atrial fibrillation and anticoagulant
Posted , 4 users are following.
About 7 years ago I had atrial fibrillation cause by a hole in my heart. I had it fixed and came off warfarin after 2 years of no afib. In January 2014 i had a parathyroidoctomy. ..which triggered my thyroid in going over active which triggered an episode of afib. My thyroid is all ok now and I gave not had afib for over a year. I want to come off anticoagulants especially now am on Rivaroxaban which I can't seem to lose weight on. I haven't had afib for over a year it was an overactive thyroid gland that triggered it...my gp says I could afib again but as long as my thyroid is ok i should be ok. I really want to come off anticoagulants ...advice please ...Thank you x

I was told I needed anticoagulants as there was a high risk of stroke and eventually after many years of asking I gave in two months ago and instead of the Rivaroxiban I opted for Warfarin due to the problem about bleeding and Warfarin can be reversed with Vitamin K but Rivaroxiban means a dialasys machine which did scare me. If it means staying on it to avoid a stroke I would carry on. My Afib is not so bad now I am on Warfarin so might be a link to thinner blood and Afib.
