Cardiologist has me on that Xarelto pill, also.
I'm sorta, kinda, nervous, apprehensive, with the side affect to that pill.
If you get cut, have a bleed, it's harder to stop the bleeding with that blood thinner in your system.
Have you ever had a problem?
Another thing to be careful of, when taking a medication.

I haven’t had any problems with it and I have been on it for two years now. I have had several minor injuries like cuts and scrapes and while it does take a little longer to stop the bleeding, it’s really not much longer and usually a band-aid is enough.

The bigger issue would be a serious injury which is why I wear an ID bracelet so emergency responders would be alerted. There is a counter agent that they can administer to stop the effects of it, but they need to know that it is needed.
