Hi - I am 40 and in Aug a small blood clot was found in my left lung. I was placed on Eliquis 5mg twice a day. I felt better at first then I started getting worse. I was able to walk 2 miles after starting Eliquis. Now I get out of breath talking (sometimes) and high heart rate. It has gotten to the point where today I was 4 min into a Yoga warm-up when my heart rate jumped to 177. I was healthy before the blood clot. All of my test results come back clear and the clot has been gone now since Sept and I still feel like I did before I was placed on Eliquis. Quality of life is slowly getting worse.

Recovery from a pulmonary embolism may be contributing to you weakness issues. It takes time to recover from that. I know a marathoner who had a PE from a plane flight and it took him 2 years to fully recover from the PE.
