CBD Daily Spray and blood thinners
Chronic Pain | Last Active: Mar 12 2:31pm | Replies (61)Comment receiving replies
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.

@bbeebe1943 It is important that you feel confident that your provider is giving you the correct information. It sounds like you have a trust pharmacist. Did I get that right?
Below I have linked a previous discussion related to Watchman. Feel free to scroll through the previous posts. I hope you will find answers to your question.

Members like @1943 @tresjur @ronva2co @ronva2co @starfirey2k @afrobin have discussed this topic previously.
I'm wondering what your provider said regarding the pros and cons of the Watchman for your particular situation?
Regarding the CBD and blood thinners, I suggest you contact a marijuana medical dispensary and speak with a pharmacist on duty. They’ll be more knowledgeable than a regular pharmacists on this specific topic.

@migizii. I’m not quite sure who I’m answering, but I have a little knowledge about the Watchman. My father-in-law recently had the procedure done and was able to go home the same day (he is 88yr) with multiple health issues. He has had many falls in the past year, so the decision was made that he had to stop taking blood thinners due to the dizziness and lack of balance he was experiencing. I did a bit of research and had some major concerns about the procedure being done in someone his age, but his gerontologist and heart surgeon, both stated he was a good candidate and he made the decision to proceed. I had read the procedure was generally successful for people in their 70’s and younger. My relative lives in the Chicago area where there are many good resources. I hope this helps a little.
