I had a TIA due to AFIB that I didn’t realise - but now with 2.5 grams beater blocker controls my heart rate perfectly-do I still need the thinners ?

Had total hip replacement 3 weeks ago, on blood thinners (daily injection) up untill 24th of December. I will be taken off them, any side affects to look forward to?

Hello Dr. Weinberg, would surveillance be appropriate for an 11mm rim-calcified aneurysm of the left gastric artery found incidentally on CT in a 39 year old male (otherwise healthy) patient? I have read the SVS guidelines say to treat them regardless of size in the gastric arteries due to high rupture and mortality rate, but I have also heard that the statistics may not be fully accurate due to the rarity of the diagnosis.

I was hospitalized after being ER a few years back with chest pains and shortness of breath. Took a while but I was finally diagnosed with DE which because of not knowing it was BC went to my lungs PE. Years later diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera Jack 2? Since that time years ago I have not had another BC. I think I should be off the Blood thinners?! 🤔

I would like too know Sticky Blood an Large Weight loss

I have antiphosphate lipid syndrome. Factors V leiden. Take warfarin daily and mointor daily if my results go out of range. Otherwise i monitor weekly. In 1999 was in car accident and imbolized , bed ridden @ week, gradually did physical therapy. I'm recommended to stay on warfarin for life. I don't mind adjusting my diet. My last CAC score pre pandemic =0. Exercise regularly and eat whole foods plant base. Still wondering whether possible accident contributed . Although doc said on initial diagnosis i inherited a gene from one of parents. Regardless, i thank God for sparing my life and it was detected before anything major. I had felt a chronic cramp in my left leg and simply went to free health screening to find out cause. I was told to get to EMERGENCY. Thank God I'm here today😊

I had a DVT in my right leg after driving for NY to Virginia Jan 2024 , I was put on Eliquis Blood thinner, I took it full strength for 6 months, and then low dose until Sept of 2024, I just found out I might have Factor V Leiden syndrome , So know I am going back to Elquis Blood thinner. I understand I might have to take this blood thinner for the rest of my life. I am 70 years old and in fairly good health otherwise

Recently diagnosed with this. I am in the “ surveillance” stage. Are there any restrictions (physical/dietary) or other things I need to be aware of?

Ever since my dad started Heparin when he was at the hospital, he started losing his voice. After discharged he was prescribed Eliquis and he continues to have issues with losing his voice, sounding hoarse. I really think the problem is the blood thinner. What your input? and advices? Will be taking him in soon to check up on this.

I have a question. What if you have anemia and you end up getting the hole in your heart fixed via a fiber mesh. Would that cause it as well

I had a unique situation; I had terrible upper left quadrant pain last year, and after days of unknown diagnostics… they found a 4.8 cm SAA (size of a plum!) that was emergently operated on. Splenectomy and partial pancreatectomy. It’s been a longggg year. 48 days with a JP drain, and still on insulin:/ Thank you for the good explanation. Oh, I’m female and 59 years old, post menopausal.

My middle toe on my right foot had a blue ring around it. Now my toe is crooked and very painful and still blue. I'm not familiar with the vernacular you used so I was unable to follow your video.

Fact or Fiction? Is it true that Furosemide causes blood platelets to adhere together to form clots?

Im having this procedure soon.

New Cardiologist that replaced my cardiologist due to retirement, stopped my aspirin and replaced with Eliquis for my AFIB, and I was already taking Clopidigrel and kept me going on both at the same time. Those two drugs did not get along and I developed bleeding in my stool that was so heavy and bad smelling that I went to emergency who neutralized the Eliquis after numerous tests and put me in the hospital overnight to give me a IV of blood that was lost in my system as I went from a 12 to a 7 on the blood test. Emergency told me to stop use immediately and made sure my Cardiologist gets the notes. He got them immediately and permanently took me off Eliquis and within just a few short days all the bleeding stopped. Went for a colonscopy afterward and everything is clear. Now I am arguing with him, refusing to take another blood thinner as I do NOT want to go through this again. One blood thinner is enough. I was on aspirin and Clopidigrel and had no problems for over ten years, one little switch and voila problems in less than a week. Forget that mess. Great video thank you for posting.

