Razorgirl
Tried to lower dose of fleicanide to 75mug 2x a day since it has caused a long QT wave. Cutting a 100mg pill to 75 mg is impossible. Now, I have had quivering like my heart wants to do the dirty deed and go into a fib. I cough and it stops. Going back on 100mg two times a day, darnit. I will not take

Eliquis and Meloxicam
I have just started on Eliquis 5mg twice a day because my episodes of AF have increased in frequency lately. I used to have 1-2 episodes per year, but I have had 7 or 8 since the end of November. I have taken Meloxicam (Mobic) for arthritis for a couple of years and it works great - once a day with

Hi All, New member here. I've had a few episodes of AF in the past 6 years. The first one was due to "Holiday Heart" aka stress and drinking too much on my birthday (my 29th). Since then I had another episode of AF this past April in which my PCP put me on Eliquis and Metoprolol Tartrate which I have

Eliquis and hair loss
I have been on Eliquis since the summer of 2017. I began to notice my hair falling out and am now despairing about how much hair I have lost. I started with quite a bit, so others would not necessarily know what is going on. It is constant. It seems that this is a rare situation but I wonder if

Eliquis and Hair Loss TOO!
Following 2 back surgeries in '12 and '13 for 7 herniated disks, a stent, and more than a few embolisms (DVT & PE), I was on Warfarin for a couple of years. Labs were very inconvenient. Then something else--I forget what--and now Eliquis for a year-plus. BUT, I'm also taking BP and Cholestrol meds

Living in Afib
HI everyone, I am new to this website, but looking for some support and guidance. I am 54 and have had afib for years. I was never on blood thinners as the doctor told me I was at low risk for a stroke because of age and no other health conditions. Well, he was wrong. I had a stroke in August of

Advice needed. New to AFIB.
Hello, I’m a 47 years old male in fairly good shape. Until this summer, I could run 5 km or bike 40 km no problems. I’ve had episodes of what I used to call “heart palpitations” for years. It was always after an excersise sprint and would last for 30 second to one minute. This would happen once

Paroxismal Afib, diet and lifestyle
Greetings from Italy! I am new to this forum, so I would like to tell my experience of Afib. I am 74, male, decent overall health except hypertension kept down with drugs, a modest oesophageal reflux and paroxysmal Afib. I have had problems of missed heart beats for the last 20 or 30 years, sometimes

Paroxysmal AF
Recently, over a period of 12 months I get these sudden weakness nausea fainting feelings and my heart rate shoots up. Not sure if HR is because of anxiety whenit happens or happens because of symptoms. I've had stress tests, monitor and been in hospital a couple of times but Doctors say all ok ? As

Should I stop Eliquis?
I'm really wondering about switching back to warfarin. There is no approved antidote for Eliquis if one happened to be in an accident. Maybe hospitals do have a special unapproved treatment, I don't know. Eliquis is very convenient but is it worth it? Warfarin you can counteract with Vit K. I am wearing

Eliquis and grapefruit
I have just started Eliquis and am confused about grapefruit. The Bristol Meyers website says nothing and I have read postings that their agents say there is no problem. But other websites like WebMD advise against it, What is the prevailing wisdom. I only eat a half per day and no juice which I have
