Dennet, 68 yo –
I have been on Xarelto 20 mg. for 5 months, after having a blood clot in my heart, and having a pacemaker implanted. So far no obvious side effects to report. Have had a unusual rash on my right forearm which doesn’t seem to go away, but not sure what that is about. My heart doctor suggested a “Watchman” procedure if I want to get off this medication, but not sure that is a good thing for me.