Im taking aspirin and clopidrogrel but i will have a fistula surgery. I have a stend and im afraid of stop medicine. How many days is safe to stop clopidrogrel and aspirin? Thank you.

83 yrs.old loose balance easily and fall down can he stop blood thinner

Mohon bikin terjemahannya❤

just exposed to this condition today and felt this is the best explanation on what to do and why to do it ,,

Hi Dr W, does APS fall within the category of hormone related blood clots?

At age 35, I had a splenic artery anyuerism. My speed was removed thus saving my life. I only knew of this anyuerism after I had a car accident and went to the hospital where the anyuerism was discovered. The surgery took place a few days later successfully. I owe my life to my surgeon in Orlando. He has since passed, but I think of him from time to time and feel so grateful he was there for me. Side note: when the 1st dr I saw before the final one, I saw a Dr whose after looking at my trays said, "I don't know what it is but it doesn't look like it's going anywhere. With that frightening statement, I asked for the xray, which Icwas given, and ran out of there as fast as I could, effectively saving ny own life in the process, until I found a Sugeon who ultimately saved my life.

Thank you very much for such a lucid presentation.Want to know in what dose do we use aspirin or any other antiplatelet agent in subclavian artery stenosis?Also do we have it in diabetics and in CKD patients?

Dr. W - is it ok to continue fish oil omega-3 supplements while on a blood thinner regimen?

Hi Dr. W - excellent video insights. I've been on Xarelto for 5 years due to unprovoked clot in left calf resulting in small PE. With no genetic predisposition, my theory is that I have a low resting heart rate and my job required me to sit at a desk for long periods of time, possibly resulting in the clot for the same reason athletes who travel internationally may experience. I'd like to wean myself off the Xarelto 15 mg. Is there a protocol for doing so, such as dropping dosage to 10 mg, then reducing frequency over time until stopping entirely?

Treatment bataiye? Precautions kya le?

Thanks for video. question. 86yrs. Very active life style. Clot in leg vein following bee sting. Doctor wants elequis. What about short period.

I found this video very informative. I just received a diagnosis of a spleenic artery aneurysm. I appreciate the way you explained the situation in a way that's easy to understand, and calming.

What about when in monthly periods time

I stopped taking blood thinners a few years ago and I’m still here. The question is are blood thinners necessary?

FYI some blood thinners cause blue toe. Warfarin especially.

Does it have anything to do with the throat?

Blood thinner medician may not be suitable for veryone, but, for me, it is the good medician, it can provent stroke. so always listen to your Doctor. not online videos.

I just had a stent placed in my aorta 2 months ago and now I have this. CTA scan says 1.9CM in size. Hopefully, my appointment soon will bring me some peace of mind.

I been on blood thinner for 4 months..and dont feel any difference

I get scared it is diabetes because I am 13 but when my feet were cold and pain inside but when I got hot warm water it slowly went away but came back at night and I never got diagnosed with diabetes but Idk why it happens sometimes

My feet remains cold all the time and getting stinky smell even in barefoot, why..?

Great explanation of Splenic artery aneurysm (recently diagnosed) thank you for the video. There are other risk factors which should be considered when accessing the risk of your aneurysm, having very high levels of Lipoprotein (a) which I have been told by my specialist are linked to aneurysms, blood pressure and heart disease. Anymore advice on this.

Interesting. Had Catheter Ablation and was given a BT. 0 CAC score & I'm getting my clotting markers, myocardial perfusion test shortly before discussing further with my cardiologist.

