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

Two studies now indicate that Eliquis can be used after an afib episode for six days as a pip type treatment. I know when I have an episode as do many..and our watches or Kardia can assist if unsure. I would so like to get rid of the side effects and not sure if coming from metoprolol or the eliquis. Wondering if anyone has spoken to Dr. about the studies?
