Joint pain
Hello there! I've posted here before. I have LA and Hashimotos. I'm being treated with an anticoagulant (Eliquis), which is working very well for me. I know some people do not think Eliquis is the proper anticoagulant, but I talked in depth with my hematologist about the drug. My issue now is severe

Second ablation?
Hello, new here, I am contemplating a second ablaton and have some fear of it. Had one in 2013 worked some for about a year, steadily continue to have increasing episodes. They are not near as severe as they were before the ablation, but they can still knock me down pretty hard. The anxiety sometimes

My feelings after ablation surgery
I had a fib ablation and flutter ablation on Jun 6, 2017 and I feel so much better. Got out of hospital on Wednesday and was back to work on Thursday. I've been able to work out 5 times a week and I teach a spin class once a week. All I take is Eliquis. Doctor took me off of Sotalol. I feel so

Post-Eliquis
I've been off of Eliquis for almost a week now and have been having all kinds of side-effects: peripheral neuropathy which came out of nowhere, low blood pressure, and just a general sense of heart not feeling well. Anyone else experience this or anything else?? Thanks

Speedy heart
I have Afib and high blood pressure, I was just in the hospital for the AFIB. I was put on SOTALOL and taken off Carvedilol and Diltiazem, I also am still taking Losartan, Eliquis, Atorvastatin and 81mg aspirin. Will these meds keep my blood pressure and Afib under control?

I'm new here.
I am a 73 yr old widow. I have heart disease & 3 stents since 2009 & have have had AFib for over 2 years & now it has gotten to be nearly a daily occurrence. I tried Warfarin in January when I was having AFib about twice a month & could not tolerate it, so chose to not take anything. I’ve been taking

Lupus Anticoagulant
Hi! I was diagnosed with LA just recently. I am on Eliquis twice a day. There have been no problems with the medication and I am grateful for that. Unfortunately, my insurance will not cover it. I got a trial card at the hospital. What other medications are as easy as Eliquis? And will I have to be on

Shortness of breath - tired.
My pacemaker monitor has picked up only a few episodes of Afb, but I have frequent bouts of palpitations which I feel in my throat, my chest and my stomach. NO ONE HAS ANY ANSWERS! Plus, I am always tired. I am on Eliquis, Diovan, Amlodipine, Metoprolol and Norvasc - yes, Big Pharma loves me. Any

Post ablation-1year. Having irregular heartbeats lately but rate stays around 70. Feel quivers at night lasting only a few seconds.
It has been a while since I have been on here. Had an ablation after being diagnosed with afib last July. Have had minimal episodes during first 3 months and only episodes of "skipped of beats" lately. However I have noticed quivers at night or at rest. They go away when I take a deep breath. It feels

Clarifying previous post re ELIQUIS AND XARELTO-- HOW DO YOU TEST THAT THEY ARE WORKING?

Eliquis and Xarelto for A-fib: how do you know it's working?
HI -- i've had a-fib for several years but only recently started anticoagulant: Eliquis. If anyone here takes this or Xarelto -- do you get blood tested for coagulation rate? how do you and your doctor know if it is working, being properly absorbed, or if you are in theraputic range? The research literature

Other heart problems after ablation?
I would be very interested in hearing about anyone in this group who has developed other heart problems after having an ablation for Afib. I ask because last July I had cryoblation for my Afib and was doing okay until this past March when I developed some problems: tired, out of breath when I did anything

Phrenic nerve damage
I had my first ablation April 26th and it was an extensive ablation also. My shortness of breath and dry cough were my major complaint after the procedure. Could not get a definitive answer as to why I was so short of breath. My EP came to town and I was able to see him and found I was out of rhythm

3 months post ablation follow up and stopping Eliquis in 3 months?!
My EP was happy to inform me that 2 weeks of wearing monitor did not record anything bad. My recovery was tough for the first 2 months - shortness of breath and fatigue. Then one day everything changed as if I never had Afib nor ablation. I was off Metoprolol and Flecainidine after 1 months and he
