[ARCHIVED THREAD] - xarelto making blood come out of my butt: UPDATE in original first post

Posted: 5/7/2016 9:34:02 AM EDT

AFIB ablation two weeks ago. Heart feels great now. Actually feel better than I have in a long time. Doc put me on xarelto blood thinner. Now bright blood in the bowl
when in go to the bathroom. Doc wants me to go to the ER for tests. WTF? I know it is a well known side effect of the xarelto. Been on daily aspirin for years no problem. Now I am scared
to go off of the xarelto for possible clots and stroke, but thinking of going back to the hospital ,
fsa ER, makes me want to puke.
Can I quit the xarelto and go back to aspririn? Help me ARFDOCs..

UPDATE
8 frickin hours in the ER. Finally 15 mins with a doc. Told to quit the xarelto and go home. He had small fingers. Blood work ok. Follow up with cardiologist an maybe a GI doc. If more blood come back.
FSA population in a Tyler hospital is incredible. Can't imagine what a Dallas hospital would be like.

Go to the hospital.......it could be hemroids, or it could be MUCH more serious.

Or

You could just die.

How's your life insurance?

Go to the hospital immediately.

Don't switch meds on your own.

Bright blood may just be hemorrhoids, but better safe than sorry. A Gastroenterologist is probably in your future.

To hell with what the doctor tells you! Screw him and his fancy book smarts

Just rub some dirt on it.

ER, now. A relative of mine started bleeding that way (hers was from Chemo meds) and she died a few hours later - bled to death. Intestinal bleeding is not to be trifled with. Please.

The brighter the blood, the origin is closer to the exit of the GI tract.

ER. Now.

Blood in the toilet, rather than just on the paper usually indicates more than just a hemorrhoid. Probably a lower GI bleed. Not to be fooled with, especially being on blood thinners...

ETA Hopefully the ER doc has small fingers...

I see a switch to Eliquis in your future. Been on it for a couple of years without problems.

This. Possibly no big deal, but not something to fuck around with.

Death is always an option. If you don't like the idea of death then go to the ER.

Don't be ignorant. You may die if you don't get this treated.

GI bleeds are a killer, better go. They'll do some labs and look at your HH and depending on level give you some blood and adjust your meds.

I've been on aspirin for a few years and get BRB from my asshole a couple of times a month.

Had the ass-camera check things out and they didn't find anything.

Doc just says "don't push so hard".

Here's what to consider:

Hemorrhoids - Bright red blood on paper and/or on turds in the bowl. Usually self-limiting. Keep your balloon knot clean and don't bear down as it makes them bigger and more in the way of the brown train comin' through. Hope that you don't get an abscess.

Ulcer - These can be in the colon, small bowel, or stomach. Usually the bleeding presents as dark and stinky and frequent. If these produce brighter or redder blood, you got one heck of a bleeding ulcer and should get transfused before you collapse and die.

Polyps - These things can bleed too. Usually not to bad, but see note for Ulcer above. These can become cancer. Often these are burned away during colonoscopy.

Colon Cancer - This is often discovered with new onset of blood in stool. Many times a change in bowel habits that might or might not go ignored, will give advanced clues of its development. Also, unexplained weight loss is predictive of a developing cancer. The bleeding from colon cancer can be anything from needing a tourniquet to very slight to unnoticeable. Frequently, the only clue is a low blood count. This is what you hope not to have, and that if you do, that you catch it early.

Anal condeloma - Not cancer. Can be burned off. Recommend stop with the butt secs.

If I had an erection lasting more than 4 hours, the last place I'd be is in the ER.

I'd be in my front yard, putting up a sign on a full sheet of plywood.

Any bleeding, little alone internal bleeding, while on blood thinners is not something you want to happen.

You may loose a lot of blood, quickly.

ER now.
