Eliquis and Diastolic Heart Failure
I've been on Eliquis for 1-1/2 months. At first I was having a problem with low blood pressure. I noticed that 2 hours after I took Eliquis (5 mg.), my blood pressure would drop considerably, e.g. from 102/68 to 90/58. Now I'm noticing a trend where the systolic number will be normal to elevated and

Too Expensive
Had my RF Ablation Wed, May 3rd. Do y'all really pay that expensive price for Eliquis? Is that forever?

2 months & still waiting for cardiologist
After a 24 hour ECG ordered by my GP in January I was told I had SVT and prescribed bisoprolol, which helped a little at first but had some unpleasant side-effects. A month later I returned and the dose was increased as I still had palpitations. A month after that it was reduced again due to side-effects

Eliquis (apixaban) sticker shock in USA - how is it in UK?
When I picked up my first 30 day supply of Eliquis I was told that it costs $420.00. After pharmacist checked with my drug insurance it came to $199.00. The first thing that came to my mind was how can so many people without insurance afford to get it. Many elderly live on Social Security check of 1,500.00

Off of Flecainide and Metoprolol just 1 month after ablation
Just to share my experience post ablation because I see I am not the only one worrying. I was kind of surprised to hear from my EP to stop both medications just one month after the ablation - cold turkey. The explanation was that I was on Fleca "only" 9 months and just a small dose of Metopropolol

Cough
I seem to have a slight cough, these days. Not constantly, but enough that my wife has mentioned it. Just a little more than a clearing the throat kind. Has anyone heard if this could be a side effect of Eliquis?

Conflicting doctors advice
Hi... My EP nurse says I should be on Eliquis for the rest of my life to be on the safe side. My cardiologist says after your abalations have been successful for a certain amount of time you should get off it because of the risk of internal bleeding...what to do when two very good doctors have opposing

Feeling exhausted
I am new here. I have been on Diltiazem, Eliquis (Apixaban),Hydrochlorothiazide, Rosuvastatin for a couple of years now after a AF diagnosis. No surgery. This last few months I am feeling exhausted after only a few hours even after a decent nights sleep. I feel like I could just go back to bed.

Arnica Montana and Eliquis or blood thinners?
Trying to help my mom with post stroke pains (stroke caused by AFIB) with Arnica Montana and wondering if there is an interaction between these two. Somewhere I read that arnica has also blood thinning properties and may cause troubles. Thank you!!!

Eliquis and accidental scratch
My mom is on Eliquis and scratched her arm when she fell accidentally from the bed. She has a lots of bruises but two small scratches/scrapes that are leaking little bit. Will it ever close, or heal? Should I've take her to the ER or call ambulance? How dangerous these bruises are? What should I watch

AF & acupuncture & eliquis
I was wondering if acupuncture can help with AF. Also if eliquis is taken, would that cause bleeding (needles)?
