Brief Answer:
the hair loss may be telogen effluvium
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Rivaroxban is one of the newer anti clotting medications available.
Like all medications there are potential side effects including dizziness and very rarely palpitations.
It is not known to be associated with chest pain.
Endone can also cause dizziness and palpitations so it may be the combination that is making you feel unwell.
If the symptoms are intolerable then you may want to consider speaking to your doctor.
Neither medication may be associated with hair loss.
There is a condition called telogen effluvium which is associated with thinning or shedding of the hair. It can occur in different situations such as post delivery, chronic illness, anemia.
Other causes are fever, major surgery, emotional distress.
This may be the reason for the hair loss.
No treatment is usually needed, it is self limiting and the hair regrows.
I hope this helps,feel free to ask any additional questions

I am very nervous about my recent diagnosis of pulmonary embolisms. Could these new symptoms /troubles be life threatening?
Brief Answer:
YOu are using effective medication
Detailed Answer:
HI
It is understandable to be concerned about PE. They can be life threatening if not appropriately treated however it seems you have been started on one of the medications that can be used for treatment.
This medication would reduce the chance of any additional clot formation.
These newer medication also do not have the restrictions associated with the older medications such as warfarin.
Once you are using your medication, it is unlikely that you will experience any complications related to the PE.
Please feel free to ask any additional queries
