I forgot to take meds for couple of days I noticed my get and legs were swelling and started my meds again. I have also been having issues with the bottom of my feet tingling and somewhat painful when I step and various times on and off my fingers and lower arms get the same easy. Earlier tonight I realized I didn t take my 2nd blood thinner and asked friend to grab one for me. Prior to taking pradaxa I was on warfarin for a blood thinner and friend have me a 2mg warfarin.

Hi,

You can consult a physician and go for a thyroid function test (TFT). Severe hypothyroidism might cause similar symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
