Was put on it after the Plavix I took for years had stopped working and caused me to have a stroke. Heart dr. put me on that got so short of breath wrote the name of the medicine down in case the paramedics came for me. Very scary when you can't breath. PCP switched me to Eliquis and have been fine since look it up has terrible side effects.

I was on Plavix at first but it caused severe chills followed by 102 fever. Then I was put on the Brilinta. Seemed ok at first but then started having the severe shortness of breath. I am having surgery tomorrow so I have been off of it for the past 5 days…feel so much better! Just scared now as to what they will put me on after the surgery. I am facing a two week bleeding risk so that will limit what I can be put on.
