Eloquis

I have had PE and am factor V Leiden.
I used xarelto for six months but it made me suffer anxiety and breathlessness and depression, stiffness in joints. I swapped to eloquis and found the side effects are not so extreme but still there... Memory problems, joint pain , slight headaches and tiredness. Warfarin is sounding good ! Have heard about a herbal product called nattokinase that should be researched by drug companies. Sounds like a winner. Natural and no side effects. As I am 61 I would like to use something that I can use and stay healthy on!

Hello, Caren! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the problems you've had.

However, all medications carry the risk of causing side effects, even natural herbal products. The difference is that since they've not been studied, they haven't actually been proven to be effective, nor is there a known list of their possible side effects available to refer to.

If you'd like to look into Warfarin, its typical side effects can include increased risk of bleeding, nausea, easy bruising, headache and you'll also have to have a sample taken to check your INR regularly.

Is there anything else I can help with?
