Circulation Symptoms On Eliquis

Updated

Since starting Eliquis about 2 months ago I have painful circulation problems in my feet when first getting up in the morning which last sometimes several hours. I am 77 years old so not sure if this is just an aging issue, but it didn't exist before Eliquis. I had been on 325 mg aspirin for about 9 years with no problems for permanent Afib. My cardiologists say that because of my age and being female I should be on an anticoagulant to be more protected against stroke. I know these work different on blood thinning than aspirin did and wonder if my body is not adjusting to the different mechanism. Next step may be to see a vascular specialist.

I am very sorry about the problems that you are having, but can you please post back and be more specific as to the pain you are having due to circulation issues? Your post is very vague, which makes it hard to pinpoint any possible caused.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising.

I thought it was fairly specific to say painful circulation in feet making it hard to walk. It feels like when circulation has slowed (probably from lying down all night) and then blood starts to rush back in when you stand vertical. Only the degree of it is enough to make walking painful for the first few hours of the day. It is not numbness or tingling. Not nerves. Circulation.
