Apixaban (Eliquis) and Omega 3 supplements
Hey All!! Question...Are others who take Apixaban (Eliquis) also taking Omega 3 supplements (that include DHA)? I've read that it could be problematic...increase length of time for bleeding, etc. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Stressing
I've been a bit quiet for a while but that doesn't mean to say I've stopped running. I've been ringing the changes with my runs and really enjoying them. Our park run was cancelled last week as part of the course was flooded but I got on the treadmill instead. I've also been going to my alternative

Valve Replacenent
I am awaiting a mitral valve replacement and am in the age bracket where either a mechanical or biologic valve would be suitable. Looked into pro’s and con’s of each but still struggling to make my decision. Any advice please.

Shortness of breadth
I had open heart surgery 8 years ago, I used to have AFIB but a valve replacement resolved it so far. I also have sleep apnea and use a cpap. Recently I have been getting up in the middle of the night once or twice to urinate and I am experiencing shortness of breadth. After I urinate it goes away.

AF for 4 days
I had my first episode of AF several years ago. I had another cope of episodes over a three or four year period. In January this year 2023 I was started on Apixaban but changed to Edoxaban a week ago because my blood pressure was low and I thought it was the reason for feeling tired. 4 days ago

Arrhythmia after open heart surgery - any others with similiar experiences?
Hi there, I'm new to this forum and looking forward to learning from you all. 8 weeks ago I had open heart surgey to correct a large atrial septal defect (hole in the heart). It was diagnosed at Christmas. Prior to this I had no cardiac symptoms at all - I was power lifting in the gym, cycling a 20km

How long does it take to come around after coma?
Hi, My Dad has been in an induced coma for 11 days and then had a huge heart operation. They started to reduce his sedation day 4 post op, and he opened his eyes and blinked a little on command; then squeezed my Mums hand. They explained and they need to fit a trachi on Monday night, it’s now Wednesday
