Still in HF?
Hi all, First post. This is a great forum, very informative and supportive. Diagnosed with hypertension 18 months ago, usual ACE inhibitors took 6 months to lower BP. Then came AF, on Atenolol and Eliquis, but side effects, and GP switched me to Bisoprolol. Symptoms worsened and I ended up hospitalized

Diagnosis: "Favors Essential Thrombocythemia"
So this is good news. Except for one thing. My bmb did show some "mild to moderate reticulin fibrosis. Nevertheless the diagnosis favors the ET. My hematologist says that we will keep a close eye on bloodwork going forward. As I have the Calr 1 mutation and am already on Eliquis, no additional medication

APIXABAN
Just got home from the ER. I had a CT scan done of my head and everything was fine so they let me drive home. There is a lot of discussion and worry about "apixaban" and bleeding and other problems. I want to put everyone's fears to rest. Got mad at myself about 3 hours ago and slammed my head against

Going in For Second Ablation
Hi folks! I had my first ablation over four years ago, at Texas Cardiac Arrythmia with Dr. Andrea Natale. I wasn't able to come off my medication after, but the meds then worked to control my afib and numerous PVCs where it didn't pre-ablation. During these four years I had been taking 50 mg of Flecainide

Thanks everyone for your replies!
I’m still thinking. I have another appointment with my oncologist Feb 6. I’m going to talk more about it then. A nurse called yesterday to set up an appointment as it was approved by Medicare, must be expensive to get an approval first. She got upset with me as I told her I didn’t want it. I think

Eliquis
Seeing that a large number of people are changing from Xarelto to Eliquis as it appears to be safer, I asked my doctor to change me. I have the new prescription which I have not had dispensed yet, and it appears to be for 2,5 mg daily, I see the dosing information on the Internet that people of 80 and

Benefits of Zometa?
My oncologist wants me to start this. I’m already in so much pain in my hips I don’t want any more pain. I can hardly walk five minutes and I’m out of breath and the pain then is so excruciating I have to sit. He lowered my Ibrance medication to 100 mg now he wants to do this? I have blood clots in

WATCHMAN Inplant
Has anyone had the WATCHMAN Inplant? I’m 71, have Afib and I’m having problems taking 2.5 mg of Eliquis twice a day.. I’m wondering if there are risks involved with the procedure and if it’s worth it to have it done. Thanks.

What is AF Burden about?
I had a mild stroke in 2021, was discharged in 3 days w/ zero deficts. Discharge papers said the AF burden was 18%. Began Eliquis. Now, 2023, AF burden is 9 %. What reduced the burden and what does it mean?

Has anyone tried the above peppermint oil capsules for stomach cramps caused by diverticular disease please? I’m on daily flecainide and bisoprolol for my afib and don’t want to take anything that would rock the boat.

why a stress test?
Been a while cause all has been “quiet.” I have been taking Flecainide 50 twice a day, Eliquis 5 twice a day, metoprolol 15 in am and 12.5 in evening. It’s been a year. Occasional blip but nothing to talk about really. I’m 66, female, and exercise aerobically 4-5 times a week. Sleep and eat well, work

Thanks for your earlier support for my 1st ablation. But now more questions.
I had my catheter ablation for Afib Dec. 30th. I went in with NSR, succesful ablation according to my Surgeon, and woke up in NSR. Yay!! Not so fast. In just 2 days I was walking around and doing light work, Yay! But here's the thing, on Jan. 7 at 6pm I went into Afib and it has continued even

Blood clot and kidney
Had a CT scan and found out that I have a blood clot in my lungs and cancer in my right kidney. All was great on the last scan. Now this!! Dr ordered Eliquis , which Medicare will not cover and because I do have Medicare I don’t quaify for any assistance. Walgreens wants $850 to pick it up. That’s

Watchman Device
I had my third ablation on August 4, 2022, with the left atrial appendage isolated. EP recommends a Watchman device because the clotting risk is now increased. I have been taking Eliquis since my diagnosis. I would like to hear from anyone who has had the LAA isolation and if a Watchman device

cardiac ablation
my cardiologist had recommended an ablation a year ago but I choose to wait. I’ve had very few episodes on Flecinide and Eliquis. Now he’s saying my heart rate is getting too low and we need to revisit having the ablation. I’m looking for feedback from those who have had the procedure.

Switching from Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) to Apixaban (Eliquis)
I am switching my DOAC from Xarelto to Eliquis, mainly for ease of compliance. My eclectic eating schedule/habits made it difficult to rigidly comply with the rather bizarre dosing regimen for Xarelto, and the morning/evening dosing of Eliquis will be much more convenient, hopefully leading to more

IBS and auto immune disease Rheumatoid Arthritis
I heard that people with RA can be prone to IBS. Stress is my trigger but it could be the RA meds I'm on.. I use immoduim, peppermint oil and try to relax. A few months ago my GP ran tests and all came back clear. I've had it on and off for many years but just now it's pretty bad. Just started CBT
