Experiences with Pradaxa

After serious heart failure and two weeks heart monitoring I was send home with Pradaxa 110mg and more meds such as Verapamil to keep everything under control. The capsules are easy to take. Everything reminds me to take it easy, that I’m not the person I used to be. I tire more quickly and am often out of breath, but my doctor says I could still live to a 100 years.

Nausea, extreme tiredness, dizziness, irritable, short of breath, poor sleep. I need to go back on 1 June to see the neurologist, I'm going to tell him that I'm stopping, I'd rather be dead than live like this.

In 2016 took this for 6 months with no side effects. Started taking it again and seem to have developed an allergy to it. Rash without itchiness and short of breath/breathlessness.
