Apixaban newbie
Hi everyone, found your discussions yesterday when looking up how to live with Apixaban due to atrial fibrillation. I'm an Eliquis newbie, on it for just 5 days. I've been freaking about bleeding, and what you all share is so reassuring and realistically informative - big appreciation to you all.

11 weeks post ablation. Still have chest pain.
I am 11 weeks past ablation and just came back from my 4th visit to ER for chest pain. This time they finally game me cardiac cath and I passed with no significant blockages. My ultrasound shows 70 percent heart function. I am in sinus rhythm and my post ablation palpitations have stopped. But no one

Eliquis
After three months of taking Eliquis, I have developed a severe upper body itching. Could AEliquus was possibly be the cause of this

Which anticoagulant is the safest
I have been on Pradaxa since I was diagnosed 4 years ago but thinking of asking EP to change it to Eliquis as I have read it is safer. Just wondered which was the most prescribed anticoagulant?

Advice PLEASE!
I haven't been active on the site since last year. I have been in poor health and just trying to get through each day has proven to be no small feat. I wonder if anyone else has had the struggles that I've had with inadequate medical care? I should be on anticoagulants for life but have been without

Anyone taking Coumadin?
Most docs now prescribe Pradaxa, Xerelto or Eliquis, but Coumadin is still the safest in terms of reversal in the case of bleeds. I understand the convenience of the newer drugs -- big Pharm has spared no money telling us this -- but wondering if anyone taking Coumadin could tell me how much of a bother

Did or didn't I take my medication this morning
I take 25mg metoprolol and 5mg Eliquis twice a day for aqib, this morning had a lot on my mind and couldn't remember if I took it or not, is it safer to not take the chance of taking it twice, or take it with the possibility you didn't, I wound up deciding not to take it and see how the day goes

Meds after ablation
I was on digoxin, eliquis and amiodarone for 1 month prior to my ablation. After the procedure I was taken off those 3 and left on metroprolol, is it a common thing to stop meds right after an ablation, I have been in a normal rhythm with a few pvcs/pacs and some palpitations!!

ALWAYS get a second opinion
I had been seeing the same cardiologist for 8 yrs for symptomatic afib. My afib has gotten steadily more frequent until now I have been cardioverted 3 times in the last 4 weeks. My cardiologist set me up with his EP to discuss cryo-ablation and I was not impressed. After some research I found the guy

Can ablation make symptoms worst?
I have persistent afib for 5 years now. Besides taking Eliquis, I tolerate my symptoms well. I'm scheduled to have an ablation in few days. My question is, anyone out there had the ablation and the symptoms become worst after? I want to get it done because my atria are enlarged and my ejection rate at

Diagnosed with Afib 3 yrs ago and put on Flecainide and Eliquis. Have not been in Afib since then. No flutters, nothing at all. I am having increased side effects of brain fog, shortness of breath on exertion, anxiety, lethargy, etc., presumably from one of the meds. My husband has Parkinson’s

My doctors will drive me to... death due to conflicting medications.
Health insurers hate me. I am on about 15-10 medications. At age 53, I had a small heart attack. I was born with a defective heart valve that was replaced 7 years ago (Afib was the sign it needed replacement). I thought the afib was gone. Then, 2 months ago, that valve was again replaced along with

AFIB, Eliquis and Gout
I was diagnosed with permanent AFIB in October 2017 after my resting heart rate skyrocketed to 140 bpm. I am taking Metoprolol and Eliquis for treatment. My resting heart rate is now 65 bpm according to my Fitbit. I have no symptoms other than feeling slightly tired sometimes. I have suffered with

Low heart rate AFIB
My younger sibling was diagnosed with AFIB and is on Eliquis and Metoprolol. She has frequent episodes, but always converts. Her heart rate never goes above 90 when she is in them. Is this true AFIB? Because of this she never communicates with her EP because it doesn't bother her. Is this damaging

Altitude afffect on AF?
I’m new to this community- I am 66 yrs. old and was diagnosed with AF last Fall. I live at an altitude of about 2,000 ft. I am planning a week long trip to the mountains of 8,000-11,000 ft. Does anyone have experience with such drastic altitude change and should I expect any affects on my AF? If so,

Eliquis & Osteoarthritis pain
I'm on Eliquis for 10 weeks due to pulmonary embolism. Will likely be on it for life. My long time osteoarthritis is making life miserable due to taking away Advil or Aleve. Tylenol does nothing! Can I take MSM? Or anything else??

Side effects from Eliquis
I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with stage 4 MBC in 8/17 after 10 years of being cancer free following diagnosis of breast cancer Ductal institute stage 0. I have been healthy and they found it in my eye on routine eye exam. I have no mass on mammogram and there are different opinions as to if
