xarelto I have been taking xarelto every single day since I went into permanent AF 3 years ago, yet I had a stroke last year at the end of May. I was taking 15 mg., I saw an EP today an he upped my dose of Xarelto to 20 mg., wondered why I got a stroke when taking Xarelto., I have wondered about that as well. Has anyone gotten a stroke while on a blood thinner.

Wow, your mom had AF for about the same lenght of time as me. We have a lot of people that get AF in this country.]]> Elizabeth AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 10 Apr 2024 03:50:40 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,195458,195537#msg-195537 Re: xarelto https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,195458,195537#msg-195537 It was protocol to take me to the ER and examine me, they kept me for observation overnight and did an MRI that revealed a micro-vascular lesion. The MRI also revealed 2 or 3 prior TIA's I had that I wasn't aware of.
All these occurred before I was taken any anticoagulant and had any ablation. I didn't like to take Coumadin and the weekly INR blood draws.

My mom had permanent afib for 20 years, we finally switched her to Xarelto at 89. I now recall it was 15mg, not 20mg as she was also small at 5'2".]]> McHale AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 07 Apr 2024 07:26:54 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,195458,195520#msg-195520 Re: xarelto https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,195458,195520#msg-195520
Yes, have been on 15 mg. of Xarelto for the last 3 years, perhaps the dosage is because, I am not a big person. I am 5' 2. and weigh about 125 lbs. and of course I am 90 years old. How did the stroke leave you, and are you OK now?

I am not aware that anyone HERE has had a stroke, although I seem to recall that one of us may have.

This forum has been in operation since 1999 and has about 5000 registered members, so I assure you that more than one have suffered strokes. I'm guessing the one you remember is Shannon, the other more senior editor here, since he's kind of prominent.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 03 Apr 2024 05:10:27 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,195458,195466#msg-195466 Re: xarelto https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,195458,195466#msg-195466
I am not aware that anyone HERE has had a stroke, although I seem to recall that one of us may have. Even so, the others will chime in soon enough with their own reports. I know for sure that it has happened here and there. Xarelto and Eliquis only nub the risk, they don't./can't eliminate the risk entirely.]]> gloaming AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 03 Apr 2024 03:56:49 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,195458,195458#msg-195458 xarelto https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,195458,195458#msg-195458
