@heding. I was put on Xeralto 20 mg after my TIA, I did not have the side effects you had. I did have bleeding gum and sometimes random bruises. My doctor reduced it to 15 mg. When I had my loop recorder implant, I had to stop it for almost two weeks bc the incision site was bleeding. When I had my teeth cleaning, my doctor told m e to stop it two days before the procedure. Have you discussed this with your doctor? I am very sensitive to any new medication, maybe you are too. Call your doctor before discontinuing any medication. Tell him all the meds and supplements you are taking, there may be a drug interaction. Take care!
