Taking Pradaxa? Be Aware Of The signs Of Pradaxa Internal Bleeding

Dallas drug injury attorney Kay Van Wey has learned that as many as 16.4% of Pradaxa users may experience internal hemorrhaging. The risk of bleeding increases in those over age 75 or those who require emergency surgery. For this reason, Attorney Kay Van Wey believes that it is important for every patient who is taking Pradaxa to be aware of the symptoms of internal bleeding.

Symptoms of Pradaxa internal bleeding may include:

• Vomiting or coughing up blood
• Vomit that resembles coffee grounds
• Unusual lethargy
• Abnormal bruising or bleeding
• Urine that is pink or brown 
• Stools that are red or black and tarry
• Headaches
• Bleeding gums
• Frequent nosebleeds
• Weakness and/or swelling of the arms or hands
• Weakness and/or swelling of the feet, ankles or lower legs
• Pain or swelling in the joints
• Dizziness
• Death

If you experience any of these signs of Pradaxa internal bleeding, it is important that you contact your doctor right away. Continue to take your medication as directed. Suddenly stopping your medication could have dangerous consequences.
