Xarelto Heart Palpatations

I have been taking xarelto 20mg now for 2 weeks after being on 15mg twice a day for 30 days. I had a dvt blood clot that ended up with two pulmonary embolisms. Just in the past three days I have developed heart palpitations which I have never had. My heart skips a beat about every 3 beats. Not so much in the morning as in the evening. Does this have anything to due with the meds

It is possible, according to NIH reports. Are you on any other medications, or just this one? Other side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising.

Usually, with palpitations, your hear is not actually skipping a beat, you're just experiencing a softer beat that you don't feel, but it would be best to have your doctor check it out, to be sure.

Has there been any change?
