I think that @gloaming gave you the best advice. It is a personal decision. After my ablation in 19, my EP believed very highly in staying on Eloquis which I did. The first EP moved, the second EP looked at two different weeks when I wore the monitor with no evidence of Afib plus my telling him that at least every hour I check my HR via a Fitbit, he took me off Eloquis. And 8 months ago, I have a pacemaker implanted for Bradycardia. Too many factors for each individual risk, if there is any doubt, I would stay on the med. .
