What Causes Shortness Of Breath Post Intake Of Xarelto?
I just started Xarelto 20 mg daily. I woke up this morning with pain behind my right knee and having some shortness of breath. Felt somewhat OK during the day but still slightly short of breath; feeling really wiped out. No flu symptoms or cold. Could this be phlebitis or superficial DVT?

Hello,
Of course, there is a chance of you having phlebitis or DVT. You should go to the ER to get checked as soon as possible. There is a chance of pulmonary thromboembolism.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
