Thinning Hair
I’ve been taking Rivaroxaban with Flecainide and Adizem for AFib. My hair has become noticeable thinner. My Consultant has just changed my Rivaroxaban to Apixaban which also has hair loss as a side effect. Does anyone have this problem and are you able to recommend anything to help? I’m 76 years old

I recently had the strength of my Adizem meditation increased from 120mg to 180mg daily as my BP was increasingly higher than usual. This medication was prescribed to control my blood pressure and help my heart rhythm. I have noticed I have mild swelling round my ankles and slight puffiness of my feet

Xatral, an alpha blocker does it elevate heart rate?
am in permanent Af and take 190 mg
Dilzem
per day. Heart rate is controlled and hovers around sixties. My urologist prescribed Xartal an alpha blocker to manage my bladder muscle weakness which is causing urinary difficulties.

Metallic taste after Edoxaban
Just a quick question. Does anyone have a metallic taste in their mouth after taking Edoxaban? It suits me to take the tablet before bedtime because I take Adizem in the morning to benefit me throughout the day. After taking Edoxaban in the evening, when I wake up in the night to make a bathroom call

Rivaroxaban
Happy New Year everyone! Just wondering if anyone else has any side effects from Rivaroxaban? I'd been taking 20mg per day since 2017 with no noticeable side effects. I not only have AF but Bronchiectasis as well. Needed to put a sputum sample in for testing and carried this out in the usual way

Taking Flecainide even when in Permanent Afib
Am on 2X90 mg
Dilzem
and 2,5 mg Nebilt/day. MY HR is 70-73 BPM 38% of the time, 66-69 BPM 33% of the time, 74-79 BPM 19% of the time and 62-65 BPM 2% of the time. To improve these results , I suggested to stop Nebilet and instead take 50 mg of Flecainide ( Tambocor 50mg) in combo with
