Can Eliqus Cause High Blood Pressure And High Blood Sugar? (Top voted first)

Updated

My mom started takin Eliquis 2X2.5 mg a few weeks ago. From about a week ago she got a problem with her blod pressure and blood sugar ad she feels very tired sometimes. I'm just wondreing if these problems with very high BP and Blood sugar are related with taking the new for her Eliquis and Betaloc ZOK she starded because of Atrial Fibillation she has now.
I'm very nervous about her condition now. Please help wit advice!

Hello, Daniela! How is your mom doing?

Yes, as reported by the FDA, Eliquis has been known to cause such issues as side effects, in some people that take it. Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

It can even cause or worsen A-fib, which you said she has, now.

She should have these issues checked out, it may not be the right medication of her to take.

Has there been any change?

Hi, my mom condition is very complicated because she is with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. There're were good controled before we found out she has AF. The doctor added betablocker( Betaloc) and Eliquis 2x2,5mg, because my mom is 74 yrs old and she is about 55kg. About two weeks since she started Eliquis her BP got high, and her blood sugar also got very high. She told me that she feels very tired during the day, not all the time, but when she try to walk out she feels so weak. Last night I told her to cut the Eliquis 2,5 mg on half and to take 1/2 in the morning and the other at the evening( I don't know if this is right!!!). Today the doctor corrected the Metfogamma because of her very high Blood sugar. She said that she feels a little bit better. I'm very confused because all of doctors I asked about if can be a medication's interaction said "No", but I think could be something like that. :(

I more confused then ever. My mom is with diabetes and hypertension but both were well controled. After she started Eliquis she got all of these simptoms. Now BP is OK, cross fingers, but her Blood sugar varies. On the top of everything she feels very tired when she's walking outside. Also she has numbness in her legs. I don't know if it's neuropathy because of diabetes, or something else. She had some blood work, but there is not anything that can explain her symptoms. All the doctors said that Eliquis couldn't cause all of these. But I'm really afraid if this bad condition of my mom is result of using Eliquis, or result of bad medication's interaction.?!!!!

My mom who is 94 has A-fib as well she Now, taking Eliquis, and they say it could make it worse! This troubles me because she had congestive heart failure in Dec. 2015 and this medicine was added to her list of meds. Besides her sleeping have the time now I have to be concerned with the A-fib. Should I contact her cardiologist to see if he will decrease this medication? I'm just asking for some input. The cardiologist doesn't see these side effect as a problem. she takes 6 other meds too. For a women that was very active, she is dwindling to nothing.
