I am just loving turning 60 last May. This year I've had an AVR in January now I'm 10 weeks post up and this morning I'm sitting back in the same hospital with a blood clot on my left leg from what they say caused by sitting in the car... Read more.

Oh no Bob, so sorry! I've been on eliquis for close to a year & had no bad effects- but you're right, there is currently no antidote. I'm pretty active, I mountain bike & hike- I'm alot more cautious on my bike now, but I've never had a problem- had... Read more.

Eliqius (as well as Xarelto and Pradaxa) does not have a specific reversal agent, but it CAN be reversed with medication in the hospital. It's MUCH easier to take compared with coumadin because of the monitoring issue. And it keeps you anti-coagulated more predictably. In terms of the ads, they... Read more.

Hi Bob, I'm just 4 weeks post op but am getting plenty of these as well. I'm hoping they go away too. I did have normal migraines before surgery, in fact increasingly so in the weeks leading up to surgery so I'm convinced it's related to it.

I had very problematic aural migraines before surgery, to the tune of several a month. I was hoping that post-op would show improvement, as those migraines impacted my quality of life more than my cardiac symptoms. I had about one every few weeks or so, and they have dwindled off... Read more.

Bob, I had a number of times when the field of vision in my right eye would mostly white out for a few minutes. Yes, scary stuff, and I did get checked. That hasn't happened in awhile. However, exertion headaches were a new development, and aura migraines returned, which I... Read more.
