Apixaban cannot cause AF but when I was prescribed it, it made me realise that I had a health problem, which made me anxious, which I think triggered episodes.

Thanks I did think that as last couple of days since starting this drug have felt more anxious.

Since I started Apixaban 4 weeks ago I have felt much less stressed regarding my stroke risk, and I seem to have had fewer PAF episodes. Early days I know but I reckon that stress is a big component in this condition for me.
