Belly Pains After Being Diagnosed with Pulmonary Embolisms

I was diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary embolisms on 3/7/22 and have been on Xeralto since leaving the hospital. I have been getting belly pains just below left rib since around 3/11/22. Has anyone else experienced this belly pain?!? (not sure if the medicine or PEs are causing this OR if it’s unrelated) Thank you for your input. 🙏🏽💝🙏🏽

I was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism (s) & have been on Eliquis since leaving the hospital. I have been getting belly pains just below the left rib, too. I've experienced belly pain.

Abdominal pain with PE is usually in the upper abdomen. Read the prescriber & provider printouts on Xeralto & its side effects.

If it's not listed as a side effect & it's not in your upper abdomen, it's unrelated. 4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣

The pharmacist also prints out side effects of Xeralto.

Tell your provider ASAP about the abdominal pain.

I've been on blood thinners for at least 10 years. I was using Xeralto for a while but got more clots...so I'm back on Warfarin. And going in for INR testing on a regular schedule.

You need to talk to your physician about changing your medication. I find taking eliquis 2x a day really have done me well.
