blood clots capable of traveling to the lungs as sometimes fatal pulmonary emboli. Unfortunately the once daily Xarelto might not provide round the clock protection. Serious concerns exist regarding its merits compared to other similar drugs.
I learned a lot from this video, I felt like it was an old friend talking to me. I live in the UK and I am on Xarelto 10mg a day and there is evidence of regular bleeding when I go to the toilet. It took 7 doctor's appointments and 3 cardiology appointments, various blood tests, chest x-ray, echo cardiogram, 48 hour halter test, lung capacity test etc over two years before finally getting a CT scan which revealed a swollen right side of the heart, a blood clot in the right lung, a nodule in the left lung and an aneurysm near my spleen. The nodule has been re-scanned and is stable, the aneurysm is due another scan in 2025, I am now being looked after by the respiratory department and awaiting further tests to determine why I am so breathless and unable to walk more than a few meters and climb a few stairs without gasping like a fish out of water. I am 74 years old had the vaccine in February 21 and been going down hill ever since, I also had covid in 2021. Our health system is great but is becoming totally overwhelmed with the sheer number of sick patients and new arrivals to the country.
Thanks a lot. Very illuminating.
I’ve been dealing with a-fib for a long time. Two months ago my heart went into persistent a-fib. Cardiologist told me to start Xarelto 20 mg once a day with food to prevent blood clots that can cause a stroke. My heart’s left atrial appendage was completely removed during a mini-maze operation 8 years earlier. So I asked where inside my heart can a blood clot form. The cardiologist then told me that the insurance company will not pay for my care if I’m not taking Xarelto. I thought to my self, “Why not just tell me that at first instead of trying to mislead me”.
My doctor put me on Xarelto for 10.5 months to deal with a blood-clout in my leg. I recently had a ultrasound and they said it wasn’t there anymore. Today is my last day taking this drug.
How have you been since off? Any issues?
Well, not related to this medication, but I did get COVID while in the hospital.
Markinpuff ugh no. I hope you’re doing better. I’m sorry to hear that.
After getting off Xarelto did you feel any heaviness in your leg or are you doing fine now ?
@@Peter_Gazer I’m fine in that regard, still dealing with other strange elements of post-Covid life.
What are possible symptoms of bleeding while using Xarelto?
Symptoms of potentially serious bleeding can vary, but they may include:
any bleeding that’s severe, lasts a long time, or won’t stop
frequent nosebleeds
unusual bleeding from your gums
unexpected vaginal bleeding or menstrual bleeding that’s heavier than usual
blood in your urine, which may be red, pink, or brown in color
blood in your stool, which may be red or black in color, or look like tar
vomiting blood, which may be red or pink in color, or look like coffee grounds
coughing up blood that looks like coffee grounds
severe headache
dizziness, which could be a sign of low blood pressure that’s caused by internal bleeding
joint pain
pain, swelling, or bleeding at any wounds
Doctor, I'm over 70 years old and i have been taken xarelto for over 10 years. Is it wise to increase the dose; thanks.
I’ve been on xerelto for years because I’ve had two i idiopathic clots My question is xerelto the medication I should be taking because from all indications I have to be on it for life. I don’t have a fib. Thank u
But if you have to take frequent blood tests and doctor visits with warfran I would argue the cost is much higher than you present. I was prescribed Xarelto but my next followup isn't for 6 months.
