What Causes Stomach Pain And Vomiting While Taking Xarelto For Pulmonary Embolism?
My husband is taking xarelto for PE since about 2 months ago. He has a stomach ache now and is throwing up...no blood. He has pain in his upper stomach... About a 5 on a scale from 1 to 10. He had this pain a few days ago too. Is this related to the xarelto?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to gastritis which is an inflammation of the stomach lining.
They can also be related to side effects of Xarelto.
If the stomach pain continues, I suggest to consult your doctor about an alternative medication.
Meanwhile,I suggest using a spasmolytic such as Buscopan to relieve the pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
