I have been on Xarelto since switching from Cumadin a month ago and about a week ago I had sharp pains in my chest then three days ago I had an irregular fast heartbeat on the lower right side of my heart for about 30 minutes. Once that was over I had wheezing in my chest for the next 12 hrs with severe fatigue and was very exhausted feeling lots of pain in my chest. I was wondering if anyone has had a blood clot while on xarelto. I am having lots of tests done to diagnose what happened, but I believe it was another blood clot due to my symptoms
Has anyone experienced a PE while on Xarelto?

I have. I have been on Xarelto since I left the hospital a little over a month ago. I just had another CT scan done on Monday. I had several on my right lung and that is completely gone but I now have a small one at the bottom of the left side of my lung. Going to my lung specialist tomorrow to find out what happened.

This is my argument about these new anti coagulants you can't tell if they are working or working too well until something happens. It would be possible of course for you to clot, stranger things have happened. It is also possible it wasnt a clot. Other things could have caused the symptoms. Let us know when you get the results of the tests please.
