Anyone have a Cardio or Electro Dr. doing PIP for Eliquis after study

I've read about this pill in the pocket approach and it certainly sounds like very good idea. The one issue is actually knowing when you are in Afib and starting the process of taking eliquis. If like me the only time I had a bout of Afib it was for 2 minutes and the people monitoring the Holter monitor had to notify me by phone that I was having an event.

Exactly. Some never realize they are in arrhythmia. So, the wisdom should be to have some kind of alerting device, a smart watch or a chest strap (Garmin) with real-time monitoring. Personally, I just have accepted that I am at a point where I might as well just take it twice a day prophylactically. I have no AF (28 months in remission after a second ablation), but I am also an aging male, a bit more chubby than I would like (long story, not all my fault), and due to that long story, spend a lot of time at home near my wife and seated at a computer (I can't watch TV for hours like some). With deep vein thrombosis a possibility, I might as well cover all the bases I can.
