Hi This Past Week My Doctor Asked Me If I
Hi
This past week my doctor asked me if I am okay with taking Xarelto. I have A Fib but he is not overly concerned. He placed a link to monitoring my heart for the next 3 years. I tried 2 ablations but obviously was not successful. My heart rate is very good. Sometimes I get the A Fib but am not aware of it. I told him I would try Xarelto but the minite i experience bleeding (like people I know on cuomedin) I am off it. I am 66 yrs. old and very active and physically in good shape. Since his mention of Xarelto I have done research on Vit K. Many of the food I normally eat anyway but I have also included Kale smoothies. So my question " am I over doing the Vit K.? If I start to bleed as a side affect from Xarelto i will quit it and continue my life with the natural blood thiiners and take my chances.
Thank you
Frank
