A Fib
My mom suffered massive stroke in Mid December and A Fib is the culprit. Now she is on Eliquis and since it is a new medication there are some concerns. I am reading all your posts but would appreciate any recommendations and advices. She had an A Fib episode yesterday during the physical therapy where

Flecainide failed after 8 months
Well, I was doing quite well with Flecainide but a few days ago my heart woke me up at 3 AM thumping and skipping beats. I took extra pill but it didn't help. AF continued the whole day and never stopped after that - 4 full days now, although it is not with devastating symptoms like a year ago that

High platelets and Eliquis
I am confused because my platelets are high which I understand is likely to cause blot clots and I an on Eliquis which I thought prevented blood clots. It seems to me this is a contridiction. Can someone explain this or should I ask my EP to stop Eliquis? Thank you.

Waves of Cold Going Through My Heart
I am almost 6 months post cryoablation and am only taking Eliquis. I also have a loop recorder implanted in October. For the past 6-7 weeks, I have been having short waves of icy cold in the middle of my chest. It comes and goes quickly - only seconds. But it does it all day long. There is no pain associated

Antiplatelet vs anticoagulant therepy
Just began taking Eliquis (anticoagulant) for Afib. As a result was told to stop Plavix (antiplatelet) and 81 mg aspirin. Plavix had stopped migranes in the past. My question: Are migranes likely to reoccur?

Not Happy!
I had my first episode of A fib 20 months ago after drinking coffee by mistake ( I am excessively sensitive to caffeine). It was cardioverted successfully. I havent been taking anticoagulants but now understand I probably should. (I have been waiting for the next episode to convince me that it is a problem

Done with meds! Except my NOAC
I have just finished reading posts from a year ago, and recent ones also. Have been on here several months and love the input and information I have obtained. Currently I am on metoprolol and eliquis, water pill, mag supplements and potassium. I am convinced I have vagal afib and metoprolol needs to

Help! Medicine I can use for common cold?
Oh boy, just came down with a head cold on Friday. It's getting bad with running nose, head congestion and now coughing. Can anyone tell me what's safe to take. I had a cryoblation done on July 21, 2016 and am only taking Eliquis. I'm terrified of going back into afib by taking some cold medication,

Uncontrolled bleeding events with Ibrutinib and in general
Hi all, On another forum I saw a comment by a patient who wisely advised wearing a bracelet bearing important information that could help medical personnel help a patient with an uncontrolled bleeding event but suggested asking for a Vitamin K shot in the event of a bleed. Bleeding is a concern with

2nd ablation done!
Just had my second ablation done Tuesday and am happy to say it was done in half the time as the first.......a mere 2 and half hours under GA. My EP was very pleased in that he was able to get to a whole area that he wasn't able to get to last year and as he put it " it lit up with afib" which he was

I'm new here, just diagnosed last month
I started having an accelerated heart beat on July 1st. It happened while watching TV about once a week. My normal resting heart rate is around 75 bpm. Mine would go from 100-150 bpm. I always new when it started and when it stopped. I wasn't in pain but I felt different. So I called a cardiologist

ELiquis is $457. A month
Just curious .....I am in the US and my Eliquis is $457. Month which is horrid. I had to do without basics before I got on Medicare but it only pays for a certain number of months and now I am paying that again. This is a hardship. I was wondering if it is a lot cheaper in the UK and do you think I

Any non rx substitute for Eliquis
Eliquis swell my gout joints, its a crazy pain...because of Eliq I have to take zylomprim.. Being on pharmacos treatment for the rest of my life is not funny. Is there any natural supplement or a non pharmaceutical substitute?
