I moved from Warfarin to Pradaxa 1.5yrs ago. I was having to have blood tests quite frequently with my INR decreasing or increasing despite trying to maintain a correct diet.
I have been so much healthier with Pradaxa and have returned to competitive swimming, At age 65 I am swimming 100 M Medley's. I keep getting much faster in the pool.
I am not sure if it is connected but I changed my diet to only include Fish/ skinless chicken-sometimes, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables and Muesli for breakfast. I did have high Blood pressure and high Cholesterol but my BP is quite normal and one 45 yr Physician told me, my Cholesterol was much better than his.

Hi Charles,

According to the New York Times, Pradaxa was identified as the primary suspect in 542 patient deaths reported to the F.D.A. in 2011. I have a good feeling that your diet is what is causing the positive changes you have been noticing .

I've done lots of research on health/nutrition and it has been proven that eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables can lower blood pressure/cholesterol levels.

This article mentions that eating healthy and exercising regular (which you are doing) can control blood pressure : mayoclinic.com/health/high-blood-pressure/HI00027

If you start experiencing any negative side effects from Pradaxa, please see a doctor as soon as possible.

I hope this info helps!
