Apixaban

when taking this tablet did anyone get increased chest pain and more breathing issues than any other blood thinning medication?

Hello my issues with this particular strength of this type of medication are muscle cramp mostly in legs, tiredness,and poor sleeping oh and a runny nose! no not a cold!. But worryingly I do pass blood occasionally and yes I have had all checks done on that. When discussing this with my GP I was told its that or stop the medication!.
Have you discussed the problem with your GP?.

I am no longer on this medication, I changed to injections my chest pains and breathing got much better. I also had terrible anxiety which got much better on the injections. Luckily I have completed my course but if I need to go back on blood thinners in the future, I am a bit worried. Hopefully it won’t be an issue.

Let’s hope it stays that way I initially injected myself with warfarin but had a second dvt elected to go onto tablets my mistake!. I have not been able to go back to warfarin as I was not offered that choice!! after requesting to do so.

Exercise and look after your health. Carbs help blood flow, heart rate, etc.
