Eqiquis Nausea

Good morning, My 81 year old mother-in-law had hip replacement the day after Christmas. Her doctor changed her heart med to Eliquis in the hospital. Since then she has experienced nausea nearly every day, some days worse than others depending on how much she eats..which on some days is not much because of the nausea! Also, after 8 weeks in rehab she was sent to the ER for AFib, now my father-in-law is petrified that every time she feels sick she has A-Fib. So frustrating..they are living in the ER. Have felt that it was the Eliquis since they changed it, since she had no history of nausea before the drug change. Have made my feelings known to the nurses, but they say every heart drug could cause nausea.

Eliquis is not a heart medication, it is an anticoagulant that is used to help prevent blood clots.

The FDA does warn that nausea might be a typical side effect, along with headache, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising.

What medication was she taking before? There are other medications she can try, have they offered her any other options?

Is this the only medication she is currently taking?
