CBD Daily Spray and blood thinners

Afternoon Justin. The pharmacist said that although it is topical it is likely some of the spray will get into the blood stream and could increase the effect of the blood thinner. I called the cardiologist yesterday for test results from Tuesday and also about using the CBD spray. No response yet. I have a surgeon that said I could stop taking blood thinners......then the one cardiologist said , NO ! I have to stay on blood thinners the rest of my life.....then the A-fib cardiologist specialist said that maybe in a year I can stop the Xarelto . Three doctors, three different opinions. Same confusing opinions regarding hip surgery. The one cardiologist said go enjoy life and get that hip fixed. The orthopedic surgeon said I was not a good candidate for surgery. One doctor said I had Lupus, another doctor said it's rosacea. I see an rheumatologist this Thursday to see what she has to say. I am so disgusted with the difference of opinions .These Golden Years are not what I expected. Next month I am going to a seminar regarding stem cell for the hip, that should be interesting .

The cardiologist's office just called...all test results from Tuesday are normal and the cardiologist said I can try the CBD spray. Yippee....I asked the nurse about stopping the blood thinner and she said they didn't test for that.....complete opposite of what I was told when I was called to go to the clinic for a blood test. Oh well....half good news is better than none.
I hear you on the golden years are not what I thought they were going to be. I have chronic pain, degenerative scoliosis, and now pain in my knee. I asked my pain management doctor about CBC salve for my knee pain. She said ok as long as I let her know the ingredients in the salve. I, too, am on Xarelto lifelong after 2 pulmonary emboli. I didn’t even think to let my cardiologist know. The jury is still out on CBD oil. I’m going to research this and see.
I asked my cardiologist about CBD oil and his response was that it was okay to use it even tho I'm on Xarelto...however, I'm not sure I trust this answer and I will ask a pharmacist. It does not agree with much I have been reading thru Googling the question. (This has happened before where I asked him a question about a hair loss side effect of a med and he had never heard of the side effect but there were many such complaints on the Internet.) I also asked him about Watchman, an implant that enables one to stop taking blood thinners, and he said it was okay, but I would need to consult with another doctor because it's not a procedure that he does. When I asked my primary care doctor about Watchman, she had never heard of it. Anyone know about it? Thanks.
I've had Arterial Fabulation my whole life. After i got my Covid shots, I was in and out of the hospital since then to todays date with A-Fib. Which I get 3-5 times a day. I've been on blood thinners for approx: a year and a half. I now have a surgery booked which took a year on waiting list to receive a procedure called an Ablation. Once I have my surgery. I was told by my cardiologist that I won't have to be on blood thinners anymore. So when a Dr. or specialist tells you have to be on blood thinners for life. I would talk to your heart specialist and or cardiologist about this proceedure. Success rate is 99%. After the Ablation I plan on going on CBD to help with my ADHD and PTSD. I hope this helps.

@hazelnut it seems to me with all the differing opinions of your doctors, you would really benefit from visiting Mayo, where the MD's work together. Just a thought.
