Metoprolol as rate reducer with no affect on rhythm....
So after my last Holter showed 8500 episodes of SVT (Atrial Tachycardia) in 14 days, with a 19% burden of Atrial Ectopy and 11% burden of tachycardia, my EP recommended an echo (which was normal, thankfully), starting Metoprolol, and Eliquis, while I wait for another ablation. I have tried, and failed

NHS black box warnings for anticoagulants…..
Just seeking some guidance. I’ve been a member of this forum since 2014 and I can only ever recall seeing two very recent member references to black box warnings for anticoagulants in general and Apixaban in particular. This prompted me to type this header into the search box at the top of this page

Coagulation for Afib
I was diagnosed with P. Afib two years ago and have avoided taking blood thinners. After recently having an EP study and cardioversion the cardiologist wants to put me on Redoxaban as I refused to take Eliquis. I have a pathological fear of taking blood thinners. At the sign of blood I would have to

Affect of tummy upsets on anti-coagulants,
I was wondering what effect it has on the absorption of anti-coagulants, should something cause you to have diarrhoea - how long does it take after ingestion does it take something like an Eliquis tablet to become effective ?

Hello to all you wonderful people. Without getting into a lot of detail, I will try and get straight to the point. I’ve been told I can make a novel out of one tiny incident…..lol After having a Holter monitor for 72 hours, my cardiologist wanted to see me right away. He said he was concerned with

Alternative to warfarin?
Have any DOAC'S been approved as a safe alternative to warfarin in treating primary APS? I live in the States and will be meeting with a non APS specialist hematologist in a week or so to discuss the use of the DOAC eliquis for the treatment of my primary APS. I've not researched the use of DOAC'S

1 ablation 3 cardioversions
I’m 81. My afib was first diagnosed in 2020 but I’m sure it started well before. In 2021, I was prescribed diltiazem at ER. The next evening, after lying on my side in bed watching Masterpiece Theater for 2 hours, I stood up … and blacked out, falling and breaking my arm. I have low blood pressure, never

eliquis
hi everyone. I have always had a very sensitive system and been sensitive to medications. After not being able to tolerate the full dose of Eliquis with many side effects, I was put on a half dose. I am on week five of a half dose of Eliquis and I started getting very severe hip pain from an old injury

Half dose of Eliquis
I am 69 yrs old with low heart disease risk and have had diagnosed afib for three years. I believe I was suffering with it for 2-3 years prior but did not address it until I got the classic symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, out of breath, and vision problems. My doc ran numerous tests on my heart that

Experience with no medication!
Hello😊 does anyone as afib and doing nothing like me, I have persistent chronic afib for 4y now but NOT feeling it, only the cardiologist see it with control! He advised me to take Eliquis or I could have a stroke or heart attack! I’m sure and respect he’s medical knowledge and not against medication

AV Node Ablation Good News
After having 9 cardio versions (shock treatment) in the past two years and at the age of 77, I decided to go for quality of life and forego all the drugs that I have taken over the past few years. I tried two ablations and a few drug protocols of which none worked. After all of that and the worry of

Going off Eliquis
I had persistent AFIB for many years until I had an ablation procedure in 2022. It was successful and I have not had an AFIB episode in over a year. I check my sinus rhythm every day with my Kardia Mobile device and I am on 100Mg Flecainide per day. I am a 72-year-old man and very physically fit. Because

Paxlovid with Eliquis
What is the latest advice on taking Paxlovid for Covid if you are on an anticoagulant? Do you need to stop it or just be extra careful of bleeding or not take Paxlovid at all? I know you need to stop your statin drug while on it.
