Now people are obsessed with anticoagulants and have emptied pharmacies. It's good if the doctor prescribed this case. But many are simply self-medicating.
Not everyone gets it, but taking medications like Xarelto or Warfarin is always a balance between the likelihood of dying from a cerebral hemorrhage and the likelihood of dying from thromboembolism pulmonary artery.
If nothing indicates a risk of thrombosis, then do not indulge in medications. These are not candy.
If you are taking Xarelto or Warfarin, there are universal rules that reduce the risk of bleeding.
Miracles with medicines
Don't eat extra pills!
It is extremely rare that aspirin is prescribed along with anticoagulants. Therefore, do not engage in amateur performances. If aspirin has not been added, then do not try to "catch up" with them. There will be no additional benefit. So you can get a hemorrhage in the brain or stomach bleeding.
The same applies to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen. They can also increase bleeding.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs do not suppress platelets as sharply as aspirin, but they do.
Second option. If your doctor has prescribed omeprazole, then (for heaven's sake!) Eat that omeprazole. It protects against stomach bleeding.
Yes, omeprazole can make bones more fragile over time or increase your risk of stomach cancer. But on the other hand, without omeprazole, tomorrow blood can pour out of the stomach in a fountain. It usually ends badly.
Monitor your blood pressure
If you don't monitor your blood pressure, then you have two paths to cerebral hemorrhage.
Firstly, against the background of increased pressure, a blood vessel in the head can burst.
Secondly, if the pressure, on the contrary, has dropped, then you can fall, banging your head against the nightstand. This is another reason for a hematoma in the head.
In short, exactly follow the instructions of the attending physician, and do not self-medicate.
