My husband has stage 4 pancreatic cancer with metastic liver cancer. Once recently diagnosed with blood clot in lung. Was taking injections in stomach twice a day. Then prescribed Coumadin. Then week ago was switched from Coumadin to Xarelto due to PT too high. Now he is bleeding from gums, achy & sore and extremely fatigued. Has doctor appointment tomorrow but wondering if I should take him to ER tonite.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You are taking Coumadin and your PT is too high. So your bedding is due to that.  Coumadin has an antagonist.  So if your pt is high then you should take it k to prevent bleeding. Xarelto has no antagonist, so it should be stopped if bleeding is not controlled.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
