Eliquis and AFIB

I’m allergic to Eliquis. Found that out the hard way. After less than a day I had phlegm so thick I couldn’t breathe and severe gastro gas and bloating. Then Afib a few hours later. I stayed on the Eliquis a little over a week because the cardiologist said it’s not the Eliquis. Then I got confused and dementia like. The few hours a day I was alert it decided to stop the Eliquis on my own and find a new cardiologist. Sadly the only blood thinner I’m not allergic to to to warfarin. Even then I take only a tiny amount before my system goes wacky.
FYI most of the bad reactions from the Eliquis faded after a month except the gastro issues. If I get a gas bubble i get Afib so my food choices are very limited. Acupuncture for my anxiety (I never had before) and to help with the heart. This has helped a lot.

i find GI upset like indigestion and bloating triggers arrhythmias-

I am on Xarelto. No side effects.
