Is xarelto better or worse then eliquis?
I was given xarelto for a dvt but I’m wondering what is the better blood thinner to take xarelto or eliquis? My doctor said I could take either. Has anyone had bad experiences with either? I’m scared to take it but I know I have to.

Blood Thinners
I take Eliquis 5 mg. twice/day. Have had 2 ablations an no AF for about 7 months. I also have Fibromyalgia and tender (trigger) points are increasing in numbers as well as intensity. I can't take Nsaids because of Kidney issues. I would like to try Tumeric or Relief Factor (lot of positive testimonials

Blood in urine Eliquis?
I have been doing well since my ablation just over a year ago. My phrenic nerve was paralysed which caused me some discomfort but that seems at last,to have healed. My latest concern is....I noticed that my urine is very bright and I mentioned it to the doctor when I went for something else. It was

Eliquis and shortness of breath
How to deal with the shortness of breath attributed to Eliquis. Is there a good time to take it to avoid the side effect when walking as part of my exercise program? Is there another blood thinner that does not have this side effect? Being outside is so important for my mental health during this crisis

Does Eliquis affect APS test results?
Hi everyone, I'm currently recovering from my second DVT in 9 months and am on Eliquis. I've had low positive Igg anti cardiolipin tests in the past, but had negative ones since. Today I got my results back and they are 35 Igg anticardiolipin and 1:160 ANA speckled . Can Eliquis cause false positives

Cardioversion
I am going for a Cardioversion in 6 weeks for my Persistent Afib, so am on Eliquis in preparation to accompany my (delightful!) Bisoprolol. How successful is the procedure? Any poll anywhere? I have heard that a lot of people revert back to AF in as little as a few days, even my consultant said that

I'm non Afib most of time (Afib attacks 5-6/yr.) Doc says Eliquis but 200 mg. Flaccanide gets me in sinus in 4 hrs. Must I take Eliquis too?
I'm a 76 yrs. old male, in excellent health and very active. If I have 4 to 6 bouts of Afib a year it's usually when I overdo things like heavy skiing, yard work or hiking and then have a few beers (2 to no more than 4) later. I now know this is not good for my Afib and am getting better recognizing

PFO, To close or not to close?
PV JAK2+, I’ve had an MI (4 years ago) and TIA (3 months ago) Docs thought the TIA was caused by a clot traveling through a PFO to my brain. Had two TEE (very invasive) and one TTE - believe it or not all with different results. Spoke with the interventional cardiologist today (by phone of course) -

How long do I need to stop Eliquis before eye surgery
I am thinking of having surgery on my eyes for Ectropion lower eye lid problem. I was told I would have to stop my Eliquis for 6 days before and two days after surgery. these seem long to me. I would like to know what is a reasonable time to go without the drug.

Anyone else taking Eliquis? Noticed any side effects?
My doc has put me on twice a day aspirin and twice a day eliquis (anti-coagulent). Been taking it for over a month now and seemingly no issues. Though yesterday and continuing today I am feeling a bit more light headed than usual. Perhaps its totally unrelated. I'll be starting on Pegasys shortly, but

Eliquis
Hi ... can l take Eliquis with squid oil? Why was l prescribed 5.0 mg. Eliquis twice per day instead of 2.5 mg. Twice per day? Why do they start with the higher dose rather than the lowest dose? It’s weird!

Is anyone else like WTF?
I’m very recently diagnosed ET with JAK2 mutation having been tested since I had a TIA (side note, had an MI 4yrs ago which may or may not be related). On a twice daily baby aspirin and eliquis, and starting pegasys soon. How life altering was this for you - particularly mentally? I consider myself and

Blood Thinners & Anti-Anxiety Meds
Hello, I have followed many of your posts and threads and they have brought comfort to me in my times of difficulty. THANK YOU. I had an ablation 11 months ago, for SVT, they went in thinking it was A-fib. Healing was slow, but pretty good overall. I have been on Eliquis since 2018. My question to you

Good times! Visited MD Anderson in November: bloodwork
