Pace and Ablate?
Does pace and ablate mean a cardiac abliation and a pace maker? I had a cardiac abliation end of March. Now my heart rate is all over the place. Take metoprolol tartrate 75mg 2 times daily and Eliquis 5mg 2 times daily and fosprinil 20mg once daily. Does a pacemaker control afib and then Yiu have to

Eliquis and Hair Loss -- a Connection?
I have been on Eliquis since August, 2017 and finally connected that timing with my hair loss ... which has been happening steadily over the last 11 months .... and getting worrisome at this point. I do have alot of stress in my life ... good stress and bad stress .... but have had that for years.

Occasional Celebrex whilst on Eliquis?
I'm currently on Eliquis (2x 5mg) for A Fib and flutter. I also suffer from bad neck pain due to severe degenerative cervical discs and disc osteophytes. Paracetamol has not been of much help, and would like to try a NSAID on the occasional basis when the neck pain is unbearable. I realise that anticoagulants

Is there anyone that is in a fib that really does not feel any symptoms from it or know it unless your doctor tells you are. Thanks
I found out that I had a fib two years ago in a regular routine physical- resting heart rate was 110 -I was given several beta blockers and Eliquis -also given a shock and my heart did not go back Rhythm. I found out I could not take the Beta blockers and then given cardizem 180mg with Eliquis- and

Eliquis and Ciprofloxacin
I was put on Eliquis several weeks ago after being hospitalized with multiple DVTs (and a history of DVTs and PEs). I also have chronic Urinary Tract infections. I have a prescription for Ciprofloxacin at home (doctor prescribed) and I'm 100% certain I currently have a UTI. It is Sunday here, and over

Eliquis and Cortisone
I have afib and I am on Eliquis. After some life style changes to my diet and including daily walks and yoga I was able to reduce the afib episodes to only 2 last year that were treated with PIP. Unfortunately I injured my hip doing a yoga twist. That was 4 months ago. I have been in pain and have gone

Eliquis and surgery
Eliquis and surgery. My EP says 5 days off eliquis before carpal tunnel surgery( which is very minor compared to something else ) and off 2 days after surgery. All the literature I can find says this is excessive. I am more scared of a stroke than the pain from the carpal tunnel.

New to this site; but not new to medical problems; but have to add lung problems to afib and others.
I'm new here. I'm an 82 year old male, who used to be very active (a Volunteer Fireman until about a year ago). I have afib, on Eliquis (5 Mg twice a day) and just had an Ablation to try and correct the afib; but in the midst, just diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Any help appreciated

Eliquis & low platelets
I have been taking Eliquis for 9 months, and my platelets have dropped from 150,000 to 118,000. I believe the norm is 150,000 to 400,000. I am waiting to see my EP after my 2nd ablation. Should I be concerned with the drop? Thank you !

Another step forward with solid EP visit
Good visit with EP today. A little more than 3 months since ablation. My EKG was great. I can stop Eliquis, imdur and reduce my Lipitor from 80 to 20 mg. Staying on sotalol for at least another 3 months, in part because I have been getting some short episodes of palptitations with activity since the

This isn't strictly AF but...
Since my afib ablation on Feb. 28, I have passed every heart test there is but still have a lot of chest pain. Yesterday, I had an MRI and CT scan of abdomen. MRI revealed nothing but a stiff neck. CT scan was more problematic. All doctor's secretary would say was I need to stop Eliquis right away and

Finally had enough!
Hello all! I am a 65 year old guy that has always led an active life. Up until 3 years ago I was a runner (Half marathon), kayaker, etc. Had a wild case of AFib after a race and had to visit ER. Since then I have experienced one or two episodes per month usually lasting 8-12 hours. Tried and hated beta

Eliquis (apixaban) cost and dosing question - Pharm wants $480 a month!
My insurance lapsed after our premiums went sky high ($1600 month family of 4) and my Eliquis is no longer covered. I have Afib once every 6 or so months and have to get cardioverted back into sinus, so my Dr. put me on the blood thinner last year. I currently take two 5mg pills a day. If I slowly cut

Sotolol
I know in UK that Sotolol is not used, but here In US it is. I have been on Sotolol since November 2017. I had an Ablation in late January. I tried once to wean myself off and AF returned mildly. I see my EP this week and hopefully will be taken off. I only take 40 mg twice a day now. Any

Which anticoagulant is best
I have been taking Pradaxa but saw a study that said Eliquis was safer so asked Doc to switch me. Now I am wishing I had not as I haven’t had any side effects with Pradaxa and there is a chance I could with Eliquis. Just wondered what others have experienced and which anticoagulant is the most popular
