My iron and Ferretin levels have always been really good. I have been taking Xarelto for 10 months, and my levels are 50% what they were before starting AC. My primary thinks is has to do with the Xarelto and is scheduling me for testing with my GI dr. Should I stop taking the xarelto until my testing is over. My primary doesn't understand why i still need to be on DOAC if my afib is gone (had a successful PFA in March). She also is thinking that the risks from the blood thinner are greater than stroke risk. Is there any documentation available on this? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,196811#msg-196811 Tue, 28 Jul 2026 14:01:13 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,197469#msg-197469 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,197469#msg-197469 Any idea what can be causing this extreme fatigue?]]> Dini AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 12 Oct 2024 17:13:59 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,197033#msg-197033 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,197033#msg-197033 Dini AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 25 Aug 2024 01:51:26 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,196842#msg-196842 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,196842#msg-196842 Elizabeth AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 07 Aug 2024 20:18:13 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,196813#msg-196813 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,196813#msg-196813
And to answer your question, yes, there are studies showing that not being actively in afib doesn't mean you don't need anticoagulation. It's not as simple as your PCP (and most people) think. Having afib predisposes you to clot formation even when you're not in afib, which is why the CHADS-Vasc score is so important.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 03 Aug 2024 02:48:55 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,196811#msg-196811 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196811,196811#msg-196811
