Ablations are pretty common today. I'm sure everything is going to be okay and you'll come out fine. I hope that if and when I have an ablation I can go off of Eliquis permanently. Nonetheless, I'm going off of it one way or another. I'm tired of the side effects.

Contrary to my doctor I have split my 5 gram Eliquis making it a 2.5 mg. I add a baby aspirin and fish oil pill mid day. At 5 mg my nose bleeds were dangerous. No bleeds since. Also heard that Eliquis is thinking of making a 3.75 mg dose? Makes sense to me because most cardiologists won’t recommend 2.5 unless you are 80 yrs old.

My doctor told me to stop "cold turkey" and go on Aspirin 81 mg every day. Fortunately I had an appointment with another practitioner and was told to remain on 5 mg every day until I had an ultrasound showing no signs of clots. Hope this helps.

I cut my 5mg in half solving my nose bleeds. So now I take essentially 2.5 mg and add in fish oil, flaxseed and a baby aspirin. All is well. I told the cardiologist that 2.5 must have some benefits! He said that there has never been a study on 2.5 mg. Well I did and I believe I am good.

For many years, I was a competitive runner. Also, I am a computer engineer. Discovered clots in lungs almost 3 minths,ago. No cause has ever been found. Given shots in stomach at hospital then xarealto. After 60 days could not handle side effects anymore. Moved to eliqius. Within 3 days, bleeding from recum and bad emotional mood swings. Dr took me off to dry out and get colonoscopy. Getting 2nd opinion on that procedure from my gi dr. Need only 3 weeks to hit 90 day Mark but Dr won't consider warfarin for that short of time and asprin either. Starting to get a clear head now but caught a cold and need asprin for the cold symptons. No side effects from being off so i am thinking of doing asprin on my own.

I wouldn't use the aspirin. try garlic capsules. garlic prevents platelets from sticking together, Take natural vitamin E every day. Hawthorn berries and drink lots of water!

I would be happy to discuss my experience with Eliquis if it could help prevent the type of side effects I was having. They switched me to Xeralto and it cut the side effects probably by 40%, but still these must be powerful drugs.
