Hi, you don't say why you are on apixiban? Is it for AF or Hughes/APS?

This site is for people with Hughes/APS, which is sticky thick, clotting blood, the bridging for us is totally different than for people with AF.
I have attached a paper for you to read and talk through with your cardiologist and endoscopy doctor.
