That’s exactly what I did too. Still, the Cardiologist and his PA say it doesn’t happen. Meanwhile, I have no quality of life. I did read that another woman in this thread has said she is now in a wheelchair. I live alone. I’m super frightened. I just turned 62. I am switching Cardiology practices. My PCP recommended a new Cardiologist and I am meeting with an Interventional Cardiologist to discuss the Watchman and determine if whether or not I am a candidate for it. At this time, I am in a highly dangerous situation because I am only taking aspirin and I took too many Liquid Advil trying to work after a botched hip revision surgery (obviously my first hip replacement surgery was botched too) but the second one was REALLY bad. In Henderson, NV. I should have listened to Mother and returned home to New York for that surgery. I started bleeding out, took a bunch of anti diarrheal meds and walked into the ER on my own while my Mom parked the car. They took me immediately. I have been fairly healthy other than my hip pain but now this. It’s just very depressing.

You need all options from your new cardiologist and perhaps a referral to a cardiac surgeon to get their insights if you are thinking of any surgery.

If you have the Watchman procedure, most take Eliquis for 2 /3 months before going off it as a protective measure.

Does Watchman address arrhythmias? I just think that it gets you off Eliquis.

Are there any options to Eliquis?
