Hi,
No I was on Aspirin for another condition prior to getting a PE and still on it, I'm six months in as well but cardiologist wants to take me off Pradaxa and start me on Warfin, I'm not sure what his plan is but I have been told I'll be on blood thinners for life. Hopefully not, but I'll see by the end of the year.

Hi,
I was put on Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) I had severe side effects with that, I was in emergency nearly every day with my angina chest pain, , GP took me off them and put me onto Pradaxa, no problems with that medication what so ever. Cardiologist has said to me that those medications aren't suited for the type of PE's I have / had, don't ask me what the differences are, I have no Idea, he says that Warfarin is the drug of choice in my situation and I think also the fact that he can keep an eye on my troponins when having the routine blood tests, as some paramedics and emergency doctors have suggested that may be part of the reason, troponins.

Hi Samantha,
I've been on Rivaroxaban now for six months for a Saddle pulmonary embolism and I've now been given the all clear from my consultant but I will have to be on Rivaroxaban for the rest of my life.
Sorry I couldn't help with your question,
Hopefully someone can help you.
I'm happy that the baby aspirin is working for you.
Warmest wishes
Liz 🌺
