Had bouts of afib a few years ago. Put on xarelto. Then had a successful ablation in 2017. Wanted to go off xarelto but cardiologist, wisely, talked me out of it. Family history of afib (mother died of a stroke following cessation of her warfarin for 3 days for minor surgery).
Three years later my afib returned (not unusual), this time continuous. After two unsuccessful cardioversions, having another ablation following second vaccine. Hopeful.
Never miss taking my xarelto. Price of my history and family history.
I think Warfarin has more danger of brain bleeds. And now xarelto has an antidote.
Still, always a decision between you and your cardiologist. Best of luck.
