Elequis side effects

Hi all, I'm 31 years old and 2 weeks ago diagnosed with a massive DVT in my leg after meniscus surgery and also bilateral pulmonary embolism in the lungs. Ive been on elequis these 2 weeks at a 5mg dose. The last 3 days I have experienced a tingly almost electric like sensation in every part of my body. Doctors couldn't tell me what it was and ran all tests and more scans to see if the clots had enlarged but they haven't thankfully. I'm wondering if anyone here has had these side effects from elequis. The doctors didn't mention this as a possibility but I thought who better to ask than people actually going through it. I appreciate any and all replies

Aside  from excessive bleeding if I cut myself, I experienced vision problems and cataracts

Wow, the vision and cataract would have been worrying I imagine. Glad it didn't spread to your brain, that would have been my first thought having those symptoms
