I’m addressing two of your comments.

One, about getting Afib after Covid vaccine.

I was diagnosed with Afib on. 4/01/23 with electrocardiagragm at Internist.
Saw cardiologist on 4/07/25.
He confirmed it and put me on Eliquis and blood pressure med.
His main focus was to have a sleep study set up and did not want to see me again even until that was done.

Got Moderna Covid vaccine on
4/11/23. Ended up in hospital on 04/16/23 with shortness of breath.
Had cardioversion done on 04/18/23 which did nothing for Afib.
Back in hospital one month later with Afib and 2nd cardioblationnwhich did nothing m.

So, I went from just having found out to have arrhythmia to being hospitalized 2 1/2 weeks later with an arrhythmia attack.
Cardiologist that I saw on 04/07/23 seemed not concerned about my Afib.
So, did the Moderna vaccine make the arrhythmia worse?

What was your timeline?

2) I lately have terrible back of knee pain at night only in both knees, ankle pain and foot pain.
lower hip pain. Hard to stand in one spot as knees give out.
Better in AM.
I was blaming this on taking Letrozole at night.
I started Letrozole on . 3/18/24.
Have had pain on and off with it since then.

Had never known about Eliquis knee pain.
Did not have knee pain like this til Letrozole.
Perhaps combination of Eliquis and Letrozole working together is causing these severe problems now.

What do you plans to do about your Eliquis pain?

I stopped taking Eliquis for 5 days (this is the longest time I was ever off Eliquis, Cardiologist okayed it, when I was having Dental surgery. no time limit, just get back on as soon as I finish with the surgery). My knee did get better, meanwhile I also visited my primary. Xray and Ultrasound shows that I have a Baker Cyst. Some kind of fluid deposit in the back of my knee. What causes? No answers! So systemically, ordered to see an Orthopedic and Physical therapist. Still wake up with pain in the calf as if I've been running Marathons.
So far, even my C Clinic Doctor agrees that Moderna Corvid Vaccine activated this. I was a perfect picture of health including a heart exam, in March 2021, just before the Covid Vaccine.
4/17/21 got Moderna Vaccine.
5/7/21, end up in ER for the first time in my life.
5/15/21, 2nd Covid Vaccine, didn't make the connection.
6/17/22 2nd Trip to ER, since then, I suffered Afib continuously.
6/28/24 I had an ablation, it stops, but once in a while, I can feel my heart rushes. I was advised that Ablation is not a cure all. Afib could come back.
