Eliquis Doesn't Seem To Get Better Over Time

I'm 57 and had lone afib. It occurred 5 times in 5 years. They have done a cryoablation 4.5 months ago. I've worn the monitor now for 3 weeks and debt it back. Overt the last 2 weeks I called my doctor 4 times and never gotten a call back.

Eliquis, in just the last 2 months has caused me memory problems, very bad knee pain, BP had gone from around 125/ 70 to 145/80. Feeling very tired and lethargic. Weight gain, and the latest protien in urine. Since it was just spared to be for 3 months and I can't even talk to the office to make an appointment, just the answering service, today I'm switching over to aspirin

Hello, Giss! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems that you're having.

Many people have had problems with Eliquis and quite a few people have had to switch to something else.

However, high blood pressure is not a typical side effect, as listed by the FDA. This medication is actually usually known to cause low blood pressure, so you do need to see your doctor and have this checked out.

Are you on any other medications? Do you watch your diet to limit your fat and sodium intake?