Thank you for this TH-cam. It was very helpful but I have a more specific question I need an answer for. My husband and I just flew from Orlando to London 8/13/24, landing the morning of 8/14. After waking up on 8/15 he had severe chest pains up and down his abdomen on the left side. Background info: He had the identical pains at home in late June, and a chest X-ray and ekg were done with no signs of anything, although we discovered he does have a bit of lung compromise, likely due to breathing toxic chemicals in his early work years. He just turned 70 and he also had a DVT 3 years ago and was on blood thinners for 6 months. For the June problem, the NP gave him prednisone for costochondritis and the problem disappeared rapidly. Soon after we flew to Colorado and remained at pretty high altitude for 3 weeks, hiking and e-biking a lot. He commented often about being unable to get a deep breath but we did lots of high altitude activities. After two weeks home in FL we flew to London with plans to head to the Swiss Alps for a couple months to hike and e-bike, which we’ve done for several years. So on 8/15 we went to the emergency department and blood tests, an ekg, a CT w/contrast were performed and multiple small blood clots were found in his lungs. They said he was in the low end of seriousness for PE, but they also found right heart strain which put him in the low-intermediate category. Thus they admitted him for one night and immediately started anticoagulants. At 5 pm on 8/16 they did an echocardiogram which was good and showed no evidence of the right heart strain, so he was discharged with several months of blood thinners. The last two days we have walked London 6-7 miles each day and he’s feeling really well, except there’s still slight discomfort when he takes a deep breath. We now plan to train to Switzerland rather than fly but we’re wondering if it’s safe to go to the places we love and had planned to return. The villages where we stay are at 2631’, 4180’, 5361’, and 5275’ but we take trains, gondolas, cable cars higher and hike. So, is it safe for him to even travel to these altitudes and sleep there, and is it safe to hike to higher elevations than those? If it’s not, would it be after 2-4 weeks? Or when? Or what elevations are safe for him now, both for sleeping and for exploring? The elevations we slept at the whole time in CO were Thank you for this TH-cam.

The elevations we slept at the whole time in CO were between 7000-9100’ and we hiked and biked at 11,000’. We really need immediate advice from someone who seems to understand the altitude situation for a new and recovering PE patient. Thank you.

I got a DVT on my right leg right after contracting Covid but my doctor said that it has’t to do anything with Covid . If not because my profession that is driving trucks for long periods of been seating at a time. They also find out that my antithrombin level was low they did more test and as result I’m diagnosed with blood clothing issues now I take xarelto 20mg once a day For EVER.

I had a Saddle PE about 18 months ago. I have not recovered well. Dr has prescribed pulmonary rehab for Post PE Syndrome, but insurance won’t cover. I am overweight but was active (volleyball, hiking, etc) Most of the drs try to say my inability to be active is because I’m overweight……forgetting I was able to do these days before the SPE. I am now able to go for a walk. A trip through the grocery store is still difficult almost all the time! When we go for walks, I have to stop and sit at the benches….. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Everything in life is difficult: picking up the baby, making dinner, talking, cleaning the house, driving- EVERYTHING! I would like to get to the point where it’s not a difficulty any longer. I have a ton of chest pain and shortness of breath. I also have some muscular pain in my upper back and around the lower parts of my ribs/lungs. I also now have chronic pleurisy. I know how fortunate I am to be alive! Thank you for this video- it’s great!

Eliquis caused the following: GERD Acid reflex Loss of appetite Stomach pain Belching Nausea I’ll take aspirin to prevent blood clots.

Thank you for your informative video. I found it perfect, on-point with no waffle.

I just discovered i have approximately 80% blockage in left subclavian artery. No symptoms zero i had cat scan with contrast. Bp differs from one arm to other only top # difference of 7-15 points . Bottom #’s equal I am 69 yrs old

I live in British Columbia. Canada and want to find a specialist that understandsand trwats FMD. I have not been formally diagnosed but have test results indicative of FMD and the internist is talking about it. Very difficult to look up specicically specialist for western Canada.

I wonder if moving to a high elevation (6700 ft) could have contributed to my DVT, along with age, HRT, etc? If so, would I potentially be able to come off thinners if living at a lower elevation (eliminated HRT, of course)?

My Doctors are almost positive that my blood thinner is causing my chronic anemia. Smh! Only Doctor that disagrees is of course my Hematologist. Will probably have to come off of it and take the risk. My stent is working great thankfully. Anemia has been affecting my life so much requiring iron infusions. Still anemic with my infusions at this point.

My Pulmonologist told me that i have abnormal blood flow in right leg . so next week they will introduce another doctor "rheumatologist " . I have PE for almost 2months now currently taking apixaban. i feel very strong , i can run . i can swim . only that 2days of shortness of breath before going to ER

I almost died while in labor with my son due to an undiagnosed splenic artery aneurysm that ruptured.
